On July 22, 2021, the Russian Federation filed an interstate complaint against Ukraine to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) invoking Article 33 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).
This step is long overdue. The current situation in Ukraine leaves Russia no choice but to involve international courts. We are referring to the discrimination against the Russian-speaking population, including their deprivation of educational rights; the persecution of journalists and the media; the regular atrocities perpetrated against Donbass residents during the so-called antiterrorist operation carried out by Kiev against its own population; as well as the disastrous consequences of the Kiev regime’s actions for residents of Russian border regions, such as the water embargo of Crimea, as well as for other states – Ukraine was responsible for the MH17 crash through its failure to shut down its airspace. All the claims against Ukraine made in the Russian case are supported by a solid body of evidence that has been accumulated over the years.
The Russian government made this balanced decision based on many factors. Firstly, international agencies seem to entirely disregard the above-mentioned human rights violations in Ukraine; secondly, Ukraine continues to violate its obligations under international law, as well as its own Constitution; thirdly, the Ukrainian law enforcement and judicial systems have failed to properly investigate these egregious facts.
The Russian Federation has all the legal grounds to bring this case before the ECHR because it advocates for the European legal order. The ECHR underlies the entire value system of the Council of Europe, and all member states have a legal interest in maintaining it.
We call on the international community to finally heed what is happening in Ukraine. Russia’s appeal to the ECHR is aimed, among other things, at providing the Court with full information about the atrocities committed by the Ukrainian authorities or with their connivance, leading to numerous violations of human rights guaranteed by the ECHR.
The large number of individual complaints filed with the ECHR, including about the events in southeastern Ukraine, is evidence of the huge scale of the human rights problem in that country.
We expect the ECHR to take an impartial and non-politicised attitude towards the Russian case, and the Court to make a thorough examination of the materials and evidence presented.
US Ashkenazi neocon, Victoria (fuck the EU) Nuland, was doing a lot more than passing out cookies to Nazi thugs in Kiev back in 2014. She was instrumental in bringing down the legitimate government of Ukraine. Biden has her tasked with this ongoing project right up to this very day.
The AngloZionist Empire has historically been Russo phobic. This goes way back to 965 when Sviatoslav I destroyed the Khazar city of Sarkel and its capital of Atil in the Caspian Expeditions of the Rus’. What is now Ukraine and southern Russia, was the old Khazar stomping ground. As the Khazars morphed into being the European Ashkenazim who eventually migrated to the UK and the USA, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Ukraine was the birthplace of Zionism. This is why US Christian Zionists and ReTrumplicans, who see the Ashkenazim as being the rightful heirs to all of Palestine, put up such a fuss when Biden does anything that looks like détente with the Russians.
It also explains the lust for Crimea.
Much more “homeland” than a piece of desert.
I fully agree. The Ashkenazim have no connection to Palestine. The Palestinians of today are direct descendants of Jesus and his flock. They are true Semites – which the Ashkenazim are manifestly not. The Ashkenazim, whether based in Israel or elsewhere, are the real rulers of the USA and Israel.
The irony is, US so-called Christian Zionists are totally taken in by the Ashkenazim, both in the USA and Israel. Pastor John Hagee, head of Christians United for Israel, bragged recently, “Since holding its first ‘Night to Honor Israel’, Hagee Ministries has donated more than $100 million to Israeli and Jewish charities.”
They are fully on board with everything the European Ashkenazim are doing in Palestine as it sets the stage for the apocalyptic final conflict that will bring their warrior messiah back to Earth to smite all unbelievers, everyone but them apparently.
Taken in?
They, ‘Christian Zionists’ proceed from scripture in error and the Ashkenazim lap it up all the way to the bank!
Someone needs and desperately so to remind these people of the words from 1 Peter 3:16:
“He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.”
These folks can quote scripture until the cows come home. Their Scofield Reference Bible was financed by New York lawyer and committed Zionist, Samuel Untermayer. It’s impossible to overestimate the influence of this Bible on US evangelicals. If Cyrus Scofield hadn’t been seduced by Zionism, the USA most likely wouldn’t be mired in all these “forever” wars that have bankrupted the nation both financially and morally.
