The Russian Ambassador is going to get a dressing down from the country that had the sun set on its empire?

Snort! The British overestimate their importance in the scheme of things.

Without its nukes, Russia would be just another developing country that hasn't figured out how to provide clean water to its citizens. Britain has a bigger economic output number than Russia, despite having less than half the population. Besides, Britain isn't just Britain - it's part of the ABCA group, which cumulatively has 11x Russia's GDP, despite only having 3x the population.

The Foreign Minister is going to dramatically read Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade to the Ambassador...
