MEDEA BENJAMIN AND NICOLAS JS DAVIES
No party in this conflict has come forward with their own people to honestly explain what they are fighting for, what they really hope to achieve, and how they plan to achieve it. All parties claim to be fighting for noble causes and insist that it is the other party that refuses to negotiate a peaceful resolution. Everyone is manipulating and lying, and the complacent media (from all sides) proclaim their lies.

The dangerous game of red lines in Ukraine

When the United States becomes militarily involved in a conflict, it often finds it difficult to get out, let alone avoid deep entanglements that far exceed the lines it had drawn at the outset of the intervention.
It happened in Vietnam, when American military advisers helping the South Vietnamese fight the Viet Cong eventually became American soldiers fighting an American war. It happened in Afghanistan, when an initial invasion to capture al-Qaeda and topple the Taliban turned into a nearly two-decade nation-building project. And it could be happening right now in Ukraine.

Not even the recent Law of Historical Memory makes the State responsible, he denounces.

Presentation by RAFAEL POCH and article by SERGUÉI KARAGANOV

To understand the war in Ukraine it is essential to know the points of view of all the warring parties.

Instead of undertaking the necessary international concertation to face the challenges of the century, the global elites, and in the first place the Western powers, mobilize their societies to fight against their geopolitical rivals. In the great context of the relative decline of the Western power in the world and the transfer to Asia of a good part of that power, there is no other strategy than a reflex of panic, consistent with the well-known saying "the thief thinks that everyone belongs to him". same condition”.

International journalism should be warned about what happened with the Iraq war in 2004. The lies and manipulation of the news by the United States and its "coalition of volunteers", including Spain, reached levels unknown since the Vietnam war in the 60s of the last century.

Being surprised by the irruption of the extreme right is already a thing of the past. The parties of that current, including those with Nazi sympathies, are abandoning the extra-parliamentary or parliamentary margins to become central and unapologetic actors in hitherto liberal countries.

The Western approach to what is happening in Ukraine makes it clear: the West is not helping Ukraine, it is helping Putin. Sanctions did not stop the war and they never had that chance. The Russian economy turned out to be more stable and robust than the West expected.
