For four and a half years, Russia has been battering Ukraine’s civilian population with missiles and drones in a no-holds-barred war of attrition — killing babies, women, and old folks; destroying homes, shops, schools, hospitals and transportation hubs; kidnapping children and re-homing them in Russian territory; and burning wheat fields in order to systematically starve the Ukrainian people.

And now, when Ukraine launches a successful drone attack on Russian tankers in the Sea of Azov — ships operating in violation of existing international sanctions — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has given us one of his best straight-faced stand-up routines:

“What the Ukrainian regime is doing goes beyond even piracy. Pirates, at least, plunder and keep the spoils for themselves. But here, it benefits neither them nor anyone else — the goal is simply to cause damage and intimidate. It is terrorism, pure and simple.” [Reuters, July 14, 2026.]

Methinks someone needs to educate that man about people who live in glass houses . . .

Just sayin’ . . .
