“ Intentionally attacking a Russian aircraft in neutral airspace is not just a crime under international law, but also an open declaration of war against the largest nuclear power ,” Anatoly Antonov warned. - An armed clash between Russia and the United States would be radically different from the proxy war that the Americans are waging remotely against us in Ukraine. Is the Capitol ready to expose American citizens and the international community to the risk of all-out nuclear war? Answer, dear senator! "
This is how the ambassador responded to the threats of a number of American parliamentarians, in particular Senator Lindsey Graham, to shoot down Russian aircraft in international airspace if they come close to US military equipment.

The problem is that some of the cabal beasts would be happy to have this conflict spiral out of control and go nuclear - especially if they realize their reign of terror is coming to an end. They'd rather scorch the earth than not be in control.
That's a serious response to the flippant, evil DS minions who have no concept of what accountability for one's words actually entails.
Edit: I'm guessing this verbal escalation is going to scare the sheeple, especially those with military draft-age children.
