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