Posturing and Rhetoric
I mentioned to third period APELCers today an analysis of the current diplomatic situation between the United States and its NATO allies and Russia over Poland’s agreement to host interceptor missiles batteries (ostensibly designed to deter attacks from Iran). (Here’s a link to Moscow News’ take on the situation. Interesting to note the difference in its presentation and its resulting ethical and pathetic affects.)
The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer (one of the best news and analysis programs in media) invited two experts to explicate and analyze unfolding drama between West and East: “U.S. Defense Deal With Poland Stirs Angry Russian Rhetoric”. I encourage you to listen to it attentively when you have some time; it is a fascinating and heated discussion in which you can easily distinguish levels of critical thinking and learn about the rhetorical interaction between NATO and Russia.
