“Fishwife’s rhetoric” demonstrated by British Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson “perfectly characterizes an extreme degree of his intellectual impotence”, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on March 15.
Earlier, Williamson reacted to the question about possible countermeasures by Russia in response to the British sanctions over the alleged poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal by saying Russia “should go away and shut up.”
The Russian military noted that the vocabulary used by the British defense secretary “only confirms the vanity of all of London’s accusations against Russia… but also the total pettiness of the ‘accusers’ themselves.” The ministry described the U.K. as a “cozy home” of “fake sensations.”
“As for the boorish expressions by the UK Defense Secretary regarding Russia, in the absence of actual results of his official activities, apparently, they alone remain in the arsenal of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces,” the ministry noted.
