Lavrov mocks US, NATO 'dad' comment

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has mocked the United States and NATO, stating they must break the habit of imposing their will on others and punishing everyone. He made the remarks in response to a statement by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who had previously referred to US President Donald Trump as 'dad'. Lavrov ironically commented that 'someone will have to break the habit of hiding behind the backs of a 'dad' or 'uncle'.' The comments highlight ongoing rhetorical tensions between Moscow and the Western alliance.
