Caption: Belgian Defense Minister Claps Back at Russia’s Medvedev — With Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down”. Belgium’s defense minister Theo Francken has entered a social media feud with Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev — soundtracked by Selena Gomez’s hit “Calm Down.” The clash began after Francken told Belgian outlet HUMO that NATO “will flatten Moscow” if the Kremlin ever attacks Brussels. Medvedev fired back, calling Francken an “imbecile” and boasting about Russia’s Poseidon nuclear weapon, calling it a “true doomsday weapon.” Responding to a social media user who joked about testing the weapon in Belgium, Medvedev warned, “Then Belgium will disappear.” On Thursday, Francken responded on Instagram: “Russia’s bully-in-chief never stops threatening and insulting.” He clarified that NATO “is not at war with Russia” but that the alliance’s “strike back” principle “has been undisputed for 76 years.” The Instagram post was paired with Selena Gomez’s 2023 remix of “Calm Down,” seemingly a message to Moscow to relax.
