Washington and NATO conduct "contradict the logic of modern development...." Expansion assures confrontation. Global security and stability are undermined.

"Regrettably," America and other Western nations remain dismissive of Russia's concerns. Aggressive wars masquerade as liberating ones. They undermine state sovereignty. Doing so creates "a moral and legal void..."

The Security Council and other UN bodies long ago breached their mandates. Nations usurp their obligations with impunity. Force is lawlessly used against sovereign states. America and NATO consistently undermine global peace.

States are victimized by "humanitarian" intervention and "missile-and-bomb democracy...."

Washington and key NATO partners "developed a peculiar interpretation of security that is different from ours."

America is "obsessed" with using force to "becom(e) absolutely invulnerable." The more it tries, the greater the destabilizing consequences.

Absolute invulnerability for one nation assures none "for all others" outside its aggressive alliance. Middle East and other uprisings replaced one "dominant force with another even more aggressive." It's also hostile to popular needs.

Destroying nations to save them is cover for global dominance. Russia stands fundamentally opposed. "No one should be allowed to employ the Libyan scenario in Syria."
