2022-05-22 01:48:28 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Australia’s and other Western countries’ response to foreign policy actions by the Solomon Islands

We have noticed a sharp reaction, bordering on hysterics, by Australia’s ruling circles to the signing of a security cooperation agreement between the Solomon Islands and the PRC.

We should note on our part that the Australian authorities invariably deny Russia’s concerns over NATO’s unrestrained eastward expansion and military buildup on Russia’s borders.

Yet they categorically condemned the small island nation 1,500 kilometres off the Australian coast when it dared to challenge Canberra’s monopoly, appropriated for no reason, on the provision of security in the South Pacific subregion.

All of this highlights once again the double standards of Australia’s foreign policy and the fact that Australian politicians have a deep-rooted disdainful neo-colonial perception of the small nations of Oceania. Open / Comment

The Americans keep saying that Russia could resort to using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. In doing this, they are pursuing several goals, and one of them is obvious: to intimidate their own people. Not only has Russia never threatened anyone with nuclear weapons, but, on the contrary, has been warning all parties all along against making irresponsible steps of this kind. However, this does not sit well with Washington.

This left the US thinking: what can it do?

They pretended several times that it was Sergey Lavrov who threatened that Russia would use WMDs. To no avail. We immediately debunked these fake news.

When Plan A fails, there is always a Plan B, quite similar to Plan A, but with a twist.

Recently, three US titles released articles discussing the question of how, when and why the Russians will drop the bomb, in fact reporting on the Russians’ thought instead of looking at what they are saying.