“When 50 million evangelical bible-believing Christians unite with five million American Jews standing together on behalf of Israel, it is a match made in Heaven.” [Hell is more like it.] – Pastor John Hagee
100 million dollars to the enemies of Christ and the Church? sob, sob? I can’t even begin to describe what the emotions of St. Paul and/or St. Peter would be to learn of this?
Further what ever happened to taking care of widows and orphans which is the Biblical command next to of course not involving oneself in worldly affairs hint hint { Dr. Chuck Baldwin makes much of this in some of his essays their desire to sit and gloat with leading political figures} and not just biblical but God’s very command? James 1:27
Christian Zionism will be outed for what it is.
Problem is, they are the heart and soul of the Republican Party and they aren’t going away anytime soon. They are the reason Trump killed the nuclear deal with Iran and moved the US embassy to Jerusalem. Pastor John Hagee actually told his followers this past spring, “You will soon witness the total destruction of one of the oldest cities in the world… Damascus. God gave Isaiah visions of what was to come… and now… Isaiah 17 has been fulfilled. You are witnessing end time prophecy.” US Christian Zionism is an apocalyptic death cult, Gerry.
God also gave Isaiah visions of the true Messiah Christ Jesus, why don’t the Hagee’s of the world emphasize that instead of chapter 17 which I just finished reading and am scratching my head how anyone can interpret that with the current day and age? You know for anyone to make such a claim one had better be right don’t you think otherwise one is playing a very dangerous game. A very dangerous game indeed!?!?!?!?!!
To make such claims one had better be a Daniel and know God by way of angelic visitations and such.
May God help us all and have mercy.
I think a lot of the Christian Zionists think the the harpazo, the rapture, will whisk them out of the end times before it happens. So for them, the millennial reign of Jesus Christ is worth the all the grief required to get there, and they won’t suffer.
There is a ton of Biblical references to say that WON’T happen, and that the Body of Christ, the church, is going to go through all the pain and all the grief until the 6th seal and 7th trumpet.
If you’re interested may I suggest you read Leviathan’s Ruse by Alexander Lawrence, which sets this out in fantastic detail? I’m re-reading it just now, and think it should be on every pastor’s bookshelf.
Sola Fide
I couldn’t agree more however, I have interpreted the Book of Revelation and have proof of the same.
Hagee and those that follow in his train are going to find themselves in deep trouble.
Cheers
Precisely Tommy
Hence the reason I always referred to this imbecile as MIGA…
MAGA my a%$#e!
Cheers
Col
That Trump was always about MIGA (Make Israel Greater Again) instead of MAGA was evident from the very beginning of his presidency. He took “thirty pieces of silver” from Sheldon Adelson in 2016 and gave his Christian Zionist base everything they prayed for, except WWIII, thankfully. They have a collective hard-on for Armageddon and nothing short of nuclear war will bring their warrior messiah back to Earth to smite the unbelievers, Democrats mostly. May Heaven continue to preserve us all from the wrath of US Christian Zionists and the chosenites.
@Tommy,
“The irony is, US so-called Christian Zionists are totally taken in by the Ashkenazim, both in the USA and Israel.”
I have first hand experience of dealing with these people (Christian Zionists). Most are basically decent Humans at heart (yes a few are highly sociopathic, the “fund raising” Evangelical Pastor types for example, and those baying for the masacre of Muslims to “protect” Israel) but all I know have all been seared by the flames of extremism. This makes them all very dangerous people as they will support any US war that supports Israel and any actions Israel takes in “self defence” – including “one shot two kill” murders and the extra-legal bombing of soverign nations and murder of civillian in the open air prison that is Gaza.
I broke off from many I knew after they fell for the joint CIA and Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Narritive (aka “The PLAN” as in “Q” and “trust the plan”) during the theft of the US elections.
There are even some who still believe that by doing nothing about anything will stil be enough to save them from the coming tribulations and wars, and besides they will be teleported (Raptured) off the planet without suffering because “they support Israel and Gods people”.
I used to ask them that if the Israelis, who are Jews and dont follow Jesus were “Gods people”, then what did that make you as a Christian, who did follow Jesus?
That question would occasionally cause a short circuit, which was interesting (but not fun) to watch.
One might speculate that this tactic of referring to the UCHR will result in the intrepid and brave justices of ECHR to do nothing. And assume that our Russian Brothers expect this.
If so, then the question of why the resort to ECHR is being made.
