So what's the deal here? orth Korean light off a possible nuke, and the Russians refuse to talk, or are too incompetent to figure out how, or Lavrov doesn't like Kerry or has no respect for him?

"There's been nothing frantic about it. He reached out to Foreign Minister Lavrov yesterday, made it clear again today that he's ready to talk whenever Foreign Minister Lavrov can find the time," Nuland said.
