After ranting about protecting the Russian facilities in NATO territory Putin has attacked two commercial ships, sinking one off Bulgaria (click here).
This open aggression against non-military targets is for the sole purpose of threatening war with NATO. Bulgaria needs protection and the USA must provide significant protection in the Black Sea.
Kaliningrad Oblast isn’t even close to Bulgaria’s sovereign borders. This is an outrage. Russia has to answer for the sinking of a civilian ship which is highly illegal to international maritime law. There are currently 12 people missing and feared dead.
