On Tuesday, Stephen F. Cohen joined Larry King on Politicking to talk about Ukraine as the new Berlin in today’s burgeoning Cold War. Cohen noted that Obama’s openness to providing Ukraine with lethal defensive weapons in the amount of $1 billion a year is the wrong foreign policy move in a time when negotiation and debate should be the long-term preventive solution. “We are coming to a turning point,” Cohen said. “Obama will now decide.”
