[Introduction
The following essay by documentary photographer Giorgio Bianchi, based in Donbas since 2014, sent chills up my spine but I do believe it represents the real state of affairs that exist between the US and Russia. On the one hand, the Empire of Lies, consisting of the lead liar the United States, literally followed by the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Canada, Australia and Japan, the ‘honorary’ white nation (as defined by the former Apartheid state, South Africa). These are the core Imperialist states and not surprisingly, all are former colonial powers and/or settler states. It should not surprise us then, that their, alleged, racial superiority is a central theme that all of these countries use to justify their imperial actions of which Ukraine is the latest manifestation. As you will see as you read the essay that this ‘showdown’ if you will, between the US and Russia that’s being fought out in Ukraine, due to the greed and stupidity of its leaders, is the first overt test of the Empire of Lies between its hegemonic control of people and resources, and most of the rest of the planet, who are choosing a different routes.
