So much for those “admirable” Scandinavians. It’s all over, folks. The American poison has taken.
They stressed the importance of upholding international law, breaching it in partnership with America. They condemned nonexistent Russian “aggression” and attempts to destabilize Ukraine – ignoring Moscow’s leading peacemaking role. They shamelessly called Crimeans’ self-determination right to rejoin Russia an “illegal occupation and attempted annexation.”
…
They reaffirmed support for Ukraine’s US-installed, Nazi-infested putschist regime. They back maintaining illegal sanctions on Russia, blaming it irresponsibly for US/Ukrainian efforts to undermine Minsk conflict resolution principles.
Here’s how a typical mainstream newspaper—The Washington Examiner—reported the event under the headline, Nordic leaders reaffirm support for Ukraine, fret about Russian aggression, providing little or no true historical context. Note that, as usual, “Russian aggression” is taken for granted, an immutable truth that requires no proof.
They expressed concern for “Russia’s growing military presence” on its own territory – ignoring provocative US-led NATO’s buildup on its borders, its activated missile shield in Romania, intended solely for offense, targeting Russia, breaching the 1987 INF Treaty.
They hyped nonexistent threats instead of debunking them. They pledged subservience to Washington instead of asserting their sovereign independence.
They called terrorism and violent extremism major challenges, while failing to explain they’re US creations. They endorsed Middle East peace and stability while continuing support for endless US wars of aggression.
Stressing a “commitment to freedom, democracy, universal human rights and peace,” their policies flout them.
