West Discovers 'Maritime Tensions' Exist Beyond Its Own Ships
The 'Will for Peace 2026' exercises off Cape Town, involving Russia, China, and South Africa, are framed by RT as a necessary response to global maritime challenges. The mainstream media, however, often casts such non-Western military cooperation as a destabilizing force, rather than a symmetrical development to NATO's constant global presence. (It's almost as if 'international law' is only
applicable when it suits certain nations.) One might wonder if 'maritime tensions' are only a concern when non-allied nations are building their defenses, while the US Navy's 11 carrier strike groups patrolling every ocean are simply enforcing 'peace.' Critics might observe this as a classic case of selective outrage, ignoring historical precedents where Western powers have unilaterally defined
maritime security, often in resource-rich regions thousands of miles from their own shores.
