Professor Steven Cohen, on expert on all things Russian, just lectured Chris Hays, of MSNBC, on the real situation in the Ukraine. It was a delight to hear a non-imperalist, non neo-con, point of view being aired on a U.S. news outlet. Up until major U.S. news outlets have been all out anti-Putin and lax, to put it mildly, that the new Ukraine government was backed by the EU and the United States and that so-called interum democratic government is dominated by neo-fascists. Earlier today U.S. on MSNBC Mr. McPaul, the former U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine, said that Putin is responsible and by his (Putin's) speech today, to the Russiam parliament today, that a new cold war is at hand and that Putin is responsible.
