Russia has accused NATO wargames and the US in particular of being confrontational acts liable to destabilise the security situation it was announced yesterday.
Following the statement was a highly unusual seismic event across the entire planet.
'The was a low level global earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale' said Professor Charles Langtree of The Felchfield Institute.
'It was caused when 7 billion people simultaneously collapsed to the floor in laughter at the preposterously un-selfaware statement by Russia'
'Because invading Georgia and Ukraine constantly just add to global stability don't they?'
'Next they'll be mocking up CIA intercepts conspiring to bring down MH17.'
'What? That's happened? Seriously?!? I was taking the piss! Fucking hell.'
