Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Ukraine – Truce or Trojan Horse: Retreat, Re-Armament and Relaunch

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Ukraine – Truce or Trojan Horse: Retreat, Re-Armament and Relaunch

Click here to access article by James Petras from his blog.

Petras provides an excellent summary of events leading to the Ukraine crisis to counter the lies spread in the Empire's media. He then concludes the essay by citing the real reason behind the Empire's actions in Ukraine.

An independent Russia is the real target and the annexation of the Ukraine is a mere stepping stone on the way to Moscow. Under this strategic (and insane) vision, the US and EU will never accept a neutral (NATO-free), independent, democratic Ukraine.
