Russia Warns U.K. and NATO Next Black Sea Spat Will Be Met With 'Most Severe' Response
Brendan Cole - Yesterday 5:02 AM


A top Russian official has issued a warning to the U.K. and its NATO allies, saying any repeat of an action like that undertaken by the British Navy warship that sailed close to Crimea last month would be met with a "most severe" response.

The comments by Mikhail Popov, deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council, show the anger still felt by Moscow after the Black Sea spat prompted by HMS Defender for sailing past the peninsula Russia annexed.


Russia had also blamed the U.S. for being involved in the incident, which took place amid a backdrop of NATO Sea Breeze 2021 exercises in the region that Moscow considers its backyard.

In an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the newspaper that most closely reflects Kremlin thinking, Popov said that the navies of NATO states were being used as a means pressuring Russia.

Accusing British sailors of "deliberately" violating Russia's maritime borders, Popov said that it was "a pre-planned provocation, which was rightfully suppressed."

Popov said that a repeat of such actions "will continue to be suppressed by the most severe methods, regardless of the nationality of the violator.

"We invite our opponents to think hard about whether to organize such provocations, taking into account the capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces," he said.

Popov criticized the U.K.'s claims that it was following internationally recognized freedom of navigation rules in Ukrainian territorial waters. He took aim at British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab in particular for suggesting that such sailings would continue.

"This implies that such provocative actions by British ships are not excluded in the future."

Popov said he would "like to ask" both Johnson and Raab: "What will they say to the families of the British sailors who will suffer in the name of such 'great' ideas?" Newsweek has contacted NATO and the British foreign office for a response.

Popov's comments echo those of Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who warned last month that Russia could resort to bombing if Moscow believed that its borders were not being respected.

Popov also used the interview published on Wednesday to criticize NATO's activities near Russia's borders, the U.S. development of its global missile defense system and increased aerial reconnaissance over Russian territory amid a spike in tit-for-tat intercepts of aircraft between the countries.

I simply have to ask, is there anybody here that thinks it is a good idea to be engaging in this type of shoving match with the ffking idiot Biden as commander-in chief of all of our armed forces!!???
I mean , knowing that the corrupt and senile old idiot is-- TRIULY OWNED -- by the CHINESE GOVERNMENT..

Did we se any of this type of aggression and threats made when Trump was in charge???
Hell no!
Why?
Because they did not own him....

You ignorant dem/libs/leftists have set in place a massive weakness that can and will be exploited.
By stealing an election and putting in the piece of shit puppet.
This dumbass lying asshole that is as corrupt as they come!
I call all of you that voted for this POS-- damn idiots- too damn stupid to even know how to vote for the safety of this nation, the safety and well being of yourselves and your own beloved families....
All because in your blithering blindness, and massive arrogance within you morons hated Trump.
Cold, hard, naked truth sometimes is a real biaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatchhhh... .. - -Tyr


edit:
Biden acting tough against Russia-- while the real threat is his damn owner-- China.....
A truly pitiful display of idiocy and corruption both, imho.

[darin]

its okay! We'll apologize for being racists and a terrible country and kowtow to Russia's 'common sense USA-control measures'.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Very likely be the outcome when Russia does not back down to the blithering idiot that sits on the stolen throne.
He is an avowed Dem after all, and they are genetically prone towards being damn ffing cowards themselves.
And also prone towards being allies with the dark side on just about everything. imho..-

Now China is acting up as well but Biden seems to ignore that.
He certainly would not want to make his owners angry.
The American democratic party is nothing but a damn cancer...----Tyr

Don't poke a sleeping bear with a stick unless you are prepared to fight to the death. It's probably going to be.

We aren't, so what's the point to this? Piss off Russia for no gain?

A correct analysis my friend.
But there is one gain.
The gain Biden believes he gets for being -owned-- by his great ally China.
If USA and Russia are at odds with each other- who profits the most from that-- China...
Trump was moving USA away from China.
And not letting China shaft us as they have been doing for the last couple decades.
Now- China has its man -the puppet Biden doing its biding......
That ffing idiot just reads whatever his handlers put in front of him.
None of what that moron is doing is his own ideas --rather it is the Dem party and the globalists
that are running the office of the President ...
A very sad and most tragic reality...
One could end up spelling the demise of this nation, imho..-Tyr

Biden and his cronies and handlers are forever trying to reset the clock back to "Russia is the enemy". Doesn't help that old school, hard line 'better dead than Red" folks can't let go of Russia when Russia's got nothing on the communist state China is.

Our own government and the left are trying to make sure we don't even have a fighting chance.
