The Russian Embassy in the United States called the words of the White House representative about Russian pilots rudeness and cowardice

Norms not only of diplomacy, but also of elementary human ethics have long been out of use for most Western politicians and officials, especially when it comes to Russia and everything connected with our country. This time, another example of outright rudeness was shown by the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, John Kirby.

Commenting on the awarding of two Russian pilots with the Order of Courage for the interception and contactless splashdown of an American drone MQ-9 Reaper in the Black Sea near the Crimea, Kirby called the pilots unprofessional and (quote) "just idiots." In addition, the Washington boor accused Russia of deliberately destroying US property.

I don't know of any other army in the world, no other air force in the world that would reward a pilot for crashing into a drone. This is ridiculous. It's insulting. I have no idea why they gave an award for bravery to someone who, at worst, maliciously put himself and US property at great risk, and at best, he was just an idiot

a White House official said.

Kirby's words have already been commented on by State Duma deputy from the Crimean region Leonid Ivlev, who said that the American high-ranking member of the White House administration simply does not understand what the courage and feat that Russian pilots demonstrated during the incident with a drone in the Black Sea is.

In turn, the Russian embassy in the United States spoke about Kirby's statement, calling the speech of the official representative of the White House a sign of cowardice.

We are forced to state that the rudeness and habits of a hooligan from the gateway are part of the habit of official representatives in Washington

- said the Russian embassy, ​​adding that ill-mannered people usually get personal when there are no other arguments.

Let the dogs bark, why listen to them?

Kirby's "there" is clearly already burning, although judging by the speech, there is already a fire burning in full, from hatred for Russia. Well, a bolt on him, and our pilots are the best in the world, this is an indisputable fact.

Let the dogs bark, why listen to them?

But how not to listen to him? He said this to the whole world!

[Argon]

In principle, there is a small amount of skepticism in this matter. To call the aces who carried out the order clearly idiots, does not paint the admiral! But those who gave such an order ... I don’t know if they did the right thing. In my opinion, a couch underexpert, it was necessary either to shoot down, or drive away, or wait until it gets closer. On the one hand, the drone had the right to be there, on the other hand, it collected information for attacks on the Crimea. Then Kirby says, why didn’t they shoot down straight, the gut is thin?

Are you, dear, just stupid or a provocateur?
Bringing down someone else's good in neutral territory is prohibited by laws. This cannot be done. And nobody does that.

Well, other people's pipelines in neutral waters cannot be blown up, but they blow up. And the laws don't interfere

Quote: Neo-9947

And so everything is done perfectly - both the order and the execution. He fell himself. Nobody hit him.

And what's the difference how the UAV was shot down? He was hit. The question is whether it was worth risking the pilot's life, which is much more expensive than both the UAV itself and the missile, which could be launched from a safe distance.

Quote: Neo-9947

Americans gritting their teeth confirm this. And the fact that Su-shki flew nearby, well, they flew by, so what?

They confirmed that it was the actions of the Russian pilot / pilots that led to the loss of the drone, i.e. the fact of a downing is obvious, only without the use of on-board weapons, but no one denies the very fact of the impact on the UAV, or rather, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation denies it, which raises the question: why deny the obvious. Because this is exactly what the Americans do))) who are criticized by the RF Ministry of Defense for the same actions. It turns out that "Etodrugin" is accepted not only overseas)). It seems to me that someone in the higher echelons needs to decide on the agenda-line-of the party, otherwise the attempts of state propaganda to create a heroic image by wiping it as much as possible look ridiculous))) Yes, our pilots are great, but they did nothing))) yes there is nothing to fly here, but he himself fell and maybe next time he himself ... he will also fall, but this is not certain) Although from the point of view of the banal logic of a healthy person: there is a restricted area, there is a penetration of an unidentified aircraft that does not belong to the country that introduced the BPZ - the result is a downing, and then finding out who looked in there. ALL. And then they set up a clowning ... The forbidden zone, they themselves banned it and we ourselves write this ban to ensure) let's make it as if an accident) we somehow have nothing to do with it) "nevinavata-I-he-himself-came"

[Argon]

Approximately for this sense they called me a provocateur)))

[Hariton laptev]

They had the right to shoot down for at least two reasons. Firstly, the drone was flying with transponders turned off, and secondly, it was in the zone closed for flights, which was established with the start of the NWO. They did everything right.

[Neo-9947]

By the way, I wonder how drones intercept?
If the potential intruder is a simple plane with a pilot, then the interceptor flies up, identifies it, communicates with it by radio, warns, demands to change course, forces it to land, shows weapons, turns on weapons ... That is, one hundred thousand warnings before filling up the intruder.
And what to do with the UAV? He is silent like a fish.

