Russian Federation Obligations in the Middle East
"If Russia is not obligated to use its military to counter international bullies, it certainly has an obligation to use nonviolent and diplomatic means towards this end.
First, Russia must insist on a United Nations International Independent Investigation of 9/11 along the lines of the Hariri investigation ordered by the Security Council. Americans have not been told the truth about 9/11 and many therefore do not understand why the resultant invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were unjustified and illegal.
Second, Russia must initiate and direct a Green Light Restitution Fund whereby all international transactions involving the US dollar are subject to a tariff, the proceeds of which will go directly to the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine for their relief and for rebuilding.
