5. Well, you WON'T see any western media......

and probably not even Russian media giving any attention to Barotba. The Western MSM will lump them in to the category of "Russian separatists" and RT will ignore them totally. At least if and until they wind up actually influencing things on the ground in Ukraine. Then they'll probably be called by BOTH sides as "terrorists". And in truth, they are in a very precarious position and the odds ARE stacked against them. I'm (along with Worker's Power and the League for a Fifth International) just trying to give them some notice so that at least a few people realize that there are SOME other forces at work in Ukraine and not just Russia and the West.

Fully agree with your take on the neocon holdovers. Obama has made a lot of mistakes, some of which involved his ideological worldview, and those neocon holdovers was one of his first. I guess Halliburton's profits have taken a hit since the wind down in Iraq and Afghanistan, so they need to gin up another war. So far though, the American people aren't buying what they're selling.
