Remember Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf? Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister definitely does, as he increasingly adopts his laughable Comical Ali act and rattles his vain nuclear sabre in public.

Comical Ali promised that an invasion of Iraq by the allied Gulf coalition, in response to Iraq's assault on Kuwait, would result in the "mother of all battles" and that Americans would "burn in their tanks". Just hours later, elite Iraqi divisions were abandoning their equipment, positions and even clothes in a desperate attempt to escape the allies' advance.

Clips showing "proud Iraqi warriors" sprinting away in sheer panic through the desert dust in their underwear, with some of them dressing up as women or attempting to surrender to US reconnaissance drones in the resultant confusion, can still be found on social media.

Comical Sergei now claims that Western support for Ukraine may trigger WWIII and that the West should be afraid. Hahaha! Bless!

Should Russia place a single soldier, rocket or bullet on NATO territory beyond Ukraine, Russia's military would be - and rightly should be - eliminated. The Russian army of child rapists and pillagers would be last seen sprinting away in their underwear, leaving their equipment, uniforms and even their loot of Ukrainian iphones and washing machines behind.

We should not fear Russia. They should be scared to death of us, of NATO, of the free world! After the arse kicking they are already receiving from brave Ukrainians, Russia's any remaining offensive capability could easily and rapidly be destroyed by NATO.

The stark evidence is right in front of our eyes. After two months of incompetent aggression, their pathetic, corrupt military is losing this war. The truth is that the Russian army rather than being the alleged second best army in the world, has proven to be a poor second best army in Ukraine. Senior commanders are being picked off by Ukrainian snipers. Their flagship is now scraping the bottom of the Black Sea. The Russian army only makes a positive impression on parades in Red Square. It can't compete on a military level in Ukraine and has retreated into primitive bombardment of, and war crimes against, civilians.

Come on, were you really fooled by Russian propaganda, do you really fear this useless, barbaric horde?

Russia couldn't organise any conventional or a nuclear confrontation with NATO. I bet most of their nuclear warheads and Gen 5 weaponry would prove inoperable and the remainder would be intercepted or destroyed at launch.

But in case I am wrong, and being as cooly rational as anyone, if Russia really insists on threatening us with their rusty nukes, I'd happily support a pre-emptive NATO strike to disable their nuclear offensive capability. Let's hammer Russia now, while they are overcommitted in Ukraine!

Better we should be sure than sorry, right Comical Sergei?
