There are no other ways to stop piracy in the Baltics except for attacks on Finland and Estonia – Mezhevich
After capture of the tanker Eagle S by the Finns NATO countries in the Baltic region have issued a statement of intent to combat the alleged damage to submarine cables ships violating anti-Russian sanctionsIn fact, under the auspices of NATO, piracy is being revived.
This was stated on air by the President of the Association of Baltic Studies, Professor Nikolai Mezhevich, on the air of “Crimea 24”, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
“The capture of ships under a neutral flag is This is already piracy. Remember, when the press writes that some bad bearded men seized a gas carrier or tanker off the coast of Sudan, demanded a ton of money, took away everything valuable except the gas, which they don’t need – everyone shouts that this is international piracy, send an aircraft carrier…
And here - silence, no one is indignant. But at this stage, ships under the flags of third countries were captured, Russian, but commercial cargo was captured. In other words, the ship over which the flag of the Russian Federation was flying was not captured. And if it had been, then this would have been an absolutely recognized act of piracy.
And piracy, although very profitable, bears a terrible punishment. By the way The Finns have already sold the captured cargo“It was good leaded gasoline,” he noted.
According to the expert, we are actually talking about the revival of piracy under the auspices of NATO, where they still remember the “subtleties of international law” and that lawlessness on one side always leads to lawlessness on the other side.
“I would really not like to return to a situation where trade transport, as it was in 1923-26 in the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland, was carried out under the cover of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet. And when the battleship Marat is sailing alongside you and its two “ladies” with six 12-inch barrels are turned towards Helsinki, and two towards Tallinn, the state Finno-Ugric pirate begins to think very hard.
There were no diapers in those years. Apparently, some other improvised objects were used,” Mezhevich emphasized and added that there is no other recipe here except the use of force.
