Pot, Meet Kettle

In an amazing display of brass, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin condemned Israel's Lebanon offensive, saying,

The continued destruction of civilian infrastructure in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories and the disproportionate use of force by Israel, which causes suffering to the civilian population, can be neither understood nor justified. (Emphasis added.)

Disproportionate use of force? From a man whose country's strategy in Chechnya is "level the town first and ask questions later"? His staff probably didn't know where to look when he said that.
