On Scott Horton’s radio show July 7, Ray gives a short tutorial on the recent history of Russia and Ukraine; how the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych was forced out of Kiev in a Western orchestrated coup d’etat on Feb. 22, 2014; but how NATO “statesmen” start this “phase” of history on Feb. 23, 2014 – as if what George Friedman (accurately) called “really the most blatant coup in history” never happened. Scott gives Ray enough time to discuss how it all went down, the implications for what now happens in central Europe, and why VIPS decided to write its second corporate memo directly to Chancellor Angela Merkel right before the NATO summit in Warsaw. Ray adds a word about his two weeks in Russia (including Crimea) in late June as part of a Center for Citizen Initiatives delegation.
