1. Professor Cohen's remarks bring some clarity ti the situatio9n

Among other things, why the situation is so unclear to the American public, including your most humble hare.

I've never trusted Putin, but there are other political leaders and oligarchs on either side of the Atlantic who would make good lamp post ornaments. I won't name any because I don't have any milk or cookies for Agent Mike if he pays me a visit.

2. "Operation Anaconda"

Even the name is a provocation.
Because the anaconda is a large snake that kills it's prey by wrapping it's coils around it and crushing it to death...which is exactly what they are doing.
What Russia must think of it is obvious.

The west is playing a dangerous game here...and we don't seem to care much because we are distracted with bullshit.
We are supposed to be afraid of Trump when we should be afraid of the neocon agenda which has continued even long after Bush.

3. Any intelligence and we would know

that you never tease a bear. American exceptionalism is that the public is willfully ignorant.

4. 4 NATO generals have advocated "limited" Nuclear war with Russia

These guys are out of their minds. Just talking about it openly raises the risks of Nuclear exchange.

5. Am sure there is plenty of planning, debate

and international cooperation going on.
The press hasn't demonstrated good judgement about anything else lately. Maybe they will surprise us.
