Ukraine: Truth – the First Casualty
Future historians will no doubt puzzle long and hard over the extraordinary incompetence of Western diplomacy in the decades following the fall of the USSR.
Ukraine: a candid, in-depth discussion
Fighter jets are scrambling, tanks are rumbling, naval destroyer ships are entering dangerous territories, sanctions – diplomatic and economic – are flying, and leaders around the world are exchanging heated rhetoric. What in the world is happening in Ukraine? Here is a discussion with a perspective that is sadly missing […]
World War III over Ukraine, anyone?
It is essential that those working to damp down foreign crises understand the perspectives of the parties involved. This sounds obvious enough, but isn’t always the case. As Russia and the United States face off over Ukraine, this country’s political leaders embrace a narrative far different from what Russian President […]
Seeds of impunity: who shut the West’s eyes on Ukraine’s far right?
When CNN’ Christiane Amanpour was countering the arguments of the veteran expert on Russia and the Soviet Union, Stephen Cohen, she used the classical arguments of all appeasers and Holocaust deniers. Judge for yourself. Here is when Stephen Cohen had to say: “There’s a small but resolute right-wing nationalist movement […]

Vlad the Bad steals a march on the West
Soviet leader Josef Stalin used to shrug off critics by his favorite Central Asian saying: “The dogs bark; the caravan moves on.” Russia’s hard-eyed president, Vladimir Putin, is following the same strategy over Ukraine and Crimea. Putin swiftly moved his knight into the empty chess square of Crimea, thereby regaining […]
Putin Triumphs in Ukraine
There is an avalanche of information demonizing both Putin and Russia and painting them as aggressors. Aside from various statements by those who apparently still live, and live happily, in the Cold War, such as Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, Fox News analysts, and neoconservatives, there are those who […]
Beijing: Backing Russia is in China’s interests
The US announced Monday it would put trade and investment talks with Russia on hold. It also suspended military ties with Russia. US President Barack Obama condemned Russia’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, and said Russia is “on the wrong side of history,” warning that the US and its allies are […]
