“Double standards,” practiced by the West towards Russia, once again came out thanks to the sentencing by the British court an eighteen-year-old resident of London, and an expulsion of the Canada’s Ambassador from Saudi Arabia. The “incorruptible” Western media did not brand these two states “totalitarian regimes.”
Do you recall squealing of the liberals in Russia and leading Western publications in defense of the convicted terrorist Oleg Sentsov? One of their arguments was the following: Ukrainian “patriot” was just preparing to commit a terrorist attack, his arrest prevented him, as a consequence there were no victims.
All right, let’s look at the BBC website and read what they say about the sentence the British court passed on the eighteen-year-old Safaa Buolar.
“Safaa Buolar, convicted in early June of plotting a terror attack on British soil has been jailed for life with a 13-year minimum term. She became the youngest woman convicted of terrorism in Britain.
18-year-old Safaa Buolar originally from the London district Vauxhall was in a jihadist group, calling itself “Islamic State” (recognized as a terrorist and banned in Britain, Russia and other countries).
How do you like it? Does this sound like Sentsov’s case? Also a terrorist and a brat, she also was “only” preparing a terror attack, and she also, like Sentsov, did not have time to commit it. The “most humane court” in the world sentenced her to life in jail. I hesitate to ask: where are all those screams of honored British actresses, petitions addressed to Theresa May and Elizabeth II, and all this?
What’s symptomatic is how the UK judge rebuffed in his sentencing statement the defense’s argument that the defendant realized her wrongdoings and regrets her actions.
“She acted with open eyes,” said the judge. “She was old enough to make her own decisions and her own choices,” he added, calling the girl “not stupid and able to very clearly argue her ideas.”
Buolar is still a danger to society, the judge decided.
Mind you, the girl tried to pretend that she no longer shares the radical ideas. The court refused to believe her. Sentsov doesn’t even pretend to feel remorse. He continues to flaunt his flavor of “patriotism” in favor of the terrorist Ukrainian state shelling Donbass. But, Safou Buolar didn’t find any support [of the “democrats”], while Sentsov is being defended by them until foam starts coming out of their mouths.
A second fresh example of the Western “double standards” is Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom arrested local civil rights activists. Make a note that they just fought for their civil rights and didn’t jump around a temple as the ever-memorable Pussy Riot [feminist group]. Canada’s Foreign Ministry has tried to express an outrage by issuing a statement saying:
“Canada is gravely concerned about additional arrests of civil society and women’s rights activists in Saudi Arabia, including Samar Badawi. We urge the Saudi authorities to immediately release them and all other peaceful human rights activists.”
What happened next? That’s right. Riyadh threw out the Ambassador of Canada. Has the State Department expressed its indignation? Did Madonna wear a t-shirt with portraits of arrested activists? Not at all. After all, Saudi Arabia is not Russia, but a valuable ally of the US, and the collective media chihuahuas didn’t get a command to start barking at the Saudis. They ignored the fact that Canada just got slapped in a face for attempting to intervene in the domestic affairs of the kingdom.
“The Canadian position is an overt and blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is in contravention of the most basic international norms and all the charters governing relations between States.” The Saudi Press Agency quotes the statement of the Foreign Ministry.
Conclusion? We should act like Britain and Saudi Arabia. As for those who protect terrorists, immediately take their cases to be investigated by the security services as possible participants of terrorist organizations. In events of meddling into domestic affairs, expel diplomats and recall ambassadors for consultations. And suspend new trade and financial operations, as Riyadh has done.
Every hostile act against Russia should be punished. A stick is the only tool to point to a yapping bunch its place. And those expressing “deep concern”, it’s just a password for shaking the air.

