Could this really be the reason the US and European countries are going after Russia

As they always say follow the money even in war.This was brought up on Mark Thompson show.He also read an article that the US has not so far shown one satellite photograph of the Russian separatist causing the plane to go down or that they had such weapons.He said he will be tracking down some Perry guy for an interview who has this view.Are we being hood winked again?http://rbth.com/business/2014/04/14/brics_countries_to_set_up_their_own_imf_35891.html

It would be that Russia invaded a sovereign nation and took a portion of that nations land, illegally blockaded Ukraine's ships in port and stormed them, and have been actively inciting and supporting a rebellion in another part of that sovereign nation.

Just keep in mind also the media has sided with Ukraine in the war but yet they don't report the skin heads in that country who are in the Government

I'm not sure we are being told the whole story.
Propaganda can come from both sides.

Ukraine did not attack Russia to try and eliminate it from existence like all of the Arab countries did.

The Brics bank was formed one or two days before the downing of that plane.
Fuck with capitalism at your peril.

The US has quite a history of overthrowing country's elected governments when those governments were too left and not as friendly to US corporate industries as the US would like.

We may have met our match at this point though. India and China are countries with huge populations and don't count out Russia.

China and Russia have been agitating for getting rid of the petro-dollar for a while now. When countries begin to hold their reserves in currency other than US dollars that will likely signal the end of US domination.

That wasn't a made up story by the US/EU.

If this is all a conspiracy to de-legitimize BRICS, then Putin is falling right into the trap.
