(11,481 posts)I've heard that phrase all my life for anyone who presents some sort of anti-capitalist view.
The Ukrainian situation IS somewhat complicated, but it seems clear to me that there's ANOTHER classic theme going on there. As in classic Shock Doctrine. Expect this to result, if it goes to it's logical Shock Doctrine conclusion, a handful of Ukrainian millionaires (the ones with insider status with the EU and IMF) and MILLIONS of average people falling into poverty thanks to the austerity and privatization that will be required for IMF funds to "stabilize" the situation and country. And I'd pretty much be willing to bet the rent that eventually we'll all find out that the DEstablization of the country will have been CAUSED by international capitalism and their IMF and EU proxies. There's also quite a bit of imperialist conflict between the EU and Russia going on too.
As I said complicated. I expect it to get even more complicated when the eastern half tries to split away from the western half.
