Russia calling urgent UN Security Council meeting over clash with Ukrainian ships in Azov sea

Moscow is calling an emergency UN Security Council meeting following the incident near Crimea that saw the Russian military detain Ukrainian warships for breaking into its territorial waters in violation of the UN convention.

Russia has called for a meeting “in connection to the dangerous developments in the Azov sea and subsequent events,” Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative at the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, told media late on Sunday.

Shouldn’t Ukraine be the one to demand that?

The Chicoms are watching. I have no doubt POTUS will not stand for Putin blockading the Azov Sea and shooting up Ukrainian Navy boats.

The Ukrainians asked for it - current leader of Ukraine manufactured this in order to postpone elections which he will lose.

Who cares is the real question.
I don’t.
That is a Russia Ukraine thing, not a U.S. thing.
Until the U.S. starts to learn to keep to themselves these things will cost us blood and treasure.

/beware of foreign entanglements.

This shit aint out problem, just like Syria isn’t.

Send Bill Kristol and his “war machine” to straighten out the Russians...or better yet...Macron and his European army.

The Chocolate King must be saved!

This has been ominous ever since Porkychanker "promised" to blow up the new bridge across the strait.

Why the Hell wouldn't Russia be very touchy about Ukraine ships moving through Russia's national waters around Crimea or around the bridge?

The numbskulls like Bolton should have told Porky to retract that "promise" even if they want to keep him in power in Ukraine. Since we didn't say squat, we shouldn't be surprised at the course of events since then.

The same Deep State scum fighting every effort Trump makes in the US are trying to tie him to a mess they're working hard to create in Ukraine.

If they succeed, We The People lose.

Ha ha. The European Army will save the day. Maybe send Joe Biden’s son to lead the charge.

European Army: The three operational German tanks, plus whatever the French can scrounge up.

Would be interesting to see USN vessels conducting FONOPS through the region. The question is whether it would make sense to undermine the image the Russians have carefully cultivated, of being lunatic MAD enthusiasts over territorial issues, to keep the Chinese out of the part of Russia east of the Urals. Because Uncle Sam would obviously make mincemeat out of Russian conventional forces, whereas Putin can’t actually use the nukes he keeps on boasting about without killing almost everyone he knows and loves, thereby consigning himself to being the least competent ruler in Russian history as opposed to being a hero on the scale of Ivan the Terrible and Stalin.

So the Paulistas interrupt their bong sessions to cheer for the foreign friends of their hippie predecessors.

Lavrov this week at International Gathering......

.....”Everyone understands that any steps taken by Pres. Donald Trump, regarding setting up stable sound channels of cooperation with Moscow over today’s most severe problems are ‘blocked’ by those who want to continue escalating the destructive approach to the relationship of our country set by the previous White House administration.”....
