I remember him arguing that the reason Russia took Crimea was that Russia has a naval base there, and they were afraid to lose it. And then he went on to say that the U.S. would do the same thing -- annex Bahrain -- if we were worried about Bahrain closing our naval base there (headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet). That's pretty much when I lost it.

And he is always on the side of Russia against the Ukraine.

He has been arguing recently that there is no proof of Russian government agencies' involved in the hacking. Along with that clown Stephen Cohen as a guest.

I like Thom Hartmann a lot. But whenever he talks about anything to do with Russia, he has zero credibility. And it's not because he is on Russia Today. It's because of what he says.

ON EDIT: Bahrain, not Qatar.

I had no idea either.. Thank you!
