A timely reminder of where the NATO regime change playbook seems to have originated: 'Reactivate ethnic/religious/historical enmity - support anyone who can be used to further the West's geostrategic aims - blame the 'evil ones' (in this case the Serbs and Milosevitch) for the resulting disaster - don't give a damn about the mess you leave behind'.

Thanks for this article, Kit - we can only hope that after so many iterations of the tragedy that befell the people of Yugoslavia - Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and now Ukraine - people everywhere will begin to wake up and understand who the 'evil ones' really are.

As we've seen with Iraq, the majority opinion is now that we were lied to and deceived into accepting a criminal adventure that cost a million people their lives and is still undermining the region. The problem, however, is it's difficult for people to come to terms with the reality - that every conflict we've been involved in has been based on lies.

Putin is often misquoted or (intentionally) misunderstood, but when he said the collapse of the Soviet Union was a catastrophe, I think that after 30 years of wars many of us are beginning to understand what he meant.

Administrations change, but with the CIA, the song remains the same. The victims change, but there is always a boogeyman to be created and then hunted down, to ensure that "Americans and 'democracy' are kept 'safe'". Thanks for reminding us that Gaza is just the latest in a long string of US Geopolitical and CIA insanity.
