Sergey Lavrov goes off on the Obama administration in an interview with The National Interest, responding to what Russia considers "normal:"
"''Normal' is to treat your partners with respect, not to try to impose some of your ideas on others without taking into account their own views and their concerns, always to try to listen and to hear, and hopefully not to rely on a superiority complex, which was obviously the case with the Obama administration. They were obsessed with their exceptionality, with their leadership."
