Chris Hedges — Russia, Ukraine and the Chronicle of a War Foretold

Another historical account undermining the conventional narrative with facts and previous expert analysis. Why did this happen? Cui bono?

After the fall of the Soviet Union, there was a near-universal understanding among political leaders that NATO expansion would be a foolish provocation against Russia. How naive we were to think the military-industrial complex would allow such sanity to prevail.

Another instance of "disaster capitalism," seizing an opportunity to profit.
