Russia's Defense Minister Tells UK Defense Secretary Fallon: ‘Don’t Tell A Bear What To Do’

RT: ‘Don’t tell a bear what to do’: Russia brushes off UK warning not ‘to stick paws in’ Libya

The Russian defense minister has warned against telling “a bear what to do,” as he was commenting on his British counterpart, describing Russia as “a bear” and saying the West does not need it “sticking its paws in” Libya.

“While on the ‘animal’ topic… What do they [UK] have on their coat of arms? A lion, I guess. There is an old saying: all lions are felines, but not all felines are lions. Let everyone mind their own business. I don’t think that there is an animal in their zoo that can tell a bear what to do,” Sergey Shoigu said while answering questions from students at a conference held by the Moscow State Institute of International Relations on Tuesday.
