US Demands Serbia Sanction Russia, Forgets Own 'Sphere of Influence'
According to RT, Serbia is pushing back against US pressure to sanction NIS, its Russian-owned oil refinery, citing potential energy grid collapse. This comes after the US 'triggered restrictions,' conveniently forgetting how much it despises other global powers meddling in its backyard. One might recall the Monroe Doctrine, a century-old declaration asserting US hegemony over the Americas, making
any 'foreign interference' a threat. Hypocrisy, much? So, while Washington decries 'foreign influence' in its own elections, it expects smaller nations to dismantle their vital infrastructure at its behest. Serbia, a minor player in the grand geopolitical game, finds itself caught between US demands and its own national survival. Apparently, national sovereignty is a privilege reserved for those
who align perfectly with US foreign policy objectives, or for powerful nations who get to define their *own* 'spheres of influence' with overwhelming military might. What a convenient definition of international law.