Well, it’s following the procedures. And when the Court fails to act?
Then,ahemmm, some may say that the Court will have ruined it’s status and exposed itself to be a fraud – thus “authorizing” the remedy…which is the denazification of the territories in question by “other means”.
Somebody said: One might look that the changes in the objective disposition of forces over recent years…by the time the Great Court has made it’s irrelevance plain, the disposition of forces (poverty in Ukie, NATO being less and less significant, Russia being ever more inviting, and incoherent US, and so on) as “Birnam Wood” marches ever closer…to “MacBeth”… The natural path to strategy is indirect…and the move to petition the Court is part of an indirect strategy which will create “authorization” and even enthusiasm between “Mother” and the errant criminals…Ukie will ask for Russia to come.
I used to know several judges…and one said to me that sitting on the bench she realized that her Court had no power. None. It was her bailiff with a gun that wielded Power, she said.
The arrangements of Power determine the timing. The Court matter is simply laying bricks in the foundation of the method to unite the Russian People.
Interestingly perhaps, one might recall Jefferson’s writing> “… a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation….” Might be re-written changing “separation” to “re-union”…and when (if?) The Esteemed Court decides to act “sine die” (not act) in this matter…then next step will be welcome.
That said, perhaps by then the Court will have looked at the “weather Vane”…and surprise us all. Will they issue warrants of arrest? That’s a very long bet.
I think this is an in your face complaint filed WITH the ECHR as well as AGAINST the ECHR.
This court likes to sit around and make “edicts” telling Russia, and other EU states, to do things which violate their own laws and moral codes. It does so in a fake “we are so superior” manor as to make one ill.
Well Russia has now called the bluff of this vassal court and served it with a very real and solid case of documented human rights violations in Ukraine.
This “court” now has a stark choice. It can ignore the obvious rights violations or it can conduct a real investigation and put Ukraine in its place and find for Russia.
It the court ignores this complaint, or plays it down, or drags it out, or blames Russia, it looks like the hypocritical vassal it is and Russia proves to the world
what fools these people are.
All the while Ukraine will be pressuring the court to drop the case and the US will be right behind pulling the strings.
I think there may be something a bit more ominous here as well. This complaint can also serve as an indictment of crimes committed against Russians and others in Ukraine and may, someday, pave the way for, shall we say, much more aggressive action against what is left of the Ukrainian state.
To me, this signals more fully, that Russia has had it with being blamed and pushed around and is about to put an end to all that crap.
Finally, the complaint coincides with the release of new awesome weapons that the entire world has seen and all taken together makes a very strong statement that Russia won’t be messed with any further.
Just one persons opinion.
Maybe they are hoping that the court will explode under the conflicting pressures on it.
Or just that its credibility will be exploded.
I concur, that makes 2!
Brilliant article, on point…
It’s hard for me to see how Russia can have any standing to bring an action against Ukraine before the ECHR even if its assertions are factual. The events in question did not take place in Russia. One might say that Crimea is a part of Russia, and I suppose that would work if the EU recognized that, but it does not. It might have made more sense for the victims to bring the action or for Russia to bring an action before the International Court of Justice but then, as someone else has pointed out, this is best seen as a political gesture on Russia’s part.
ECHR has refused to impose interim measures as requested by Russia… apparently EU core human rights are not sufficiently at risk nor being sufficiently affected.
“We expect the ECHR to take an impartial and non-politicised attitude towards the Russian case”
Fat chance.
The whole of Western culture rests on foundations built by age-old looting all over the globe. Is this bloody robbery a consequence of Western self-recognition of supreme evolutionary reach and thus a well-deserved right to do what it does today? Or simply a primitive consciousness that encourages cruel bloody plunder has led to most Western nations being considered ubermensch nations. Because of its “positive” results, of course. Consequently, the judiciary is tied to the spirit of a nation or a group of nations that share the same values. There are nations in Europe, including Croatia, in which there are a large number of people (let’s call them that) who believe that natural evolution in their case is over and that they are perfect and that it should be preserved at all costs. Much like the Jews. And others who place a lot of hope in their racial affiliation. The Russians do not belong to that Western world and the laws that should universally apply to them do not apply to them.
“ECHR rejects Russian request to impose interim measures against Kiev after Moscow complains about Crimea water & discrimination”
RT
Fascism has always existed in Europe. That is normal for Europe.
