U.S. Snarls Warning At Russia Over Aid Convoy to Besieged Ukrainians

For several months now, the Western-installed and backed regime in Kiev, headed, appropriately, by a billionaire, has been waging war on the eastern part of the Ukraine. A hospital has been bombed, twice, killing at least one patient. About 1,000 civilians have been killed by artillery shelling and aerial bombardment by the Kiev regime. (All Western outrage has been reserved for the accidental downing of a Malaysian jetliner by the eastern resisters, a plane flying over a known war zone where it had no business being.)

Homes, apartment complexes, and other civilian targets have been relentlessly hit in Kiev's bombardment of the people it claims as subjects in the east. Hundreds of thousands have become refugees.

To avert a humanitarian catastrophe, Moscow is sending a convoy of trucks with relief supplies to the city of Luhansk, where water and electricity have been cut off for days. (The Red Cross hasn't been able to get its act together to help so far.) Predictably, the U.S. bloc sees this as a cover for sneaking in military supplies, and is growling warnings at the Kremlin. But "the West" hasn't offered any help of its own to the besieged people of eastern Ukraine, nor has it lifted a finger to control its new client regime's war crimes, ignoring entreaties by Russian officials to rein in the Kiev regime. One-sided as always, the U.S. media ignores these calls and only reports attacks on Russia by Western government officials. Typical is NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a barking Danish lapdog of U.S. imperialism who is reliably reactionary and militaristic in all matters. This creep sees the relief convoy as a mere cover for a Russian invasion."We see the Russians developing the narrative and the pretext for such an operation under the guise of a humanitarian operation, and we see a military build-up that could be used to conduct such illegal military operations in Ukraine."

Yeah, unlike the "legal" U.S. invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama, Haiti, Grenada, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon, Cuba, Mexico, even Canada (1812). This is only a very partial llst.

If "humanitarian intervention" is ok for you guys, Foghorn, how come it's "illegal" if Russia were to do it?

And Russia would actually have two compelling reasons. Ukraine is on their border and is a key strategic interest, and ethnic Russians there obviously need protecting from the quasi-fascist U.S.-installed regime in Kiev that is killing noncombatants and trampling the rights of Russian-speakers.

But Russia has no interests that the U.S. and its lackeys are bound to respect. Just as a black man in America has no rights a white man is bound to respect. I guess that makes Russia a Nigger among Nations.
