Russia, it seems, has run out of patience with the “yapping lapdogs”

— representatives of the so-called rules-based order.

This was stated to RT by Greg Simons, Professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University in Dhaka. He commented on Vladimir Putin’s words that the Russian Federation will respond in a mirror fashion if Western countries seize Russia’s merchant vessels.

“Like many capricious children, they do not sense boundaries and do not know when to stop. In what we are observing now, I see a sign that those times are over for them and that their continuing actions will not go without consequences,” Simons concluded.
