Excellent interview. Thank you for offering a ration perspective from an accredited professor on the subject and asking intelligent questions to demonstrate how real journalism should work.

Completely agree with Stephen F. Cohen. No matter how many people repeat the same line, no matter how often they say it, no matter how powerful or famous these people are - it will never become a fact. We should only trust PROVEN facts.

If we look at the falsified gas attacks meant to discredit Putin, doesn't it stand to reason he may well be framed for killing Russian journalists by another entity with an agenda of undermining him? I'm just asking, not accusing.

Your enemy isn't Russia, it is your own profoundly corrupt "intelligence" agencies...and has always been: "Here's a list of corruption from the CIA which should make us all wonder why anybody a) believes anything they claim to be true or b) trusts their intentions and motivations at all. Thanks for sharing VC Bestor and thanks for writing this Carlo Parcelli. " Once you realize the CIA supported the Indonesian invasion of East Timor leading to the slaughter of a quarter of a million Timorese, Putin ain’t so bad. "Once you realize the CIA has interfered and/or rigged hundreds of 'democratic' elections around the world, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you admit the CIA has overthrown and/or assassinated dozens of democratically elected officials, Putin ain't such a bad guy. Once you realize the CIA has destabilized Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa resulting in the death of millions at the behest of transnational corporations, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you know the CIA ran a secret program funded in part by the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, to experiment with LSD on US citizens without their knowledge as well as research which included propaganda, brainwashing, public relations, advertising, hypnosis, and other forms of suggestion, all on their own people without their knowledge, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you know the CIA overthrew Mossadegh in a coup in Iran in 1953, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you know the CIA overthrew Arbenz in a coup in Gutemala in 1954, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you realize the CIA abetted in the attempted assassination of Charles de Gaulle and Nasser, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you acknowledge the CIA in 1961 assassinated its own creation, the murderous Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo because his business interests threatened US corporate interests and only after thousands had been killed, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you understand the CIA in 1963 overthrew the democratically elected government of Juan Bosch again in the Dominican Republic because he favored modest land reform measures, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you know that the CIA used biological warfare in Cuba, forcing the hog population to be slaughtered twice and causing hardship and starvation, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you realize that the CIA made dozens of attempts on Fidel Castro’s life and murdered dozens of Cuban officials, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you know that the US abetted the bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1973 killing all 73 aboard and protected the perpetrators in Miami, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you realize that the CIA was behind the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you understand the CIA ran dozens of front organizations used to spy on Americans in illegal violation of their charter, Putin ain’t so bad. One you know The CIA’s man in Uruguay in 1969, Dan Mitrione, ran a torture campaign against the civilian population much like the Phoenix program in Southeast Asia and elsewhere, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you remember the CIA backed the coup on Chile that led to the death of that country’s president, Salvador Allende, Commander of the Army, Rene Schneider and poet Pablo Neruda and the murder and imprisonment of thousands of Chileans, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you know the CIA’s Phoenix Program resulted in the murder of tens of thousands of innocent people including local mayors, intellectuals, school teachers, doctors, farmers etc. as well as Viet Minh patriots, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you realize the CIA ran the heroin that US troops got hooked on in Vietnam and the streets of major American cities, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you realize the CIA ran a heroin processing operation out of an abandoned Pepsi Cola bottling plant in Vientiane, Laos, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you know, thanks to Seymour Hersh, the CIA ran Operation CHAOS, a domestic surveillance and infiltration of anti-war and civil rights groups in the U.S., Putin ain't so bad. Once you know the CIA’s people broke into the Watergate to tap the Democratic Party headquarters on behalf of the Republican candidate, Richard Nixon, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you’re aware the CIA’s wrote a Freedom Fighter’s Manual which was disbursed to the Contras and included instructions on economic sabotage, propaganda, extortion, bribery, blackmail, interrogation, torture, murder and political assassination, Putin ain't so bad.. Once you understand the CIA ran a guns down, cocaine up operation during the period of Iran-contra and to the present, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you realize that the CIA is responsible for Islamic fundamentalism having supported the Mujahadeen against the Soviet Union which led to the assassination of the liberal ruler Najibullah, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you recall the CIA blew Orlando Letelier and Toby Moffitt to pieces on a traffic circle in the heart of Washington DC, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you know that in 1963 the CIA murdered its own proxy, Diem, in Vietnam, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you realize the CIA failed to predict the most important event of the Cold War, the Fall of the Soviet Union, Putin ain’t such a bad guy at all. Once you realize Uncle Slimey’s CIA has a long and unbroken record of working with fascists, dictators, druglords and state sponsors of terrorism in every region of the world in its elusive but relentless quest for unchallenged global power, Putin ain’t so bad. Once you know that the CIA worked closely with that homicidal pus bag, Henry Kissinger, Putin ain’t so bad.

