Does anyone know where I can find the current contracts Maersk has? I cannot find it on their website.

After the defeat of the CCCP, nearly all of the countries on the Western border regions of the Russian Federation were taken over by neoliberal governments installed and propped up by the USA, anti-Russian factions and groups were massively funded, and populations were immersed in Western propaganda in academia and media, turning most of these places into enemies of the Russian Federation.

Modern Russia has been at war 5 times:

​

• Afghanistan — invited by Afghan socialist government to fight against CIA funded fundamentalist jihadism.
• Chechnya — to put down CIA funded violent separatism. After liberation, and having realised that they were used by the West, Chechens are today die hard supporters of Russia.
• Georgia — to calm the instability caused by the Western installed anti-Russian government and aid the breakaway republics.
• Crimea — to liberate this region from a Western backed oppressive state — there was ZERO protest from the people when Crimea rejoined the RF.
• The military operation in Ukraine against the fascist coup government of Kiev today is the same: it is a defensive war opposed to overwhelming and ceaseless imperialist threats and aggression against Russian national security (a separate essay detailing this coming soon and will be linked here).

Bottom line is this: These are all regions on the borders of Russia — destabilised by Western created and fueled terrorism, subjected to Washington orchestrated colour revolutions, regime changes, and coup d’etats which installed governments hostile to Russia, militarised with the building of dozens of USAmerican military bases, their anti-communist and fascist armies funded and trained by NATO forces, prepared by the imperialists to launch future attacks against Russia.

These were/are all wars of defence and protection on Russia’s doorstep, and can not be compared to the USAmerican wars very far from its soil, of aggression and imperialist domination on the other side of the globe.

Any child can understand that the side which encircles the other with military bases is the aggressive one, and that the other is in a defensive position.

Russia sends nuclear-capable bombers to Venezuela – DW – 12/12/2018

Imperialism in practice without exception involves the denial of sovereignty of victim countries, the suppression of its self determination, and domination of its state and economy, through manipulation, pressure, assassination, coup d’état, colour revolutions, regime change operations, etc., in order to freely exploit, extract, and reap super profits.

The Bolshevik revolution ended and overturned Tsarist imperialism which brutally exploited ethnic minorities, as the USSR gave statehood and sovereignty to all of the regions on its borders, each lead by politicians of the local ethnicity and culture, elected by local populations — not appointed by Moscow (like all leaders of European colonies were appointed by London, Paris, etc.).

We can debate about the motives, but regardless of motivation, the concrete actions speak loud and clear: The Russian dedication to anti-imperialism has not changed since the fall of the USSR.

The current administration has provided crucial economic and military assistance to very many socialist countries and countries victim to imperialist sanctions and aggression: Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Syria, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Ethiopia, Somalia, etc., etc.

The RF sent fighter jets when Venezuela was under threat of US invasion, and provided massive economic help when all these countries were being strangled by sanctions. Many of them would not be sovereign today, and would be ruled by Washington puppets, or worse, decimated by US/NATO bombs, if not for Russia’s help.

Putin’s Russia is today playing a central role in the assistance of West African liberation from centuries of French rule, by supporting independence forces not only with funding and arms, but Russian boots on the ground.

Russia has been, and is today, resolutely anti-imperialist and a trusted friend of the Global South.

Could someone help me find the quote or saying. I remember it basically saying that once we kicked out the colonists? or foreign business? they came back as 'investors'. Or maybe foreign land owners

I don't remember exactly what but I really liked what they we're getting at with that.
