Still, the Russians know how to mess with the Western media. Russian Ambassador to the UK, Klin, understands that he cannot escape without saying what the other side wants to hear, so he cleverly teased a malicious trap set by a BBC reporter.
The BBC reporter asked: 【Russia has made a series of accusations regarding placing sensors at sea to track British nuclear submarines. Will you deny it?】 If Klin firmly denied here, the BBC and other European media would definitely make a big deal out of it to fuel the Russia threat theory.
Klin, with a nearly split grin but barely holding back his laughter, answered in response: 【I won't deny it. I'm curious who would care about Britain's old and outdated nuclear submarines. Only Russia is interested in monitoring these old submarines equipped with obsolete nuclear warheads. Hahaha.】
Reporter: 【So you're not denying it then?】
Klin: 【Not denying, uh, what? The 'Russian threat' theory invented by the British? Cough.】
