11/9/2014: Some Recent Links on Ukrainian Conflict

Here is an interesting compendium of academic and analysts’ voices dissenting from the prevalent Nato/US rhetoric on the long-term prospects for Nato’s role in Ukraine. Note: some of the links come via RIA Novosti, a Russian news agency, which is hardly surprising, given the consistent spin in the opposite direction that we get from the traditional Western media. Another note: this collection of links is not a comprehensive reflection of the reality. It is not designed to be such. In reality, nothing is/can be comprehensive, especially when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine. My point is that much of what we are bombarded with in the social media and traditional media is one-sided. Here is a different side to the same stories. Ukraine and Nato: “The world could plunge into a new Cold War with Russia and China emerging as a new financial centers, unless the West changes the existing financial structures, a professor at University of California, Davis Wing Thye Woo said …at the discussion at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.’I think that if changes do not occur in the international [financial] institutions of today, I think that we are basically encouraging a China-Russian alliance to formulate an alternative center to the US,’ Woo said.”
