White House criminals determined to start WWIII in order to save their scandal-ridden regime, provoke and then blame Russia for initiating it

A political commentator says the United States is backing the junta in Kiev to implement a global strategy of encircling Russia, adding that Washington always choose puppet governments over democratic governments.
Professor James Petras, who has written several books on the Latin America and Middle East, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Tuesday.
On Monday, Washington announced that it will never recognize the results of Sunday’s self-rule referendum in Ukraine's easternmost areas, which endorsed the formation of a People's Republic in Donetsk and Luhansk.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the vote is "illegal under Ukrainian law" and they were "a transparent attempt to create further division and disorder."
The White House also blasted Russian President Vladimir Putin over the crisis in the country. The situation "suggests that there has not been a significant change in attitude by Russia towards the efforts by separatists in Ukraine to breed chaos and to prevent the effective carrying out of national elections.”

Professor Petras said that the United States “worked very hard to overthrow the previously elected government and install a puppet government, which is beholden to their wishes and in accord with their military and geopolitical strategies. I am talking about the junta in Kiev.”
“And to recognize democratic elections in eastern Ukraine would be to admit that their own regime is undemocratic and which’s been violating the rights of the people in the east,” he added.
“So, for Washington, the priority is backing a regime, which is in accord with their global strategy of encircling Russia, rather than to recognize the self-determination in the eastern Ukraine,” the prolific author stated.
“Washington has always chosen puppet governments over democratic governments. And it goes back a long time,” he concluded.