No wonder.
I have never met one single Croat who thinks like that about that of evolution
If you tell them this the most of them would not have any idea about what you are you talking about.
Dear Saker,
It would be great if you are able to (or host a guest writer knowledgeable in international law who can) explain to us laypersons what RF’s further options are.
Many are disappointed with what appears to be a lame legalistic attempt and some are getting irate at how these EU Nazi-loving hypocrites are still being called ‘partners’, but I smell a strategy though I can’t see it yet.
Is it the ICJ next? Or skip that and go straight to a peacekeeping mission on the back of an interpretation of a UN charter?

I am not a lawyer, but I throw in my 2 cents anyways. :)
My lawyer friends agree with my point that international law is based on jurisprudence (i.e. precedent-based,) not codified. Since the Western powers have already (ab)used the “right to protect” principle for its intervention in Libya, for example, Russia could claim “right to protect” for any military strike against Ukrainian military.
That said, I do not believe for one second the Kremlin was naive so naive to believe the ECHR was going to hear the case; just look how fast they said no, courts NEVER work that fast! More likely the Kremlin wanted to:
*Give the Europeans one last chance to save their credibility
*Prove to the rest of the world that Moscow follows international law
*Allow the Europeans themselves to discredit themselves
Long-term this helps lay the foundation for institutions to be built outside the physical control of European countries. How can anyone trust Western claims of “impartial judiciary” after this fraudulent ruling?
Not to disagree, in fact to buttress, see> Ali Kahn at Washburn Law School, who wrote along these lines after bush 41..”George W Bush as the Augustinian Sovereign” the thesis was that the Westphalian System had, with the Iraq 2.0 and afnamistan affairs, ended. This is to say that the contractual nature of States’ relations ended, that international law was based on Contracts. Of course there are statutes too, and the USC which makes Treaty Law US Law, not that this has been widely observed.
As the Russians have pointed out, the empire is not capable of contract. Rigorously, that seems to say that the empire is not a State.
Seriously, that’s an idea that call out for discovery.
>Rules based international order .
Who’s rules?
International?
Order!
– Rules from the mouth of Bamboozler in Chief,Manchurian Candidate and professional liar.
– International is US+Israel+Tiny Britain and some Coconut Brigade .
– Order is just this World of Reversed Reality where everything is fake
@White Whale
‘Rules’ based instead of ‘Law’ because defining the first is the privilege of the victor, while the second is rooted in acknowledged universal philosophical principles (eg. Plato) which are unmovable by the sword, because the law ulitmately is rooted in God^s providence.
So for the ‘western’ world the ‘rules’ are mainly manufactured in Washington and London – those who rule it – they are NOT published but rather decreed and proclaimed. The ‘West’ prefers to rule by force and subjugation instead of ruling by logical conviction – it’s a game of the few against the many.
In this type of empire everything of importance is scarce, only the power-center can be seen as a whole ordained with everything needed, but even there the fighting is always to maintain or expand at the expense of the lower levels.
It’s like a huge pile of skulls and bones, death, destruction and despair the whole pyramide is resting on, ever growing to the point where the weight of the whole is such that no amount can uphold it further, resulting in an implosion process.
Every escalation in the sense of making another transgression of eternal Law, in order to maintain or stabilize the pyramid’s top, invariably degenerates the whole through from top to bottom – thus in the terminal state every action becomes a lie against even the most base human principles – stupefying, stupendous, stupidity (as Derrida termed it). the human part converts fully to it’s beasty side – not becoming animal (which it cannot) but rather a monster which will be eradicated with absolute certainty by God’s providence.
We do not have a climate change problem, but rather one of ‘change into bestiality’ and it’s absolute stupidity (as seen from God’s providence).
Just laying out the groundwork for war crimes trials (that won’t be held in the E.U). The next five years will be oh-so-interesting if we all survive to see it….
America’s fascist little satellite states Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania are abusing human rights since the beginning of the 1990ies. Neither the international nor the European courts have done anything about it.
Remember: de jure a country has to sign the agreement about the protections of (linguistic, ethnic) minorities, if they want to join the European Union. Guess what: the baltic states haven’t.
Long story short: the biased western courts have done nothing about the baltics so they won’t move a finger to help the minorities in the Ukraine. Its time for Russia, Romania and Hungary to take actions against Kiev.
