My latest column: Truth Crushed to Earth: Why Ukraine, as part of a global struggle, is unlikely to be solved by Kievs ethnic cleansing Not trying to sound too cheery a tone, but the triumphalism of the idiot press like the NYT is just silly It would be crazy not to be downhearted, and the Russian long game—even if it is successful—is incredibly sad, perhaps even cynical, for hundreds of thousands of people across Novorossiya. The junta is imploding, they have no hope of taking—let alone holding—Donetsk, and their cynical use of cannon fodder will make them even more hated. Meanwhile, even the July heat can’t chase away the looming shadow of a coming gasless winter; Merkel is in China looking for her own piece of the same Eurasian pie that Putin just snagged, hugely pissing off her American patrons; and the French are howling about the unfairness of the dollar system. At the risk of sounding glib: (Long) Game. (Long) Set. (Long) Match. bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?article23180
