Russia Today Must Watch
Monica,
I was out of town last week and missed your shows, but I so appreciate you making available your podcasts. In the meantime, as I wait for the time to listen to the podcasts, I’ll leave a most sincere and educational open letter to the American people from a Russian writer. Do please read…the perspective is very helpful.

Monica,
Well, I’ve worked thru the five podcasts. What a treasurer trove! I noted a caller supporting Russia in the prior South Ossetia/Georgia confrontation and you indicated most here probably supported the US position. I hope more supported Russia than you may realize. I certainly supported Russia’s actions as did Pat Buchanan. Here’s a link to one of the numerous articles Pat wrote on the subject. I like this article as it picks up on “Kosovo” and relates to what we do today in Ukraine:

In the third hour of your Saturday show you read Art’s comment. That comment had been earlier posted on another of your blog threads. I remember appreciating Art’s comment initially. As you know I am a Putin supporter, I would be interesting in Art’s reason(s) for not liking Putin, if he reads this post of mine.
Monica, I’m listening to the archives. Great discussion. It’s speaks to the effectiveness of the American media propaganda that one of your callers thinks that we have a free press and don’t have the ability to use propaganda!???? He probably still believes it even though you explained that it isn’t really a free press at all.
Yes, Rich said that if I remember correctly – and he’s a regular listener and a libertarian! He did qualify it a little bit, but yes, I think the propaganda has reached Iron Curtain proportions here. Can the Internet bring down the Information Cartel? (I’ll be talking about that tomorrow-if you comment on that I will try to read it on air 🙂
While talking to a very smart 40 something year old Russian at my pool,I was given what the Russian side of the intervention was in South Ossetia. Putin sent army through mile long tunnel from North Ossetia, which is in Russia, into Georgias section of South Ossetia to stop Georgias army directed by their President Shaskavillis from shelling civilians. FYI, Joseph Stalin was South Ossetian, which sometime ago were Persian. The Russian people were shocked to hear Stalin speak for the first time on radio and discovered he was not RUSSIAN but South Ossetian.My friend also says, too many NAZIS in Kiev, who are persecuting Russians in east Ukraine.Is Putin using Hitlers excuse, to protect Germans in Sudetenland, to send troops into east Ukraine ?
