Flashpoint in Ukraine provides insight into today's gravest
geopolitical crisis since WW II. Possible global war looms. Viewed
from the perspective of Western mainstream media, the crisis arose
due to pro-democracy activists overturning a brutal dictatorship,
which led swiftly to Russian incursion into Ukraine and annexation
of Crimea. Viewed from the perspective of the 22
highly-credentialed analysts who have contributed to this
anthology, it's an entirely different story; Obama's pivot is
global, in pursuit of unchallenged worldwide dominance, leading to
multiple direct and proxy wars. Neocon-dominated Washington seeks
to marginalize its Russian and Chinese rivals, surrounding both
countries with US bases. Ukraine is in the eye of the storm, the
crown jewel of NATO eastward expansion, the last step in
Washington's drive to incorporate all former Soviet republics and
Warsaw Pact countries into NATO and install missile defense sites
on Russia's very border. To that end, the US has poured some $5
billion into pro-democracy NGOs which, counter to intention or not,
were soon swept aside by neo-Nazi groups, and leading to the
installation as President of former banker, Arseniy Yatseniuk,
advance leaked as the unelected pick of Victoria Nuland, US
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.
While, as it is argued here, Russia did not invade Crimea and in
fact has taken an extremely measured response with primary emphasis
on diplomacy and ending the crisis, NATO, European and US
spokespersons and media are seeking to dramatize and indeed
resurrect a Russian threat. Eastern resistance forestalls Obama's
imperial project. The West appears willing to pursue it, at the
risk not just of Ukrainian civil war and potential East/West
confrontation but of global nuclear war. The flashpoint in Ukraine
risks the unthinkable. This book explains what everyone needs to
know, to get the world off the bandwagon to war. STELLAR
