War is a Boon to Bankers by Howard Switzer

There was a time before 2014 where it seemed to me that relations with Russia were finally settling into peaceful trade and cultural exchange, perhaps it was only my imagination conjuring up a vision I would prefer because I was ignorant of what was really going on. That was shattered when the US engineered the fascist coup in Ukraine and the fascists began murdering the Russian speaking people of Ukraine, 80% of the people in Crimea immediately voted to become part of Russia for their protection.

Ukraine is a sensitive area for Russia, it has been invaded through the Ukraine numerous times, by Napoleon, WW1 and WW2, to name a few. NATO is an anti-Russian organization designed to extend western hegemony over the world.
