Video with Cohen, very informative and answers all questions ( history, politics, events) about this conflict. Interview of Steve Cohen.
It will change both the war cheerleaders and peace cheerleaders minds without doubt and even reveal Trump’s position on Ukraine.
A highly intelligent, fully informed discussion of RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA and Ukraine that doesn’t label good-guy/bad-guy???
Is that legal?
They want us all to be brainwashed “Richard Ukrainiums” on this subject.
G-d forbid an alternate view would emerge.
It’s unfortunate Prof Cohen has passed away, he was a very knowledgeable expert on Russia and his voice is needed now.

I can add, the last ten minutes state “ what if Trump” was still president? Readers will have hear for themselves.
Interesting. Anyone offering an opinion here on the current war should listen to Cohen first.
“I can add, the last ten minutes state “ what if Trump” was still president?”
Considering the incredible downward spiral the US is going through with Biden, I think of that all the time. Nome of the mess we are in would have happened had Trump not been cheated out of the presidency. Makes me appreciate him even more now than I did during his term in office.
Thanks for posting this interview. It is a dose of reality that most do not want to hear — but quite accurate and truthful.
The bottom line is regardless of the mass hysteria by Xiden and his minions and the western political class, Putin and Russia will achieve their goals in Ukraine. This will lead to the US no longer being seen as the sole hegemonic power in the world economically, politically, and most important militarily but as a system shared by the US, Russia, and China.
And to think, this could all have been avoided but for NATO’s aggressive poking of the bear and the US refusal to negoriate.
We don't want that here. We want mindless neocon war-mongering and childish "pooty-poot is crazy" slogans.

“ And to think, this could all have been avoided but for NATO’s aggressive poking of the bear and the US refusal to negoriate.”
The “poking of the bear” was accelerated when Kamala gave a speech in Poland, hinting that NATO would take in Ukraine. She KNEW that NATO had o plan to admit Ukraine, but lying is OK for the left, even when it leads to war.
US not only discourages negotiation, but is sending massive Mounts of printed, inflation increasing, money to Zelensky.
NO plan to admit Ukraine into NATO
massive amounts of money to Zelensky.
Thanks for posting this interview with professor Cohen. I agree the last 10 minutes of the interview were very important.
In that final discussion he brought up something that I was continuously thinking about during the "Spygate" or "Russia, Russia, Russia" affair, namely that the anti-Trumpers, the US MSM and many others seemed completely oblivious to what effect their play would have on foreign nations, not least of all Russia. I must also say that it was scary to see how little this problem was commented on by other Western leaders and the msm in their countries. Definitely a stark contrast to the comments during Clinton's travails.
And now we have a demented president in the WH during a situation where Russia and the US/NATO are as close to a hot war as ever since 1962. Very scary!!!
https://mises.org/library/inflation
The situation is this: those people to whom the money comes first now have a higher income, and they can still buy many commodities and services at prices which correspond to the previous state of the market, to the condition that existed on the eve of inflation. Therefore, they are in a very favorable position. And thus inflation continues step by step, from one group of the population to another. And all those to whom the additional money comes at the early state of inflation are benefited because they are buying some things at prices still corresponding to the previous stage of the exchange ratio between money and commodities.
But there are other groups in the population to whom this additional money comes much, much later. These people are in an unfavorable position. Before the additional money comes to them they are forced to pay higher prices than they paid before for some — or for practically all — of the commodities they wanted to purchase, while their income has remained the same, or has not increased proportionately with prices.
You are in the other group.

Let’s say what should NOT be done. NOT Listen to MSM , period. Secondly seek for truth , on your own. The MSM / .gov all have an agenda. Thirdly, as us older wiser know the dangers of listening to your emotions, something the fake media masters have mastered….the Covid vax hoax comes to mind…..and on the heels is now the Ukie war hoax.
Russia is no longer respected or feared, and can no longer defend its territory north of China. Russia will now do what China says. Brandon is the CCP grifter that keeps on giving.
That was quite informative. Thanks.
We need to purge all the war hawks out of Congress and out of the State Department and CIA. Their one track “Russia Bad! NATO good!” Cold Warrior mentality is crippling any chance of peace in that entire region.
And they’re blowing up the budget with endless billions in military weapons that go there and A, get used up in weeks, or B, get immediately sold on the giant Ukraine black market end up in the hands of our real enemies.
Also, the CIAs budget for propaganda here in the US is apparently bottomless. They are a self-sustaining cancer here. Remember, they got rid of Flynn when he said as NSA he would have the CIA audited from soup to nuts. Find out where all the money really ends up.
Sundance is right. The US IC is the 4th, most powerful, branch of government. Truly accountable to no one. They run the SSCI, which largely sets their budget, and acts as their pratorean guard.
Only Trump could have reigned them in. So they got rid of him, with the help of Ukraine, Inc. (Chalupa, Vindman(s), Fiona Hill, CIAramella—who trained the snipers who launched the false flag that started the Maidan coup there).
“The bottom line is regardless of the mass hysteria by Xiden and his minions and the western political class, Putin and Russia will achieve their goals in Ukraine. “
Yes. And the idiot Brandon admin is destroying the dollar “to teach Putin a lesson!” Major backfire, like everything Brandon touches. We’re in for double digit inflation for 10 years, and a recession starting in 10 months. With the added bonus of food and energy shortages, right here.
