Here I would like to discuss Counterpunch's unprovoked publication of a piece by "Glenn Alcalay" (credited in other articles as being a professor of anthropology in New Jersey -- such a qualification!) about Ukraine, titled "No Gray Area: How Putin Wins," filled with all sorts of irrelevant, yet neoconservative, talking points.

US F-22 stealth jets intercepted four Russian bombers and two Russian Su-35 fighter jets off the coast of Alaska on Monday, according to a statement from North American Aerospace Defense Command.

The Russian nuclear capable long-range bombers flew into the Air Defense Identification Zone, which extends approximately 200 miles off Alaska's western coast.
