Heads up TV journalism fans and those concerned with American and Russian politics and relations. I urge you to view two broadcasts airing, ironically, in the same time slot on Sunday evening, June 4, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.  ET.  One is the venerable 60 Minutes (CBS) on which a story about the “mysterious attacks on the lives of Russian activists” will lead.  The other is Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly, (NBC), the premier episode, featuring the stalwart Megyn Kelly’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  As an American Independent (politically speaking) and a disciple of Realpolitik—particularly where Soviet-turned -Russian rulers are concerned—I  expect that the veneer of Vladimir Putin’s carefully constructed image and well-orchestrated public persona will be unglued before us on two fronts.   We as a nation need clarity on him, his means and his objectives in order to assess our own vulnerabilities and possibilities at this critical time in our still very young democracy’s trajectory.
