I'm not here today, but I thought this was funny so I wanted to share it.

Russia now has the right to strike at military targets inside the UK, especially weapons manufacturing.

I know you are immediately hung up on that statement. The "right"? WTF? I know, I know. It is not my word.

David Cameron, UK's foreign secretary, said that Kiev has the right to strike at targets inside of Russia's territory with UK supplied weapons.

If that were true (which I just laugh at that, I don't think rights have any business being in these kinds of statements), then Russia must have the right to strike at the UK where such weapons are being made, based on their "right" to defend themselves.

Not the escalation path I would be taking if I were the UK foreign secretary.
