Exposing the West's "Reverse Blame" game.
Who is driving the current effort to blame the Russian Federation for Ukraine's crisis, and trying to cover-up their own complicity in the process? A group of prominent academics have pooled their thoughts and observations in a new book concerning who is driving the Ukrainian civil war, who stands to gain from promoting conflict with Russia and how Western Media is cooperating with their efforts.

How 'Reverse Blame' Works: New Book on Ukraine Crisis Exposes US Geo-Scams
One year since the bloody uprising in Kiev, world’s leading political analysts look into the background of what grew into one of the gravest geopolitical crises; they've put their thoughts together in a book, “Flashpoint in Ukraine”, which, of course, went unnoticed by the US and European mainstream media. Sputnik got hold of one of the copies.
According to the accepted narrative of the Western mainstream media, the crisis begun when the so-called fresh-faced young pro-democracy activists overturned what they believed was a brutal Russian-backed dictatorship which stood in Ukraine's way, keeping it from joining the European family of nations and sharing in its prosperity. This led to the claimed Russia's incursion into Ukraine and what they called "its annexation of Crimea." However, 22 analysts with impeccable credentials were able to review the events that led up to the current crisis in Ukraine, and an entirely different story emerges.he authors reveal the true aims of the backers of the military conflict and what they were willing to do in order to achieve their goals.
In his chapter "The new Cold War’s Ukraine Gambit", Michael Hudson, a world-famous research professor of economics at University of Missouri, Kansas City explains what the conflict is actually all about. "The object is the same as that of military conquest: appropriation of land and basic infrastructure, and the rents that can be extracted as tribute," he writes. "In today’s world this is taken mainly in the form of debt service and privatization. That is how neoliberalism works, subduing economies by indebting their governments and using unpayably high debts as a lever to pry away the public domain at distress prices."
"It is what today’s New Cold War is all about. Backed by the IMF and European Central Bank (ECB) as knee-breakers in what has become in effect a financial extension of NATO, the aim is for US and allied investors to appropriate the plums that kleptocrats have taken from the public domain of Russia, Ukraine and other post-Soviet economies in these countries, as well as whatever assets remain."

Let's sum this up, shall we?
1. You automatically believe what the authorities of this article claim(, even though they are obviously withholding vital information from the reader).
2. You automatically disbelieve what US-media claims.
3. You automatically believe what russian media claims(, even though Russia has a deep interest in the outcome of this situation, even though independent russian news-outlets are under constant attack by the russian government, and even though Russia ranks fairly bad on the Freedom-of-the-Press index).
4. You spread baseless rumors on DU without giving others the necessary information to cross-check your claims. (Do you remember? The US-soldiers that somebody purportedly filmed in Eastern Ukraine? Or "I don't have the time to give you the links. They are somewhere in the 30+ pages of my journal."
Now, please tell me:
Why should I take anything you have to say on this topic seriously?
