Russia calls Canada 'warmonger' over Ukraine drone deal, threatens response

Those evil Canadians!

Russia’s foreign ministry on Wednesday harshly criticized Ottawa’s drone production deal with Ukraine, calling Canada a “warmonger” nation and vowing “an appropriate response.”


The ministry’s spokesperson Maria Zakharova told a press briefing in Moscow that the deal, which will see Canadian-made drones head to the battlefield in Ukraine, amounts to a “significant” escalation in Canada’s involvement in Russia’s war.

“All pretense has been cast aside,” Zakharova said in Russian, according to a translated transcript.

“The full base nature of a state far from being peace-loving has been revealed, but rather a warmonger, seeking by any means necessary to further fuel this bloody conflict. We reserve the right to provide an appropriate response.”

If only when some politician said something so preposterous, so full of projection and so insulting to anyone with an IQ > 60, their head would actually explode, like a melon left too long in the sun; it would make me happy. Does that make me a bad person? Thar she blows!
