Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Max Boot is almost in tears here. An absolute CRACKPOT. Anderson Cooper is unwatchable my gosh.
Stephen Cohen usually has a weekly commentary on The John Batchelor Show. He’s definitely worth listening to.
Boot, on the other hand, is an idiot.
Max Boot is playing his best rendition of “Das Boot” hoping that he will be sunk.
Where ever was Max’s rousing Tipperary Song (Das Boot)…?

And this is what passes for analysis…OMG help us all; as this witless wonder would restart intermediate nuclear missiles.
Professor Cohen sunk Max’s BOOT with aplomb!

Boot needs to go back to his day Job…Picking litter at the funny Farm….WAPO better have good lawyers to explain why he is employed
Hmm they do have that Communist Jewish fellow (Deep throat was named for him) & other swamp critters.

Deep State Boot
Dyed in the wool globalist nut job. Fanatical war hawk and unapologetic interventionist.
This is my first (and now second) exposure to Boot. I hope he drives a Tesla.
I always shake my head and laugh at phony- ass talking head actors like Anderson Cooper. The on camera Media talking heads are probably the biggest fakes in all the fake news empire. (“So what you’re saying is…”) Remember that dumb biatch over at Pravda BBC? Having 2 or 3 different producers talking into your earpiece telling you how to act and what to say while the talking head anchor acts for the camera manufacturing the illusion that he/she has a brain when in reality they really haven’t a clue about anything, they simply look right for the part or have the right genitalia, kinda like how Trugrope looks right for his part but is quite obviously a mentally deranged pervert, that like his Father hates Canada. Boot reminds me of a deep state operative at the very low end of the swamp… a real Munson.
I don’t even know that Truegrope “looks right” for the part.
Having watched enough speeches given by him, I always get the impression that he’s just a bad actor, who doesn’t even believe in his lines.
Boot to the head, Max.
Globalists like Max Boot are absolutely incensed that Russia booted socialism out the door.
Not only that, but Putin is returning the Russian Orthodox Church to religious primacy in Russia.
Now the two countries with the vast majority of the world’s nuclear weaponry are turning their backs to globalists and their socialism.
The globalists and their fellow international socialists are very likely not happy about that. Not very happy at all.
This is going to be interesting.
I’m not sure how Professor Cohen was ever permitted to be on Anderson Poopers show (you know, with his common sense reasoning and fact-based analysis and all), but he likely won’t be again.
That was such a satisfying intellectual beat down of Boot that I had to watch it twice.
Vladimir Putin is a KGB Trained thug whose assignments included suppressing internal dissent in Russia and the then Warsaw Pact. He is a Nationalist who believes in Russia First and Foremost. He is also trying to bring the former areas of the Soviet Union with ethnic Russians in them back into Russia. Areas like Ossetia, Georgia, Crimea, and Western Ukraine, where Stalin killed or exiled (and Hitler murdered his way through many too) many of the original inhabitants and replaced them with ethnic Russians.
He is also supporting old Soviet Union client states like Syria, and if he can again get a foothold with weapons sales, in India too.
Seventy Percent of Putin’s perceived power is his arsenal of nuclear weapons, the remainder is his control of European Gas and Oil supplies and his conventional weapons. He is willing to use his FSB and GRU Intelligence services to multiply the effects of his limited powers, just like his Soviet Union predecessors. He has killed internal and exiled dissidents, just like his Communist and Tsarist predecessors ( remember Ivan the Terrible?). He has shown restraint though, unlike mega-killers Lenin and Stalin.
Unlike what Max Boot and Colonel Peters may think, or are paid to foolishly spout, Putin doesn’t want to take over the whole world. He wants a seat at the international table, AND He still thinks Russia should be at a head of the table opposite the US.
In the mean time, all these people like Boot idiotically ignore the rapidly growing modernizing 800+ pound gorilla named China.
“[Putin] is a Nationalist who believes in Russia First and Foremost.”
The President of Russia putting Russia “First and Foremost”?
Huh. Who’d have thought it?
JJM, You just do not understand our betters,
Putin should be a progressive globalist like the enlightened leaders of the Western World, Merkel, May and Macron. These wonderfully credentialed elite leaders are bringing in millions of unassimilated and unassimilatable foreigners to replace their own native populations.
Their European native populace have been too poor from supporting a socialist welfare state to afford to have their own children. Now the few people born in the last thirty years get to support their own parents’ retirement, their neighbors’ retirement; AND now the unassimilated newcomers including their elderly parents and many young children. Children the native European working population cannot afford to have themselves.
I almost can’t blame the newcomers. Did the Germans even try to assimilate the Turks they brought into Germany in the 1960’s and 1970’s?
I agree. Well said. Putin is a thug, but is not a First Secretary with communist murderous Marxist ideology, nor a Tsar with murder on the scale of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great. More like Tsarina Catherine II with aspirations to the south for warm water ports toward the Indian Ocean and or the Mediterranean. One of Rissia’s main goals during World War I was the hope of gaining control of the Dardanelles Straights.
