AMY GOODMAN : NATO announced a series of steps to reinforce its forces--this is NATO in eastern Europe--because of the Ukraine crisis. NATO's top military commander, Philip Breedlove, described the moves as defensive measures.

GEN . PHILIP BREEDLOVE : All the actions that we have proposed and have been accepted today are clearly defensive in nature. And I think it's going to be very straightforward to see them as defensive in nature. They are designed to assure our allies. And so, I think that, in any case, it's always a chance that you run that something might be misinterpreted. But we specifically designed these measures to assure our allies only and to be clearly seen as defensive in nature.

AMY GOODMAN : Your response, Professor Cohen?

STEPHEN COHEN : I've never known what "purely defensive weapons" have meant--I mean, presuming they are guns that shoot in only one direction. I mean, it's going to have no effect. I mean, they're talking about giving the Ukrainians maybe some small arms, some night vision stuff, some superior intelligence. They can't give them intelligence information, because the Ukrainian intelligence services, as we know from the tapes we've had, the leaked tapes, and from the CIA secret mission which was exposed to Ukraine, revealed.

The real debate going on in NATO--the real debate, because this is a distraction--is what Rasmussen said in your earlier clip--he's the political head of NATO--that we're building up, as we talk, our forces in eastern Europe." read more here: click here

"Rob Kall's Bottom Up is a revaluation of values, not the empty mouthing of the word 'democracy' that is so common, but the application of belief in popular wisdom to every aspect of life. Actually believing that the views of more people is better, means a new way of thinking about the world that is democratic, feminist, localist, populist, and radically richer than the elitist perspectives that are more common even in the parts of the world that shout the word 'democracy' the most. Here we come to understand both the power of small groups and the upsides to internet crowd sourcing, the potential of nonviolent movements and ways in which the past has not been what we supposed. Don't just read this book; get lots of people to read and talk about it."
