Caitlin, you have given voice to what the sane among us have been fearing for a while. It is obvious that the ultimate goal of the proxy war the empire is waging to the last Ukrainian is the balkanisation of Russia. With Russia balkanised and puppet regimes at the empire's beck and call they could wage a war against China. A white supremacist war of the Churchillian kind. We should be grateful that Putin is thwarting the grand plan.

Jeff Sharlet, author of "The Undertow" talks about the far right and the growing threat of Fascism in the US and that there is a slow civil war going on. All the while they are wallowing in their neoliberal lust, inventing new wars, polluting and pillaging, not only harming their own people but the rest of humanity.
