Your article about China and the Ukraine crisis, sadly, was a reiteration of the western MSM united vilification of Putin as a crazy expansionist, invading Ukraine for no good reason. I wish you could have shown that you are acquainted with the basic issues driving this crisis. The fact that never once was NATO referred to, and the reliance on the BBC, the Observer, US Intelligence, White house Advisers, the State Department showed that you have swallowed the US and NATO propaganda hook line and sinker. I am including some excellent articles from Academics who have been studying this situation for decades. Below are some YouTube resources which have been helpful to me in gaining a wider perspective:
Tariq Ali: News From Natoland - Sidecar.
Tariq Ali: On Ukraine, Nato Expansion and Russia's Peace movement.
Vijay Prasad: Another View on the War in the Ukraine in ‘Letters and Politics'.
Prof John J Mearsheimer: Why is Ukraine the West's Fault?
Prof John J Mearsheimer: The Situation in Russia and Ukraine (Kings Politics)
Chris Hedges: Prelude to a War Crime
Chis Hedges: Death merchants: War profiteers are funding this crisis.
Democracy Now: Ambassador to the USSR Jack Matlock: I Was There.
