(91,937 posts)"A few months ago, at the height of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict over Crimea, Stephen F. Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies and politics at New York University and Princeton, acquired a certain notoriety as the Kremlins No. 1 American apologist. As Cohen made Russias case and lamented the American medias meanness to Vladimir Putin in print and on the airwaves, he was mocked as a patsy and a dupe everywhere from the conservative Free Beacon to the liberal New York and New Republic. Now, as the hostilities in eastern Ukraine have turned to the tragedy of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, Cohen is at it againthis time, with a long article in the current issue of The Nation indicting Kievs atrocities in eastern Ukraine and Americas collusion therein. The timing is rather unfortunate for Cohen and The Nation, since the piece is also unabashedly sympathetic to the Russian-backed militants who appear responsible for the murder of 298 innocent civilians."