@Lenard
Of course the matter itself is dead serious but in the case of the Balts and the Ukros their ”states” are in their final death throes — literally — as per their own awful demographics. Russophobia is great fun, sure, but it doesn’t put people or food — industrial development even less — upon the table.
Now, the heroic Balts were ecstatic as they put themselves at the mercy of Swedish banking which showered them in public and private debt just like German and French banks were doing in Greece. Deindustrialization, abject misery, and depopulation ensued. As regards the Ukros, they had their ”great chance” 8 years ago, especially right after the lovely Euromaidan, but they failed abysmally where it really mattered. Today, the Ukronazis are the most worthless Western bootlickers on the planet, and there is no chance in Hell that they will prevail against Russia under Putin. The abomi-Nation masquerading as ”Ukraine” might even be gone sooner than the Baltic gadflies. Russia will handsomely take them when the tender, loving care of the West and its ”Human Rights” Liberal cultists have destroyed them utterly.
PS. I may sound harsh against the victimized Balts. So let it be known that the greed and malevolent incompetence of Sweden’s banking mafia and its solid, dependable lackey politicians almost achieved Sweden going bankrupt too along with the Balts. That would have been a splendid piece of entertainment! /DS.
The baltics have huge demographic problems. Those who have good academic or craftsmanship skills have long fled those countries for better jobs. Then others followed, who are working now for low salaries as lorry drivers, cleaners, removal firms etc. Fertility rate is low and the society grows older and older. The Russian minorities are bullied away from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and those countries face depopolation problems. Russia and Belarus have reacted wisely; they will avoid using those harbours and rely mainly onto Russian harbours now. The small remains of the industry will crushed by western european companies in no time.
I’m not sure, but those countries won’t be able to feed themselves just by selling cheap alcohol to Skandinavian tourists. The Baltics are killing themselves with their Russophobia and seem even be happy with it. Still wating for Bezos, Soros, Zuckerberg and friends to buy up some semi-abandoned baltic towns.
‘We expect the ECHR to take an impartial and non-politicised attitude towards the Russian case, and the Court to make a thorough examination of the materials and evidence presented.’
The definition of naiveity.
The Russian Federation is basically saying to the EU: ‘Show us that your legal system is worth a Euro or have the whole world know otherwise’.
Part of this is strategic brinkmanship. The nations of the world are having to decide whether they are on the side of the Shanghai Cooperation bloc or the NATO one.
This court case is partly about global PR, telling the world to look at the EU’s legal system and whether it is fit for purpose.
In my opinion, the complaint of Russia to the ECHR (against Ukraine) is a pretty wise move, with deep political significance, emitting signal to various directions. That is to say, nevertheless it is aimed at the Court, its purpose is not only legal.
One of basic questions about is: why this step now, not one year or two ago? Partial explanation of Foreign Ministry “This step is long overdue. The current situation in Ukraine leaves Russia no choice but to involve international courts” gives only a part of the answer.
The given article link in the comment of Ivan Pullatitsky (on July 22, 2021 • at 7:32 pm EST/EDT – see /the-russian-federation-has-filed-an-interstate-complaint-against-ukraine-with-the-european-court-of-human-rights/), provides some additions to the answer.
In short, the intention might be: let the Ukies overgame and produce a heap of facts about repressive (purely fascist) regime in Ukraine. Such tactics is a matter of patience, with acceptable casualties and suffering of Russian population (evidently less than they would be in a war).
Also, a determinant impetus could be the law “On Indigenous Peoples of Ukraine” (adopted in The Verkhovna Rada on 01.07.2021.) which is a “legal” cleansing and persecution beginning of the Russians in Ukraine. (Only konzlagere lack. )
Just to give a bitter parallel with the beginning of civil war in Croatia at early 1990s. The status of the Serbs in Croatia as a constitutional nation was cancelled in the new Constitution of freshly and partly recognised Croatia. On the memory of monstrous genocide in konzlager Jasenovac (where hundreds of thousands Serbs were brutally and monstrously killed during 1941-45 – see e.g. Gideon Greif: Jasenovac – Auschwitz of the Balkans – Ustasha empire of cruelty, 2018), Serbs responded by uprising.
