WTF!!
Eric Draitser is an important barometer of thinking among those leftists
who have developed a critique of opinions he once held himself.
Counterpunch used to publish Diana Johnstone who still adheres to these
views. Its move toward more reality-based views on Russia prompted this

If I had written such an article, I would have named names including
Stephen F. Cohen as well as Johnstone. But not everybody is as
contentious as me, thank goodness.
