SOCHI, Russia, May 12 (Reuters) - Top U.S. and Russian officials said they hoped to work together on contentious issues such as the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria but offered no sign of concrete progress after more than eight hours of talks on Tuesday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met for more than four hours each with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss topics including the Iran nuclear talks as well as the civil strife in Yemen and Libya.

Speaking to reporters afterwards, the two foreign ministers accentuated the positive despite the fact that U.S.-Russian relations have sunk to their lowest level since the Cold War largely because of the Ukraine crisis.

Ooops!!

Where are the Lemmings who were predicting ....or perhaps hoping for (i.e. merely echoing Babylon Media they follow) the collapse of the Russian economy, revocation of World Cup hosting rights, unfinished stadia etc etc etc

Unnu know unnuself....Nuh mek mi affi name unnu fi expose unnu folly directly

What you Lemmings seem to have missed is that the world has CHANGED. New powers are rising...not only BRICS...but Iran, Turkey, Vietnam to name a few. The world is also INTERDEPENDENT. Trying to isolate the world's biggest country has only driven the Russians firmly into China's embrace... The country with the largest population and perhaps now the largest economy

Russia-China now have a developing military, economic & geo-political alliance being put in place. They are coordinating policy to reduce the power of the West (really the USA because Europe is a mere neo-colony). That, folks...is VERY BAD NEWS for the West.

Then again some "astute" observers believe all this means is "more business for the USA"

Woooiiiieee mi Belly!!!

Yep I saw that reported a few days after the incident. Of course the US denies that the SU-24 Fencer blinded the radars & communications terminals on their most advanced AEGIS destroyer...rendering it helpless. Who knows the truth??

What I do know is that Russian EW equipment is VERY potent

I read that their is a flaw in the design , that renders it almost useless when a vessel is not with the fleet or a "companion/s" per se

The Aegis CCC combat platform is overbuilt in typical US style.... Far too complicated. When systems are too complicated...they fail often or are more susceptible to hacking

Tens of Billions in contracts to Lockheed Martin to get the big boys nice and fat...while the populace remains ignorant

yes dats what the defense person said the more complicated the easier to foil
