Yes. Over-reacting and risking a major international incident by poking and prodding at cold war tensions needlessly. These are not contradictory statements.

However at the moment I'm just more bewildered about the fact that this has been (here, and across the media) turned into yet another UK domestic politics playground spat. Just ridiculous . Great Britain, ladies and gentlemen .

Corbyn is 100% to blame for that. If he had supported the government, which is the norm on occasions like this, no matter who is in power, there would be no issue. Corbyn decided to be an idiot and try and point score.
