cohen, stephen sestanovich, chrystia freeland and bill browder.arlier, steve cohen, that you thought we were in a cold war. it certainly seems like that when you listen to some of the rhetoric of russian planes flying over english channel. these are bombers. do the russians really have an appetite for something like this. russia is today 2.5% of global gdp. this is not the soviet union. >> if by russia you mean the russian people they have no appetite for this. neither does the american people. this is something given to us by the elites of the two countries. not only are we in a new cold war, but it's potentially more dangerous than the last one. the center of this cold war is right on russia's border not berlin ukraine. it's existential. when you hear already russian generals talking about the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons, you know that russia is shall we say, stressed. the problem here in part are the remarks about putin. something strange has happened. the demonization of putin, which is beyond any factual basis, leads to a ki

he said in a press conference it's bill browder is the crook. >> and this is normal for him?is kind of stuff happens day in and day out. the sergei magnitsky story and my story is a canary in the coal mine for what happened five years later in ukraine. they started killing people invading countries, stealing stuff. then they lie publicly. >> after sergei died, now you're even more passionate to fight against this. putin is your enemy. i mean, are you scared for your life every day when you wake up in the morning, when you go outside? are you concerned for your safety? >> well there's two different -- so am i at risk? yes. they've threatened me with death. they've threatened me with extradition. they've threatened me with illegal rendition. they've done everything possible. do i live my life scared? no, i don't wake up in the morning sliverhivering with fear because you can't live your life that way. i wake up in the morning indignant about what they've done and with a passion to make sure that they finally see justice. >> bill, extraordinary book. best of luck to you, sir. th
