   Russia's space industry chief appears to have indirectly issued a strange   
   threat to the United Kingdom and its prime minister just a day after the   
   test of an upcoming nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile.   
      
   Russia carried out a test of its in-development Sarmat missile on   
   Wednesday, which has been interpreted as a show of strength nearly two   
   months into its widely condemned invasion of Ukraine.   
      
   Dmitry Rogozin, director general of Russia's Roscosmos space agency, took   
   to Twitter on Thursday in what appeared to be a further show of force—this   
   time directed at U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his famous tousled   
   blond hair.   
      
   In his tweet, Rogozin posted what he dubiously claimed was a comment by   
   Johnson, translated from Russian: that the U.K. reserves the right to   
   carry out a retaliatory nuclear strike against Russia without first   
   consulting with other members of NATO—the international military alliance   
   that it belongs to, along with the United States.   
      
   Rogozin wrote, translated from Russian: "Boris, if 'Sarmat' is used, none   
   of you will 'consult with each other'.   
      
   "And there will be no-one to style your hair, Mr. Prime Minister. Yes, and   
   there will be nothing [nowhere?] to lay."   
      
   Newsweek has been unable to independently verify whether Johnson ever made   
   the comment that Rogozin alleged he did.   
      
   A spokesperson for 10 Downing Street, the office of the U.K. prime   
   minister, told Newsweek they were not aware that Johnson had ever made any   
   such comments and were looking into the matter further.
