"As evidence, Cohen points to some recent examples: the emerging
permanence of NATO’s “exercises” on Russia’s borders on land, sea, and
in the air; the Obama administration’s refusal to separate physically
its “moderate oppositionists” in Syria from anti-Assad fighters
recognized as terrorist groups, despite having promised to do so; the
demand by 51 State Department “diplomats” that Obama launch air strikes
against Assad’s Syrian army, which is allied with Moscow, even if it
might mean “military confrontation with Russia”; the questionable
allegation that Russia had hacked files of the Democratic National
Committee coupled with a NATO statement that hacking a member state
might now be regarded as war against the entire military alliance; and
the EU’s renewal of economic sanctions against Russia without any
meaningful pretext.
