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

Propaganda can come from both sides.

(5,756 posts)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.

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