Funny thing is that the so-called Russian version of the story
has always been there -- Cohen may be living in the same alternate
Universe as Putin. The one were Mr. Spock has a beard. ;)
I have been hearing this east/west divide story since the CCCP
started to fall apart. It is not true, go to rural areas in
Luhansk or Kharkiv or Poltava and you will encounter Ukrainian
speaking population who feel Ukrainian and have no great love
for Russia.
I have been hearing that Ukraine is in Russia's sphere of influence
since my entire life. Problem is the MSM has bought into this
narrative that Russia & Ukraine have a shared history and have a
great love for each other -- well the relationship has been the
same as between Master & sub-human slave.
I am surprised Cohen has not tried to justify the American's
South side of the Civil war that they have a sphere of influence
and a right to have slaves and treat people poorly. They
have their side of the story don't they? :O It is exactly
what he is doing wrt Ukraine.
Problem is that Russia has not moved on since the fall of the
CCCP -- dreams of empire, strongman leaders, bowing to the
leadership with unquestioning loyalty still dominate Russia.
They need to move on into the late 20th century nevermind
the 21st century.
This whole stupidity that the East wants to lean to Russia and
the West wants to lean to Europe -- well the 20 & 30 somethings
right across the country want a Western style of life, and freedom
and the ability to have a normal life, and not some form of
dictatorship that exists in Russia.
Cohen has been advocating this whole myth of civil war will
break out -- 25 years later it had not happened. Only thing
that has happened is that Yanukovych used money to buy thugs to
hold on to power -- when they were not paid, they stopped and
walked away -- when that was an obvuious failure they started
busing in people from Russia (which were also paid).
No -- the Ukrainian side of the story has been very rarely heard
and nullified by most of the media. The Russian side has been
heard long enough -- time for Cohen to retire in Sochi -- he may
fit in better in dreams of empire and sphere of influence.
I think Cohen loves the sound of his voice and has a need to be on
the Media. He is locked in a "Great Russia" mode of thinking and
is a dinosaur. He has been studying early Soviet characters way
too long and has adapted their prejudices.
End of Rant :)
