PressTV on Zbigniew Brezinski's [presstv.ir] predictions of a war for Ukraine are worthy of note:

"Ukraine, Azerbaijan, South Korea, Turkey and Iran play the role of critically important geopolitical pivots," he wrote in The Grand Chessboard, a book viewed by many as a blueprint for US world domination.

Brzezinski wrote that Eurasia is "the chessboard on which the struggle for global primacy continues to be played," and that "it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America."

Understanding Brzezinski’s long-term view of Ukraine makes it easier to comprehend why the US has given $5 billion to Ukraine since 1991, and why today it is hyper-concerned about having Ukraine remain in its sphere of influence.

It may also help explain why in the past year the US and many of its media outlets have feverishly demonized Vladimir Putin.
