Russia

Yes, Hübschräuber - as you have showed us, Maria Zakharova has a splendid sense
of humor, and has clearly earned your admiration for that alone.

But she has a serious side to her too. I'm sure you were aware of it
already, but there might be plisters who are not.

At a press conference on Friday Zakharova said: "Clearly [the] accession of
Finland and Sweden into NATO, which is first and foremost a military
alliance, would have serious military-political repercussions that would
demand a response from our country."

A point well taken. As one branch of my family tree is Swedish, I'm really
paying attention to this wise and considerate spokesperson's words.

No wonder this all-round authority inspires your confidence, Hübschräuber.
