Spring fails in Ukrainian plunderland By Pepe Escobar

Asia Times Online :: Central Asian News and current affairs, Russia, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan:

"So the Empire struck back by giving "a little help" to regime change in the Ukraine. And Moscow counter-punched by taking control of Crimea in less than a day without firing a shot - with or without crack Spetsnaz brigades (UK-based think tanks say they are; Putin says they are not).

Putin's assessment of what happened in Ukraine is factually correct; "an anti-constitutional takeover and armed seizure of power". It's open to endless, mostly nasty debate whether the Kremlin overreacted or not. Considering the record of outright demonization of both Russia and Putin going on for years - and now reaching fever pitch - the Kremlin's swift reaction was quite measured. "

  1. The U.S. will do any and everything to keep their status as the global reserve currency. Countries are invaded. People are slaughtered all in the name of "democracy" and "national interests".
