Salon Radio: Professor Charles King on Russia/Georgia
(updated below)
During my discussion with Professor King, which lasted roughly 25 minutes, he examined the actual motives driving the various parties to this conflict; the misleading nature of the dominant American media themes; the extremely limited options available to the U.S. to influence the course of events; the analogy between Russia's intervention in Georgia and NATO's far lengthier and more aggressive intervention in Serbia; and the reasons for the increasingly acrimonious relationship between Russia and the U.S. A transcript of the interview will be posted shortly.
