RT or Russia Today has some interesting quotes from the Russian Ambassador to NATO.
"If the US and Britain decide to intervene, that will be a gross violation of all international laws. This can be sanctioned only by the UN," Rogozin said.
Rogozin is the Russian Ambassador to the NATO military axis/alliance. He was speaking in the context of claiming that NATO, as a military alliance, didn't intend to "intervene" but was cautioning against military attacks by US/UK.
Rogozin - NATO does not plan intervention (yet)
More from Rogozin: "Some European countries within the block are categorically against any military action without an agreement from the UN Security Council."
RT also notes the activities of the US military and US and UK politicians in their war rhetoric.
The US Sixth Fleet has begun repositioning its ships in the Mediterranean, triggering speculation of a NATO invasion of Libya.It comes as Libya's long-time leader Colonel Gaddafi remains besieged in the capital Tripoli, with opposition forces nearby.
After the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that "nothing is off the table" when it came to Libya, the American Navy started to take tactical positions off the coast of that North African country. At this point, the possibility of any of the major forces in the region, like US military, NATO troops or even UN peacekeepers, setting their feet on Libyan shores should not be ruled out.
This was mirrored by comments of British Prime Minister David Cameron who has said that he would not exclude the use of the military there, and that there is a possibility that Britain could provide arms to the opposition forces.
Wait! There's more.
Western politicians are also playing a "weapons of mass destruction" card, saying the Libyan regime might have stockpiles of chemical weapons, despite the fact that Libya officially refused to continue the development of chemical weapons and signed international treaties accordingly.
Claims of weapons of mass destruction followed by an invasion. hmm. Where have I seen this before?
