World War Wednesday – “One Does Not Give 24 Hours Notice to a Nuclear Power!”

“Climbing up on Salisbury Hill

I could see the city light

Wind was blowing, time stood still

Standing, stretching every nerve

Had to listen, had no choice

I did not believe the information

Just had to trust my imagination” – Peter Gabriel

While you were sleeping…

You know that funny story about the former Russian spy and his daughter who were poisoined in the UK (Salisbury) on March 4th and how the British investigated it and, Monday, Theresa May told Parliament that it was “highly likely” the Russians were responsible?  Well the British demanded an immediate response from the Kremlin or Britain would immediately place sanctions on them and now it gets REALLY amusing as the Kremlin called May’s speech to Parliament “a circus“ and, when they say “circus” they mean the boring Russian kind with no animals!  

Then (and here’s where it gets REALLY funny), Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova replied (or threatened – it’s hard to tell the difference with Russians):

“One does not give 24 hours notice to a nuclear power“ adding that the “Skripal poisoning was not an incident but a colossal international provocation.”

THEN things got really crazy (not Trump crazy, but crazy for normal people) as a Twitter war erupted between the UK and the Russian Embassy:

• “Moscow will not respond to London’s ultimatum until it receives samples of the chemical substance to which the UK investigators are referring.