My research of the war on Donbass is available at the saker.community book store
The War on Donbass, which is called by the Western politicians and media the “Russian aggression in Ukraine” was a staged psyop.
My illustrated investigation titled Pokémon in Ukraine reveals how this psyop was staged, by whom and why.
As a Canadian, I don’t see how this would make things better for everyone.
Nothing so big as canada was ever built on a pile of sand. Even bigger than the pile the house of Saud sits on. It’d be better for Canada to just sit down. Find the Luxembourg in your genealogy, sit down, be quiet.
The article concludes correctly. Watching clips of Vesti news teaches us Russia has a serious liberal problem. They should continue with diplomacy, never be hostile, but never listen to liberals. It really gets them off their game, as they try to remember liberal theories while national security is at stake. The academic mind, brazen as it is, can’t admit it’s less intellectual than a garbage man’s when it comes to war and subterfuge.
The war in Yemen is a drastic example of double standards employed by the West. When Crimea was reunified with Russia, the West accused Russia of “annexation” and “aggression”, forgetting to explain how Russia managed to “annex” it own land (Crimea was annexed by Ukraine in 1954, without this act being ratified by the pertinent Soviet authorities, a point constantly ignored).
Why has oil “rich” Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen ? The answer to this question is that Saudi oil fields are becoming depleted, with the Saudi Government issuing fake oil estimates, the same being inflated by 80 %. Saudi Arabia is slowly but surely running out of oil. It has therefore, with Western backing, attacked Yemen, hoping to grab it’s untouched oil fields. In the process it has killed a heap of civilians. Any legal consequences for this Saudi aggression ? No. Has that International Court in the Hague reacted ? I have not heard that it has. Has the UN prevented this aggression ? No. Has the EU intervened ? No, because it needs oil.
It is this type of behavior and double standards that is contributing to international institutions losing esteem and authority and for the rise of populism in Europe and elsewhere.
Some jews see Crimea as theirs, and claim to have been there a very long time. Would be interesting to read what Auslander says about that.

Some months back Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the whole of Iran is Jewish Holy Land, which I am having trouble both believing and accepting.
As for the former Khazars, they were constantly on the move. First time I have heard that Crimea should belong to them.
There is no way that Iran is Jewish Holy Land, since it would have had to have been mentioned in the Bible, which it most certainly is not.
Also, looks like the Donbass region – into Russia – was also claimed by the fake jews, as mentioned by Schnitzler on a map in 1857: ‘Empire des Khazars’.

The Iranians/Persians saved the Jewish people on 3 occasions. To claim that Iran belongs to them is a total joke.
FYI, the Exodus from Egypt never happened – because the Jews were not there at that time. The Old Testament is largely based on Yemen and the Hijaz (the West of today’s Saudi Arabia).
For over 100 years, archeologists have been searching Palestine of anything Jewish from that period. The latest I read is that they found and Ancient Egyptian brewery in the centre of Tel Aviv :)
“Ancient Egyptian brewery found in downtown Tel Aviv”
https://www.timesofisrael.com/ancient-egyptian-brewery-found-in-downtown-tel-aviv/
The Egyptians and everyone else abandoned that area as it had become too arid. At the same time, Yemen had plentiful rain and that is why the Jews (i.e. Arabs) and non-Jewish Arabs were there.
Thieves always operate on a notion that others hold *their* stuff
But I am rather curious if you realize that by posting that jewish drivel,
you are spreading mental poision?
Another internet lie that took hold in people’s minds is that Khazarians were jews.
That lie was made up by the Habsburgs & German nobility in the 17th-18th century,
so they could dump their jewish problem on the East European states and send the jews
back to ‘Khazaria’. This was debunked long ago.
Another internet lie is that Crimea became Russian in 1783. No, it reconnected with
Russia after taking it back from the Turks (Crimean Tatars). But Crimea was Russian
long before that, how else could the Russians receive Christianity in the 10th century
exactly on Crimea.

I was not aware I was posting any “Jewish drivel”. I think that my comment is perfectly clear. As for Khazars, a former Turkish pagan tribe, they took the Hebrew faith and become Jews overnight.

Jews Are Not Descended From Khazars, Hebrew University Historian Says
New study finds no evidence that Ashkenazi Jews are the descendants of Khazars, or that subjects in the medieval kingdom converted to Judaism en masse.

Genetic studies on Jews have found no substantive evidence of a Khazar origin among Ashkenazi Jews, as opposed to evidence they have mixed Near Eastern/Mediterranean and Southern European origins

According to Jon Entine, historians and scientists believe the Khazarian theory should more accurately be called a myth.[2] The strong claim has been widely criticized as there is no direct evidence to support it
&
But the Khazar-Ashkenazi hypothesis came to the attention of a much wider public with the publication of The Thirteenth Tribe, by agent of the CIA Arthur Koestler in 1976. But Koestler’s work was mainly a hsitory of the Khazars, and merely provides a suggestion that European Jews may be descended from them, without providing any proof.

The logic of this article is a little muddled. I had a hard time following it other than pointing out of the obvious and well known double standards the West has.

“There is a reason the US State Department refused to answer when asked directly if they had known about, and therefore tacitly approved of, the Saudi flip-out before it happened. One thing the world has learned about Trump is that he is a master of payback. So why not Trudeau?”
Amidst the dross and drivel a likely scenario…
