Earlier this week, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev wrote in a post on Telegram that provocative statements issued by leaders in Europe are contributing to heightened tensions in Ukraine amid the crisis, adding that "the number of leading idiots in NATO countries is growing," he wrote.
"One newly minted cretin - the British Minister of Defense - decided to transfer English training courses for Ukrainian soldiers to the territory of Ukraine itself," Medvedev underlined.
"That is turn your instructors into legal targets for our Armed Forces. Knowing full well that they will be mercilessly destroyed. And no longer as mercenaries, but precisely as British NATO specialists," he explained.
"Another fool - the head of the German Defense Committee with an unpronounceable surname - demands that Taurus missiles be immediately supplied to [Kiev's forces] so that the Kiev regime can strike at Russian territory to weaken the supply of our army," he underlined.
Moreover, the National Security Council's deputy chief threatened that "they say this is in accordance with international law. Well, in this case, attacks on German factories where these missiles are made will be fully consistent with international law."
Medvedev ended his commentary with the following, warning that the prospects for a third world war are not far ahead due to the foolishness of European leaders.
"Still, these idiots are actively pushing us towards a third world war..." he concludes.
