America's leading scholar on Russia, Stephen F. Cohen, now retired from both Princeton and NYU, used to be, during the Cold War, regularly invited onto U.S. news media to discuss U.S.-Soviet, and then U.S.-Russian, relations. But now - save brief, infrequent interviews on Fox News'
Tucker Carlson show - he is boycotted by all of the national U.S. 'news' media because he talks about the very real possibility of World War III developing from U.S. policies - not from Russian policies, but from the U.S. government, under both Obama and now Trump.

used to be critical of Dr. Cohen for his apparent refusal to use the word "coup" in relation to what the U.S. 'news' media euphemistically termed
"Ukraine's revolution". That's done even by the BBC, which actually knows better, as is shown
here - their own producers and editors know that they are deceiving their viewers by playing along with the U.S. government's (and its allied UK government's) lies on this most crucial matter of international relations. Indeed, how could anyone NOT know about it, especially after hearing and carefully thinking about
this audio - actual "smoking gun" proof of America's 2014 Kiev coup - which took control of Ukraine, the country with Europe's longest border with Russia.
And now the U.S. regime is placing U.S. military and weaponry onto and near Russia's border. Did John F. Kennedy allow the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev to do that (actually, far less than that) to America during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962? Of course not! But the U.S. government, and its 'news' media, demand that Russia accept the unacceptable.
Comment: Thomas seems to only be using her Care/Harm moral taste bud, and that is preventing her from seeing the problem of school shootings and what can be done to prevent them from a more nuanced perspective.