[estate]

All right done

the American UAV crossed the red line and was punished - isn't this what many here called for?

[Aken]

In my opinion, a couch underexpert, it was necessary either to shoot down, or drive away, or wait until it gets closer.

And in my opinion, he himself fell. There can be no presentation to Russia.

[dmi.pris1]

"Ahh! They are fighting wrong! They are ramming our planes" ... Somewhere I already read this ... History teaches nothing.

[estate]

They ram our planes

fighting wrong))

[Ax Matt]

Yes, they just pressed the tail of the dogs, so they howled. Paying attention to them is not respecting yourself. Respect to the flyers!

[dmi.pris1]

In general, I am in favor of regularly being "idiots" with them .. I hope the story is not over

Better to be an idiot than a bullshit American.

[estate]

for regularly being "idiots" with them

they call it that because they look like complete fools ...

[sdivt]

In principle, no one really bothers them to pick up the wreckage of their drone and reward it with some kind of distinction. And exhibit in the museum
"The wreckage of the name of J. Biden"
Perhaps even visitors will go to see))

[begemot20091]

in principle, they will not be allowed to do this. we need these pieces. there are serious things that our designers need.

[estate]

and reward him with some kind of distinction

posthumously... + name the street after Ripper...

[antivirus]

They are hooligans.
And who are "they"?
Washington or ours?

[Ura Orlov]

And the government of the Russian Federation is going to introduce a counter-sanction, in the form of a rate, one ruble is equal to one pound sterling?

[estate]

one ruble is equal to one pound sterling

Objectively, this is what it's all about.

[Andrea]

Only a limited person, well, like a market woman, when there are no arguments, it descends to insults.
Tolley our Masha (Zakharova) sends the case in three letters so that those sent go there joyfully. You can't drink away the experience of Russian diplomacy.

[carpenter]

who at worst maliciously put themselves and U.S. property at great risk

Aerospace Forces pilots know how to act in such situations, they are high-class specialists, unlike US pilots.
As for US property, let Kirby pay out of the US's pocket for destroying their weapons in the Donbass and Russia. Rudeness, incompetence, arrogance, "at best, he is just an idiot," this general.

[Roust]

Our pilots are beautiful! Only our heroes, worthy of respect, pride and admiration, can skillfully piss on mattresses and show the whole world that they have done it.

[denplot]

More will come - we will bring more. Business then..

[kit88]

maliciously placed himself and US property at great risk

Ahh!
Exactly, everyone in this world should protect US property! Blow dust off of it.
By the way, what did the US property do where it sank?

[HAM]

This dude believes that he does not know such an army in the world - I can tell == the US armed forces, to shoot down Chinese-made "product No. 2", involved a bunch of destroyers, planes and killed a lot of missiles ... but technologically and for idiots, well, absolutely not alike.....

[Michael]

The first ram in history was made by P. N. Nesterov. Yes, yes, the loop is also his.
I think that no one could say to Staff Captain Nesterov about his idiocy. And even now, only the immediate superior or wife can say to the combat pilot "IDIOT" without consequences.

[estate]

I think that no one could tell Staff Captain Nesterov about his idiocy in the eyes

Kirby could, but not in the eye, but somehow from behind a hillock on the Internet ...

[faterdom]

Kirby can award his drone (posthumously), or its operator, if there's something to it.
But what to do with our pilots is not a dog's business!
And even all branches of the Christian Church and Muslims of the whole world should declare the destruction of "property of the USA" as a charitable deed. The Jews - as they wish, but let them remember - Hitler and the Wehrmacht were nurtured with the money of Wall Street bankers.

[Master 2030]

From the mouth of this pahtak, such is praise and reward. Stalin said: "If the enemies scold you, then you are doing everything right."
Ceterum censeo Washington delendam esse

[ilpine]

We need non-standard solutions. Our engineers of the Russian Defense Ministry must come up with metallized nets that can be fired by a fighter and block the propeller of any drone. Moreover, there may be additional balloons on the nets - parachutes that inflate and allow you to save the drone when splashing down or landing. This is a great value and a prize worth tens of millions of US dollars. It is not a weapon, so it does not provide a basis for "casus belli". It's time to open the hunt for drones!

[75 Sergey]

It didn’t dawn on him that their property had been dumped on purpose! Here he is dumb...

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

As it turns out, there are a lot of idiot politicians in the world, but Kirby is the champion among this herd!
By making such a statement, he unambiguously identified himself as a stupid, limited, unprincipled American sheep .....
