Ironic, coming from an American.
US warns Solomon Islands over China pact; will fast track new embassy
American officials told Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare the security pact between Solomon Islands and China has security risks for the region.www.smh.com.au
Washington: The US will expedite the opening of an embassy in the Solomon Islands and has warned the Pacific nation that it will “respond accordingly” if steps are taken allowing China to establish a military base there.
Yes.
And its more than that. Cuba was also an 'independent' country but was denied the right to host the Soviet missiles. Iraq was also an 'independent' country but was invaded without the UNSC authorization in 2003. And I am sure there are more such examples.
Russia is simply duplicating the hegemonistic policies of America--or America had duplicated some hegemonistic policies of some other empire before.
Those living in the glass house should not... But then some here think that if a civilization is 'democratic' and 'free' that gives it a right for 'exceptionalism'. Such hypocritical thoughts are abundant in this thread.
