Must Listen from Batchelor and Cohen

These weekly updates are simply vital to our understanding of the Ukraine Crisis. For example, did you know that last week President Poroshenko declared that he was ready to order a military blockade of The Donbass? I didn’t, at least not until I listened to this weeks Batchelor-Cohen podcast. You need to listen to it, too.
This situation is “dire”, according to John Batchelor. An economic blockade is another “act of war” that Russia simply cannot and will not allow to happen. Here’s a direct quote from President Putin, given last week on German television:
“Do you want the Ukrainian central authorities to annihilate everyone there in Eastern Ukraine? Is that what you want? We certainly don’t and we won’t let it happen.”
John and Steve also discuss the extraordinarily poor diplomatic handling of the situation by the U. S. and others, including the G20 conference last week in Australia. Note, too, that they once again get around to discussing TEOTGKE insofar as noticing that Russia is being driven away from the west and into close, new alliances with China, India, Iran et al…basically the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Please be sure to give this a thorough listen. You will not find a more complete and detailed discussion of the Ukraine Crisis anywhere.
