Russian DFM: West acting like 'monkey with a grenade'

Share:

Dmitry RogozinThe Western countries are acting in the Islamic world like a “monkey with a grenade,” a Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin was quoted by AFP as writing on Twitter on Tuesday, as the United States and its allies get ready for the use of force against the Syrian regime of president Bashar al Assad.

In a related development a Russian cargo plane carrying food aid for Syria landed in the Mediterranean city of Latakia on Tuesday and would evacuate Russians wanting to leave the conflict-torn country, the emergencies ministry said.

The Ilyushin-76 plane belonging to the Russian emergencies ministry landed in the Syrian port city with a cargo of 20 tons of humanitarian aid, largely conserves and sugar, emergencies ministry spokeswoman Irina Rossius said.

On the return flight to Russia later Tuesday, the plane would take 180 citizens of ex-Soviet states wanting to leave Syria including 100 Russians, she added, quoted by Russian news agencies.

“On the way back, the plane will take Russians and citizens of ex-Soviet states who have made clear a desire to leave the country,” she said.

    Well, aside from it being difficult to ‘get the message out’ to those who might wish to hop on a plane (and for them to get there), it’s nice some food arrived INSIDE the country. How’s the distribution system doing?
    We can see it’s not safe to ‘tweet’ anything … hehehe … but I thought that was TWO monkeys tossing the grenade around and back to ‘the west’.

      Did you believe it was food that was being delivered?
      I heard from another source it was flowers and perfume…
      Since I was a kid I learned that people resort to insults when they don’t have good arguments anymore and it’s clearer by the minute that Russia has lost all logic.

        Sigh … I could hope Mekenseh … but yah, we really don’t know.
        And by this time, I’d hate to be a Russian trying to drive to Latakia for a flight. 😉
