CinthyaThis is the most dangerous time for Russian-US relations since the Cuban missile crisis, according to Stephen Cohen. When Cohen joined The Young Turks this week, he explained that we are living through a new Cold War, and that those who deny it are the people who “got us into it and they don’t want to admit it, or they said it wasn’t possible.”
