Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a bike crash outside Geneva Sunday, where he had been holding nuclear talks with Iran’s foreign minister. Kerry called off the rest of his four-nation trip and will fly back to Boston. State Department Spokesman John Kirby said Kerry is stable and never lost consciousness. Kerry should make a full recovery and is in good spirits, he said. The accident occurred near Scionzier, France, outside the Swiss border. Paramedics and a physician were on the scene with his motorcade at the time. Kerry was transported to Geneva’s main hospital HUG, where he was being evaluated, Kirby said. A paramedic traveling with his motorcade immediately examined Kerry after his bike apparently his a curb, causing the fall, Kirby said. X-rays at the Swiss hospital confirmed that Kerry fractured his right femur. Ending the trip means Kerry is skipping meetings with Spanish leaders and a conference in Paris on fighting the Islamic State group. Kerry's cycling rides have become a theme of his diplomatic journeys, often taking his bike with him on the plane. During discussions in late March and early April between world powers and Iran, he took several bike trips during breaks in the negotiations. Those talks were held in Lausanne, Switzerland, and led to a framework agreement. Kerry met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for six hours in a Geneva hotel Saturday as the sides now work to seal a comprehensive accord by June 30.

If only a score more would break their legs and be laid up for months. We might pull out of the mucky hole that our newly elected Congress keeps pouring water into.
So the American people sent Kerry to Geneva to hold nuclear talks with Iran’s foreign minister. I'd say a pretty f**king important mission. So what does he do? He goes riding a bike, breaks his leg, and has to return to the U.S. Oh well. I guess the talks weren't that important. That's the general impression, anyways.
Good One!
I guess this means he will be awarding himself another Purple Heart.

The general impression from the beginning is that the U.S. caved before the "negotiations" ever started. It appears that this particular Kabuki theater would have ended months ago had it not been for the French and possibily others hanging much tougher than the U.S..
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Lol
Yes! Too bad he did not crack his head open !
