The calmness and rationality of Putin irritate Western politicians, so they have to escalate all the time to try to get him to lose control.

Ray McGovern is such a delight. Hes like a super smart, humble grandpa that patiently shares his wisdom with us. I really appreciate him, Alistair Crooke, Colonel Douglas McGregor, Ambassador Chase Freeman, John Helmer, Larry Wilson and the other fine gentlemen we see on these shows.

I have never heard a non-native pronounce "Budapest" with the utmost perfection Mr. Ray McGovern does. Formidable intellect and integrity. Always very enlightening and enjoyable. Thank you!

The Crimean plebiscite was organized by people in Sevastopol, independent of Russia. How do I know? Because I met the couple who helped organize it in Sevastopol. They saw thugs from Kiev coming down to terrorize them, they already were treated as second class because they spoke Russian, not Ukrainian, and they pleaded with Russia for protection, which Russia was able to give, since it already had military stationed in Sevastopol by prior agreement with Kiev.
