| Stephen Cohen Has Died. Remember His Urgent Warnings Against The New Cold War |
| 2020-09-22 |
| [Medium.com] Stephen F Cohen, the renowned American scholar on Russia and leading authority on US-Russian relations, has died of lung cancer at the age of 81. As one of the precious few western voices of sanity on the subject of Russia while everyone else has been frantically flushing their brains down the toilet, this is a real loss. I myself have cited Cohen’s expert analysis many times in my own work, and his perspective has played a formative role in my understanding of what’s really going on with the monolithic cross-partisan manufacturing of consent for increased western aggressions against Moscow. In a world that is increasingly confusing and awash with propaganda, Cohen’s death is a blow to humanity’s desperate quest for clarity and understanding. |

| #3 A great loss. Stephen F Cohen was one of the few honest and brave men left in academe. Cohen was right. The new Russophobia is a clear and present danger that is just as foolish and destructive to our interests as the elites' sucking up to China and the CCP. Putting our Russia policy on a sane footing is yet another reason that it's inperative we re-elect this president. |
