Irenic Russia

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov looks on, next to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as they wait for the US-Russia summit at the Villa La Grange, in Geneva on June 16, 2021.

What's that you ask in your naive incredulity...

How low can any human agency descend in 

besmirching themselves with sanctimony of an 

absent conscience? Well then, consider the source.

That of an arrogant irredentist state historically 

imposing itself on its neighbours in a hegemonic 

parody of leadership, brazenly invading another 

with transparent triumphalism claiming intention 

to liberate it from the talons of fascism. Then its 

indignation at the invaded state's courage in defiance 

and self defence instead of cringingly submitting 

to the inevitable. And in its defensive reaction the

attacked state mounts a successful counter-offensive 

trading lives lost for lives taken. And for this infraction 

of expectations the snarling transgressor turns to 

the world body of peaceful coexistence with intention

of charging its uncompliant victim with war crimes.