Once you accept the CIA staged coups in Chile 1964-73, Greece 1967, Costa Rica 1970-71, Bolivia 1971, Australia 1973-75, Angola 1975, 1980s, Zaire 1975, Portugal 1974-76, Jamaica 1976-80, Seychelles 1979-81, Chad 1981-82, Grenada 1983, South Yemen 1982-84, Suriname 1982-84, Fiji 1987, Libya 1980s, Nicaragua 1981-90, Panama 1989, Bulgaria 1990, Albania 1991, Iraq 1991, Afghanistan 1980s, Somalia 1993, Yugoslavia 1999-2000, Ecuador 2000, Afghanistan 2001, Venezuela 2002, Iraq 2003, Haiti 2004, Somalia 2007 to present, Honduras 2009, Libya 2011, Syria 2012 and Ukraine 2014, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. Once you understand the above represents only the tiniest fraction of CIA murders and lies, Putin ain’t such a bad guy. By Carlo Parcelli Don't #BlameRussia! Unite against this #CIAcoup on USA!"

This guy and his wife Katrina Van Heuval and a few others like Jeffrey Sachs are some of the only names associated with the msm that speak the truth particularly on subjects like Russia.

Whenever in doubt about US droolings about Russia, wait for Stephen F. Cohen to give you the bigger picture. Many thanks !

Thank you Aaron and TheRealNews for a rational interview. I cannot believe what is happening in this country with the corporate media and the Swamp in DC.

Your rational sanity is refreshing after watching a Joy Reid and Maddow on that recent segment together.

The outrageous criticism by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Donald Trump's rare moments of honesty and clarity during his press conference with Vladimire Putin in Helsinki should be a cold shower on the warmth of progressives towards the Burlington Democrat. Progressives should not make the mistake of supporting a leader because he espouses healthcare and Social Security. Too many activist leaders support politicians on narrow grounds of their special activism while ignoring the most important political issue: war and peace. What they find is they lose on their worthwhile special interests as well as on the issues that threaten the entire planet. Examples are leaders such as Cecille Richards of PPF, Mary Kay Henry of SEIU, Terry O'Neil of NOW, Katrina vanden Heuval of The Nation, Richard Trumka - all of whom could not wait to support Barack Obama and, later, Hillary Clinton. Sanders as a leader on the left is not to be trusted with the future, as his alignment with the intelligence agencies, John McCain, and the Russophobes shows.

Too bad you did not get to Ukraine, otherwise, very good interview. Then again, Prof. Cohen has excellent insight, provides excellent analyses. I always listen carefully to what he says.

The only problem with this interview was that I had been watching MSNBC all day before I saw it, and so I had to take a shower to wash off all of the stupid and stink. Only after could I face two intelligent people talking about relevant issues. Thanks!

I just heard on MSNBC that Stephen F Cohen is a well-known communist agent and infiltrator, under direct orders from V Putin. You can't say it on MSNBC if it isn't true, right? .
