NATO has invited Montenegro to join the alliance. In case you never heard of Montenegro – and who has? – it’s a tiny little country in the Balkans with only about 650,000 people.
Normally, nobody would notice because the country is way too minuscule for anybody to care. But Russians, in accordance with the tradition started by their dearly beloved Stalin, consider Europe their property and are now freaking out.
Russia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Lavrov has been raising a huge stink, calling the invitation “irresponsible” and “a provocation.” Russia is promising all kinds of sanctions against Montenegro if it exercises its sovereign right to accept the invitation.
Why these people can’t just mind their own business for once is a mystery. In the meanwhile, in the Russian – occupied Crimea, people are exhorted only to use public toilets in groups of at least 3 and flush once, after the last of the group is done. As we say in Ukraine, these are the people who want to lecture us on how to pick our noses.
