The Russia as "Imperialist" Thesis Is Wrong

2. I don't agree

with everything in the article either but I would say we (the West) forced Russia's hand in Crimea when we instigated the coup in Ukraine. I realized I am in the minority in the West on this but I think the neocon project to destroy Russia is still going on and we should be minding our our business. When our leaders start talking about concern for the people of another nation I always wonder why they don't start with concern with people living within 5 miles of the Capitol building. The interior of most our major cities look like they have been destroyed by war. The reason we
won't address it is because we would have to take a hard look at capitalism itself.

Not to mention the MIC must be justified and used to support our corporate interests and last years sequestration cuts scared the poop out of the hawks.

Peace.
