Eric Draitser of StopImperialism.org appears on Community Progressive Radio (July 21, 2014) to discuss the latest developments regarding the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in eastern Ukraine.  He explains that the United States is using the tragedy as an opportunity to reframe the narrative of the war in Ukraine, demonizing Russia and deflecting attention from the fact that the US-backed government in Kiev was losing the war against the anti-Kiev separatists.  Draitser notes that Moscow has released hard evidence and data purportedly proving that Ukrainian military was responsible for the incident, not the separatists as is alleged by Washington.  He also points out important parallels with intelligence and evidence in Libya and Syria, suggesting that, once again, Washington is manipulating facts to fit their narrative.
