text: Washington and NATO are providing personnel and advice to help the Ukraine government kill and drive out those who are demanding autonomy from the US puppet regime in Kiev [5]. Washington and its proxy forces in Ukraine are ‘ethnically cleansing’ the mainly Russian speaking separatists in the east, with up to one million having fled across the border into Russia [6].
  Yet it is Washington that accuses Moscow of invading Ukraine and having a hand in the downing of a commercial airliner based on no evidence at all. As a result of this invisible Russian ‘aggression’, Washington has slapped sanctions on Moscow, which are hurting Europe more they are hurting the US [7]. But that’s the point: to de-link Europe’s economy from Russia and weaken Europe to ensure it remains dependent on or ‘integrated’ with Washington, not least via that corporate recipe for economic plunder known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) [8].
  The mainstream corporate media in the West parrots the accusations against Moscow as fact, despite Washington having cooked up evidence or invented baseless pretexts [9]. As with Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and countless other ‘interventions’, the western corporate media’s role is to act as cheerleader for official policies and wars.
  It is worth mentioning that the US has around 800 military bases in over 100 countries [10]. Russia does not.
  US spending on its military dwarfs what the rest of the world spends together. It outspends China by a ratio of 6:1 [12].
  By the 1980s, according to former CIA ‘asset’ John Stockwell, Washington’s wars, death squads and covert operations were responsible for six million deaths in the ‘developing’ world [13]. An updated figure by writer Annie Day suggests that figure is closer to ten million [14].
