This
Link of the Week is an interview with one Dmitry Orlov, a
Russian-American engineer and blogger who’s probably most known for his
comparisons of the situation
the USSR was in shortly before and after its collapse and the situation
that America faces now and (in his view) is likely to see in its own
near future. I have my own thoughts and opinions when it comes to
his analysis and conclusions on that, but I’ll
save those for later and simply say that his point of view is worth
reading and/or listening to (you can find that comparison “Closing the
Collapse Gap” here). At any rate, this podcast interview is excellent
and offers a perspective into the Russia-Ukraine
situation that isn't really touched in the American mainstream media. My take is that while Dmitry has some slight bias towards
Russia (understandable given his background), it’s not nearly as bad or
blatant as the pro-West bias seen in what passes for American news. I expect
somewhere in the middle lies the truth, and in my opinion it's closer to Dmitry
Orlov's take than what the US (and European) mainstream media is telling us.
