Mr. David Pratt: In terms of the logic of your argument, if the U.S. has the right to protect itself against a terrorist attack, then if a terrorist attack comes in the form of a cruise missile launched from a tramp steamer or biological weapons that are dumped into a water supply, by the same logic the U.S. has the right to protect itself from a ballistic missile attack from a rogue state.

7. Notes with concern that Russia has bolstered its air and naval defences in the Black Sea Basin considerably, deploying new naval defence (anti-ship) missiles (with a range of 600 km, able to reach the Bosphorus) and ensuring that Russian fighter planes control about three quarters of the Black Sea Basin airspace (by practically tripling the number of airports in Crimea); notes, in this regard, that Russia has bolstered its capa ...[+++]bilities in both strategic and tactical terms: strategically, long-range bombers, capable of carrying cruise missiles, and reconnaissance aviation operating close to the western shores of the Black Sea, have the potential to penetrate deep into Central Europe; tactically, two naval infantry brigades – potentially supported by Mistral-type helicopter carriers – pose a significant potential landing threat; welcomes France's decision to reconsider the delivery of the Mistral amphibious assault ships to Russia and salutes France's negotiations to unequivocally and finally cancel this deal;

A. whereas on 7 July 2014 Israel launched a military aggression against Gaza called ‘Protective Edge’; whereas to this day more than 180 Palestinians, among them at least 30 children, have been killed (according to UN estimates, 77 % of those killed were civilians) and more than 1 250 injured; whereas 17 000 people have sought refuge in UNRWA facilities following exodus from Beit Lahia and Attara after Israel warned civilians to ...[+++]evacuate northern Gaza ahead of a large-scale bombing campaign; whereas over 1 300 buildings, including houses, hospitals and schools, were hit by Israeli missiles and bombs launched from both the air and the sea; whereas drones have been used in these military operations;