Of course, the (geo)political context then and now is, happily, not the same, so the parallel ends here.
On the other hand, the complaint cannot be viewed apart from Mr. Putin’s article for Die Zeit, timed for the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, with conciliatory intonation. Then comes his article ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“ (and its various and numerous echoes and interpretations).
By the complaint itself, the ECHR is stuck into dichotomy: the Kremlin recognises its legitimacy and raises its (remnants of) credibility, which is in the same time a trap in the case of complaint refusal, or delay. The complaint’s factography is tremendous – hard to keep eyes closed.
The Kremlin is not naive at all, rather very skilful.
By respecting one of the highest-level EU institutions the Kremlin respects the EU iotself, sending a signal that it is more natural to solve disputes through the EU court (meaning that “we feel that we belong to this legislative system, we are (still) oriented to Europe, despite sanctions, hard words, Skripal, Navalny etc.”). Also, “the case of Russian Army concentration at the border of Ukraine, one month ago, is an exception (we were challenged), it is not our style, we prefer the Court, what is more, the European court”.
In the meanwhile, the North Stream 2 is completed (although much technical and legal work has to be done prior its full exploitation; but infrastructure is on). “With that ace in our hands” (goes on the interpretation) “we do not become a bully (as D.C. regularly does), but we respect the EU integrity, sometimes more than certain EU members. We are committed to respect the law”. “Besides, now, with energy, you can be more yourself. Remind the article in Die Zeit”.
China is gradually becoming a new gravitational centre of the Earth. The transport corridors (railway, navigation, pipelines) go over Russia (the Northeast Passage, with a numerous fleet of Russian icebreakers).
“In our hourglass the whole sand is in the upper half. Your upper half is nearly empty“.
Thank you for that thoughtful analysis! The evidences of human rights abuses in Ukraine have become tremendously evident, that no one sane could ignore them. But please remember that the ECHR is extremely biased against Russia, just like its sibling court in The Hague. The international criminal court managed to make the case of the MH-17 aeroplane, which was shot because Kiev didn’t warn them to fly over the war zone (plus it was a false flag action; Ukropnazis shot the plane) to look like if though Putin himself was to blame for it. Let’s see if its European counterpart can in a more professional way with those issues.
I would love to see Budapest and Bucharest (and Kishinev) stepping in for help, as their citizens are discriminated too.
Quite right.
I read a cute saying: When someone utters “the Hague” it echoes “the US”.
Can we assume that Europe is possessed (still unknown percentage)? But it can’t be considered as abolition, she is not that naive.
Unusual style admixture, if I may say Mr S-RB, absorbs attention anyway. Ukraine is incredibly corrupt, even many of the residents have no idea, and the coming shock hidden in their ignorance will be frightful. Ignorance is only bliss for so long…
Ukraine has persistently tried to block Russia at PACE….the directed action by Russia could also have a resulting effect on Ukraine membership???????
Brother Karl has a rational comment in re the matter.
“….Protect (R2P) doctrine and to take whatever measures it deems appropriate to resolve the dire human rights situation its nationals face within Ukraine. It’s perfectly clear to me and many others who the criminals …”
vk account. https://vk.com/id580896205
FWIW I too rather expect that the resort to Court was largely proforma as well as making a laughing stock of veesternvaluez . Proforma prerequsite to a more material and practical method. First one call the cops. then, when cops refuse, well…
Brother Karl is smart fella.

Zakharova….Duma….comedy Ukraine….
Long past due! Indeed!! When Biden annointed (again) F EU VN, Russia knew … the long in tooth agenda full throttle. “Mega Group” is not about an enlightenment. Maybe (I am not holding my breath) Russia can enlighten earth destiny.
Appealing to the European Court of Human Rights is not appealing–unless Russia is merely trying to troll this court as a political fraud, which it is.
Just like other Orwellian propaganda slogans like “Democracy” and “Freedom,” human rights is also an Orwellian slogan which Europe–and especially the Americans–deploy as a propaganda weapon against any nation that refuses to assimilate into the Americans’ Rules-Based International Dictatorship … I mean Order.
The problem with Russia is that it is always desperate to be given a seat at the table of the European-American Imperialist Club of Nations.
What the Russians apparently still haven’t figured out yet is this: Russia will be given a seat at the Euro-American Imperialist table … as the main course to be devoured!
