"Weak-Ass Thinking"
yakov_a_jerkov — 11.05.2017 К фотографиям Трампа с Лавровым и Кисляком, предыдущая запись.Оказывается (via rsokolov) Белый Дом понимал, что фотографии будут выглядеть плохо, не настолько они идиоты. И именно поэтому они не пустили на встречу американских журналистов.
Однако, они, Белый Дом, оказались не настолько не идиотами, чтобы не пустить туда также "официального фотографа Лаврова". Каким-то образом, они думали, что фотографии не будут опубликованы.
Но, what a surprise (!), русские их обманули.
Отсюда:
The administration official also said the White House had been misled about the role of the Russian photographer. Russian officials had described the individual as Lavrov’s official photographer without disclosing that he also worked for Tass.И Отсюда:
“We were not informed by the Russians that their official photographer was dual-hatted and would be releasing the photographs on the state news agency,” the administration official said.
As a result, White House officials said they were surprised to see photos posted online showing Trump not only with Lavrov but also smiling and shaking hands with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The White House did not anticipate that the Russian government would allow its state news agency to post photographs of an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the US, a White House official said. [...]Ну, что тут сказать...
"They tricked us," an angry White House official said.
"That's the problem with the Russians -- they lie," the official added.
