Re: Provocation

"Nobody except Russia..." well actually that is wrong see voting results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_68/262#Voting

"As usual, this is posturing for internal consumption in Russia." No, the Brits knew exactly what they were doing by sailing that route, it was UK provocation, with at least two embedded journalists on board to "witness" this, from a boat where a deal between the UK and Kiev had just been signed, and on the 80th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa - (Nazi invasion).

Might be worth enlightening yourself - try here: https://translogistics.co.uk/2021/06/british-warships-should-not-be-goading-a-nuclear-armed-state-in-the-black-sea/ for a business (not political) view.
