Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova hit at Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby on Saturday after he got emotional talking about her country's invasion of Ukraine.

In a post on the messaging platform Telegram, she wrote in an "opinion" post that the press secretary is "losing his nerve."

She called his comments "rude, insulting and troublesome," noting he "said some nonsense" about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Among other gibberish, he said it was ‘hard to look at what Russian forces are doing in Ukraine.’ Really? How hard can it be for an American rear admiral to look at anything?" she asked.

Wonder if Kirby is one of Bammy’s “rear” admirals...

Whatever your opinion about this mess, her comments don’t help their position.

On March 11, 2021, Kirby condemned Tucker Carlson for his comments that accommodations for women in uniform, particularly maternity wear and haircut regulations, somehow impact the readiness and effectiveness of the United States military.

On August 16, 2021, Carlson criticized Kirby for saying that Kabul was not in an "imminent threat environment" even as it was falling to the Taliban.

Kirby needs a safe space.

Would that that which Russia has inflicted upon Ukraine be inflicted upon the entirety of Russia. 10 fold.

I'm voting "not guilty". (despite the fact that she, like Mo Obama, appears to have a Nike deal)

Watching that video of John Kirby and his wussy emotional display is a reminder that we are governed by fools.

All we have left for leadership is pussies because the Kenyanesian Usurper ran off all the warriors.

Kirby is not a warrior, and all his postings have been administrative and PR. I’m not surprised he wept.

Give me a Chester Nimitz any day.

That’s a legacy disaster from Caliph Baraq that most folks don’t even think about.

“Really? How hard can it be for an American rear admiral to look at anything?” she asked. “

We certainly have one “Rear Admiral” that is such a joke that we all know that the Navy farts in his/its general direction.

Fugly as hell, too.

Anyone from the pentagon complaining about “horrible photos” after the last 20 years of American foreign policy is either a fool or lying.

The founders knew what they were doing when they specified natural born citizen.
Unfortunately too few know what it means and why they put it there.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation was a fatal error.

Trump was our chance at a restoration and the operatives he embedded in every agency took out Trump.
