Russia’s Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov reserved some strong words for Sen. Lindsey Graham, who suggested this week that the U.S. should down Russian planes that “get near” U.S. assets.
“The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation explained in detail the reasons and procedure for the actions of Russian pilots during yesterday's incident over the Black Sea,” Antonov said.
“An armed clash between Russia and the United States would be radically different from a proxy war that the Americans wage remotely against us in Ukraine,” Antonov warned. Is the Capitol ready to expose American citizens and the international community to the risk of all-out nuclear war? Answer, dear senator!”on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, where he was asked what an appropriate response would be following the downing of an unmanned U.S. drone over the Black Sea.
Antonov’s statements came shortly before Fox host Tucker Carlson mocked Graham for the comments, ripping into him for “anti-American stupidity.”
