This is a great book. Have you tried Tournament of Shadows?

The book Tournament of Shadowsby Karl Meyer is an excellent start. It mentions a lot of contemporary writings (Kipling is used a lot!) that can give you a feel for the culture and feel of the area during the time.

>I am asking you specifically how anti-Russian propaganda destabilizes Ukraine, to which you still have not given me an answer, which to me indicates you have none

Comments like these only show you aren't interested in rational discourse.

Your question was extremely vague, completely goes beyond the realm possible to discuss on reddit, requires extensive lecture, and just plain and simply pretty ignorant. If you are unaware of how the US destabilized politics in Ukraine, why have this conversation? You are not informed enough to have it.

The US polarized populations and supported radical groups. Simple as that. If you don't understand how that destabilizes a country and creates situations as we have seen, I'm sorry but you are plain and simply not intellectually qualified to have this conversation.

>Why would the US have an interest in destabilizing Ukrainian politics and causing the current situation and how does anti-Russian propaganda lead to the current situation in Ukraine?

If that is a serious question, you - once again - aren't qualified to have this conversation.

Come back after you read those books and understand that concept.

I mean, are you serious? You are trying to have a conversation about these topics and actually try and attack statements of mine but need to ask me questions like those? People like you are the reason why history keeps repeating itself. No idea what's going, no idea what other people are thinking and why, yet still having big opinions.

Why do you believe the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, etc. happened? Terrorism? Human rights? Freedom and democracy? lol



>And again, there are differences between US-Soviet and Sino-American relationships.

Who said they were the same?

>The US hasn't seriously talked about going anywhere in North Korea since the Korean War, the US interests in the peninsula has been to keep China, Russia, and N. Korea out of South Korea and that's it.

And the US interests in the Middle East have been to keep Russia out. Notice something?