Kind of shocked that, that Boot guy didn’t pull out the “literally shaking” or some such.
That was actually laugh out loud funny the level of emotional distress he was displaying there.
And that professor should never again agree to appear on a show like that. All he did was sound reasonable and knowledgable about the subject at hand. And that Max Boot guy came at him like a six year old with sugar cubes in his Pepsi.
Phooie on CNN and its entire band of over paid liars dont ever forget CNN was created by RED TED TURNER who brainwashed kids with junk like CAPTIAN PLANET and the PLANETEERS and NETWORK EARTH as welll as ONE CHILD ONE VOICE and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER i quit watching the talking heads and quit reading the birdcage liners years ago
So Trump won’t attack Russia and this after all the hysteria about him having access to the red button. The real problem is Hitleraly didn’t win and Max can’t accept it .
Let’s analyze this.
This is so instructive about demagogues.
A guy that knows his stuff, an actual expert on what he speaks of has to endure propagandist demagogue that can’t get away from the media cartel talking points.
The propagandist does not make the slightest effort to understand the intricacies of politics and diplomacy, repeating constantly what he divined in his professor’s echo chambers of the ideological academia.
Steven Cohen on the other hand has full practical knowledge of things he speaks of
Growing up in a socialist country run by communists, I can clearly understand what he says.
When Cohen said that he does not do defamation of people, he hit the idiot right between the eyes, though the other talker did not seem to notice. It could be because the hit would not adversely intrude the empty head.
Not that Trump is ever diplomatic, though he has his ways of dealing with stuff that many find refreshing and others can’t handle.
If “not that Trump is ever diplomatic,” then obviously “diplomacy” is way overrated in international negotiations.
Actually, your statement is not true. When Trump tries to be diplomatic, i.e. speak to monsters as though they were normal people, the MSM calls it collusion or worse. In fact, Trump plays the good cop, bad cop all by himself. After causing consternation by being tough on PRNK, he turned around and treated Kim with civility in Singapore. The MSM (and Democrats, Nevertrumpers, and other swamp creatures, just call them all MSM for short) simply don’t understand his negotiations. He is not done with PRNK, but so far he already has achieved much more in a year and a half than anyone else had in 72 previous years.
One of the major talking points against Trump the candidate was if elected, he will have access to the Big Red Button, with him being a madman and all. Now the MSM want to goad him into starting a nuclear war with Russia to prove he is not Putin’s puppet.
In actuality, Trump has been very successful in getting what he wants viz a viz Russia. He convinced NATO to do their share (against whom if not Russia?) He convinced Germany to buy more U.S. natural gas to reduce reliance on Russia. And he is still working at it. He told Russia no negotiations re Ukraine as long as Russia occupies Crimea. Contrast that with the only visible Russia interaction of Obama, when he (and his Secy of State) gave twenty percent of our enrich uranium to Russia. Who indeed was the sock puppet? And who indeed knows how to negotiate, “diplomatic” or not. And if all it costs him is a little verbal sop, that’s cheap for the price, and not a sign of submission or laughably treason. Compare that with Obama bowing to the waist to the King of Saudi Arabia, which was unquestionably a sign of submission, and crickets from the MSM.
Lev, well said.
Well said.
Whether one likes Trump or hates him, he sure is shaking things up. They did need shaking up, badly.
I like what Trump is doing, without fear and reservation.
It just drives the “social scientists”, the “political scientists”, the “media scientists” and other such to drink. Then it is as though all of them at the same time get out of the watering hole and sing the same insane song.
The important part here is that the plebeians should have another source, not unlike the wisdom of commenters on SDA.
For those that don’t agree, your comments are from feeble to nonsense, go suck on a lemon or something, it may improve your appearance.
Heh, whatever.
I forgot to mention, in brief, Max Boot is a moron and Stephen Cohen knows what he is talking about and is absolutely correct. Cohen forgot to mention that Obama ‘interfered’ in the Russian election quite openly.
I like President Trump’s attitude when there are bad feelings between himself and other world leaders, he calls them and says “Let’s talk”, face to face if necessary.
Many years ago now, working for the most excellent pipeline company, there was a lot of victims.
When there was a rumor that I did this or that, I confronted the superior or the lateral on where of they speak.
Never worked out for them good.
Yeah, Trump will say things that others would not, though he is not afraid to face the consequences.
That is irritating the media cartel something silly.
The day of NUKE power may have a worthy competitor….How many Russians, Chinese, North/South Korean’s are reading Trumps tweets? I guess the Neo-Cons could shut down his tweets
RD… good smart theory
The guy in the middle is Max Headroom.
Although the Max fellow sounds even more vapid than the cartoon character did.
