If you've been waiting like I have, since the downing of MH17, to hear from John Batchelor and Professor Cohen, last night's program did not disappoint.
The latest installment of this series may have been the most compelling and informative to date. During the podcast, you'll here John and Steve discuss:
- The events of the past week
- The very dangerous situation at hand
- The ongoing destruction and Civil War within Ukraine
- Any possibilities of de-escalation
- The role Germany might play going forward
- Much, much more
Again, in the absence of any discussion and debate in "the West", I beg you to listen to these podcasts each week. As Professor Cohen states: "Even in the run-up to the last Iraq War, there was dissension and debate. Here there is none." On another note, where's the outrage? One US ally (Israel) bombs a neighboring territory (Gaza) and the world overflows with anger and outrage. Another US ally (Ukraine) bombs its own citizens (Donetsk and Lugansk) and no one cares.
