“Let me tell you that if we manage to lose, the Hague, whether real or
hypothetical, will come even for a street cleaner who sweeps the
cobblestones behind the Kremlin. Whether one more Kyiv district is
without electricity won't change the magnitude of the catastrophe that
will befall our country if we manage to do it. It's unimaginable. But we
cannot lose. As for the Hague, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of
the kitchen.” -- Putin propagandist Margarita Simonyan, head of the Russian propaganda channel RT, on yesterday's Know Your War Criminals Evening with Vladimir Solovyov on Rossiya-1. Damn right you're going to the Hague, if the Russian people don't get to you first.
