Can Andy Burnham’s programme deliver a productive economy – or merely a softer version of capitalism, asks VINCE MILLS
MAJOR MEDIA, led by the New York Times and MSNBC, are stepping up a campaign that could result in military action by Nato and the US against Russia. They apparently want to add an anti-Russia campaign to their ongoing attacks on China.
If these corporate press outlets are to be believed, Russia’s “massing of troops” inside its own territory near the Ukrainian border is proof of danger. They say nothing about the fact that US troops, under the guise of Nato, are actually inside Ukraine training the right-wing military there for a fight with Russia.
The Times on Monday said that Ukrainians “ousted” a Russia-friendly president in 2014 and that they are “increasingly in favour” of “binding their country” to Western institutions.
