Russian studies scholar, Stephen Cohen discusses the new Cold War.
This is key info if you're interested in such things. He notes Obama's new/same as ever administration and how they will CHANGE, nothing.
Great stuff. - The audio on this is in mono, which sucks.
Ed: This version is in STEREO, woah!

not sure i understand the point of posting this
are you suggesting that it is the responsibility of obama's government to effect fundamental change in russia's (post-soviet empire) foreign policy.
haven't watched all of this yet, but if you're looking for criticism of the US government, you've picked an odd topic.

No.
It's more the point that the US needs Russia more than Russia needs the US.
Also the fact that Obama's 'new' administration is more of the same, and that the US's foreign policy will not change.

but he admitted to saying that just to 'provoke a reaction', the true sign of a wind up merchant.
and him saying that an admin is 'more of the same' doesn't make it fact. so there aren't many mavericks in there. so what? we're apparently in a global economic crisis. stability sounds pretty good right about now.

Ermmm, 'more of the same' IS a fact.
If you've looked at who he's appointed it's the same old mummies from the Bush/Clinton admistration.
Where's the CHANGE in that?
Ed: The guy's a professor at NY university. He is most respected you know, also he's hardly saying anything outlandish.

so who would you rather have in there?
as regards the gentleman's credentials, he may be a professor in russian studies, but that's not the same as being a professor in american studies or international relations, which is what he really wants to discuss.

I would appoint Chuck Norris as Vice-President.
And his beard as president.

That's not a fact though is it
that's an assumption based on some previous experience.

Oh, it's fact.
I can't be bothered to go through the video and list the names of the old administration which are now in the new administration.
More of the same.

except for when you get two pieces of it stuck together
and try to bite them apart and then either rip the roof of your mouth or swallow the whole chunk.
