French Connections: The Knock-On Effects of the Paris Attacks

Robert Kuttner(American Prospect)November 16, 2015

“A U.S.-Russia grand alliance against Assad and ISIS?” asks Robert Kuttner. “Most readers of the Prospect have scoffed at the idea that the U.S. should make common cause with the thuggish Vladimir Putin, an idea promoted by Stephen F. Cohen on the left and Donald Trump on the right. But the idea just became a little less fringe.”

Stephen F. Cohen and John Batchelor: Do Liberal Democrats Want War With Russia?

john batchelor showSeptember 27, 2017

Having grown into an inescapable political phenomenon, “Russiagate” abets the chances of war with Moscow in at least three ways. It depicts Russia as a “hostile nation.” It has crippled Trump’s promise to ease tensions by cooperating with Moscow. And it discourages anti-Cold War voices in American mainstream media and politics.

Obama Administration Officials Insist Russia Is to Blame for the Syrian Crisis

James Carden(The Nation)November 13, 2015

Last week, on November 5, The Wall Street Journal reported that the CIA will be stepping up its illegal war in Syria by increasing the number of weapons it is providing to the so-called Syrian moderate opposition, putting the lie to President Obama’s pledge not to lead the United States into a proxy war with Russia. If a hearing held by the House Foreign Affairs Committee last Wednesday morning on “Russia’s Escalation in Syria” is any indication, the president should expect little to no opposition to the CIA’s action.

Robert Parry: The Rise of the New McCarthyism

As the New McCarthyism takes hold in America, the neocon Washington Post makes Russia the villain in virtually every bad thing that happens, with U.S. dissidents treated as “fellow-travelers,” writes Robert Parry.

Q&A: Former U.S. ambassador Matlock reflects on Cold War

Adam Beyer(The Chronicle)November 12, 2015

ACEWA Founding Board Member Ambassador Jack Matlock sat down for an interview with Duke University’s Chronicle last last month:

TC: What would you tell whoever is elected president in 2016 to do about our relationship with Russia and other former Soviet countries?

JM: Well, as far as Russia is concerned, I think that in dealing with the most important problems we have, problems like global warming, the threat of terrorism, the impact of failed states, international drug trade, international crime in general, organized crime, these I think are the crucial problems and in dealing with them, Russia is either going to be part of the solution or part of the problem.

Washington Appears to Reject the Opportunity to End the New Cold War With Russia

Stephen F Cohen(John Batchelor Show)November 12, 2015

Nation contributing editor Stephen F. Cohen and John Batchelor continue their weekly discussion of the new US-Russian Cold War. Cohen points out that instead of cooperating with Moscow’s air war against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the Obama Administration is threatening to send US planes and possibly troops to counter the Russian military operation there, while also stepping up NATO ground, air and sea exercises in areas on Russia’s own borders

Paris Climate Talks Should Include Russia’s Lake Baikal

James Neimeister(CENTER ON GLOBAL INTERESTS)November 11, 2015

Following this year’s unnaturally dry summer, wildfires of an intensity not seen in decades have roared across the shores of Russia’s Lake Baikal. At their peak, they raged across nearly 150,000 hectares of land, an area roughly equivalent to that of the Houston metropolitan area. Greenpeace Russia estimates that over the course of July and August alone, up to 1.5 million hectares burned — that is, over 5.5 thousand square miles.

The image of Siberia burning is deeply unsettling, especially given its reputation as one of the coldest places on earth. Though wildfires in the region occur each year, their recent size and severity reveal broad ecological stress in the region. Of equal concern is Lake Baikal’s declining water level, which in early 2015 dropped below critical levels for the first time in more than three decades.

DEB RIECHMANN, AP(PBS)November 11, 2015
