Excellent. A timely break from battleground minutiae. Archived Message Posted by Der on February 25, 2023, 10:02 am, in reply to "‘Now or Never’: The Immediate Origins of Putin’s Preventative War on Ukraine" Though he omits Ed Herman's "The Ukraine Crisis and the Propaganda System in Overdrive" Written with David Peterson. Long essay in book "Flashpoint Ukraine - How the US Drive for Hegemony Risks World War III" (edited by Stephen Lendman). Haven't seen it on the Web. That minor detail aside, it's really nice to see some text after so many videos. And with references! Many of them to important Putin speeches. A useful counter-narrative to mainstream drivel. And bang up to date. Even mentions Benjamin Abelow's recent "How the West brought War to Ukraine". And there's reference to an up to date speech from Mearsheimer on "this multi-dimensional disaster" and a link to that important UN document on the number of Donbas casualties pre invasion. Documents like this are important to save and keep an eye on lest one gets too caught up in battleground minutiae and lose sight of the wood for the trees. Though both are important. Close inspection of Roberts's article reveals a tiny "download" link in the top right corner that'll give a pdf.
