Russia Is Disadvantaged by Her Belief that the West Is Governed by Law<\/a><\/h3>\n

Ukrainian military ships have violated Russian restrictions in the Sea of Azov and Articles 19 and 21 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The Ukrainian Navy crossed the Russian sea border and entered a closed area of Russian territorial waters. Clearly, Washington was behind this as Ukraine would not undertake such a provocation on its own. Here is an accurate explanation of the event:\u00a0https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/444857-russia-ukraine-kerch-strait-standoff\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Russian Navy detained the Ukrainian ships. Of course, the Western presstitutes, most of whom are CIA assets, will blame \u201cRussian aggression.\u201d Washington and its presstitutes are doing everything they can to make impossible Trump\u2019s expressed goal of normal relations with Russia. NATO spokesperson Oana Lungescu quickly aligned NATO with Ukraine: \u201cNATO fully supports Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and its territorial integrity, including its navigation rights in its territorial waters.\u201d\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/NATOpress\/status\/1066796714672222210\/photo\/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1066796714672222210&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rt.com%2Fnews%2F444853-russia-ukraine-ships-conflict%2F\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The US military\/security complex prefers the risk of nuclear war to any diminution of its $1,000 billion annual budget, a completely unnecessary sum that is destined to grow as the presstitutes, in line with the military\/security complex, continue to demonize both Russia and Putin and to never question the obvious orchestrations that are used to portray Russia as a threat.<\/p>\n

The Russian goverment\u2019s response to Ukraine\u2019s provocation and violation of law was to call an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, as if anything would come of this. Washington pays such a large percentage of the UN budget, that few countries will side against Washington. As President Trump\u2019s crazed UN ambassador Nikki Haley said, \u201cwe take names.\u201d<\/p>\n

From all evidence, the Russian government still, despite all indications to the contrary, believes that presenting a non-threatening posture to the West, which appeals to law and not to arms, is effective in discrediting Western charges of aggression against Russia.<\/p>\n
