Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Ukraine: Major "Western" Think Tank Admits Defeat

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Ukraine: Major "Western" Think Tank Admits Defeat

Click here to access article by Bernhard from Moon of Alabama.

Bernhard cites an article from Brookings Institute, a major ruling class think tank, to support his thesis that the Empire's acquisition of Ukraine is a failed project.

Two month later this truth finally dawns to the mediocre thinkers in those "western" misnomed tanks. The Brookings Institute, which in general supports Obama policies, finally admits that a Ukraine without Russia is impossible and therefore cooperation with Russia on Ukraine is the Only viable way forward.
