Russia accuses West of warship provocation

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev accused the West on Saturday of acting provocatively in and around the Black Sea, where the United States is using warships to deliver humanitarian aid to Georgia.

“I wonder how they would feel if we now dispatched humanitarian assistance to the Caribbean, suffering from a hurricane, using our navy,” Medvedev said, adding that a whole U.S. fleet had been dispatched to deliver the aid.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The US and NATO may find this provocation costing them dearly, particularly as it affects military operations in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has just announced it's cutting off supply lines to Afghanistan in retaliation for civilian deaths caused by US raids into Pakistan.

This makes the US and NATO even more critically reliant upon Russia than ever before to ferry non-combat goods into Afghanistan.
