    Couldn't have put it better myself. People don't believe in Western propaganda and prove it by believing Russian propaganda instead.

    In all honesty I don't think RT would be broadcast on Sky if they really didn't want it on there.

    I noticed that the anniversary of the breaching of the Berlin Wall was given rather cursory coverage on RT last November. Twas minimalism personified.

    Leaving religion aside, can anyone make sense of that sentence?

    What I mean is, it is one of the channels I get in my Sky package, does Sky tv have to let them broadcast Russian "propaganda" on British tv?

    Be warned. If she doesn't pull through, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

    We've never had anything to fear from the Soviets/Russians, nd nothing's different now. If you're looking for something to keep you awake at night, the Israeli/USA axis is the one that is most likely to tip us into a major conflict. The Americans pose a bigger threat to the UK..

Russia is usually selling an alternative story to go along with its aggression, and to people who want to believe that we are being fed a load of lies by our government this can be quite seductive.
    You really should be a politician. You're really good at answering questions with words that mean absolutely nothing. It's a shame there's not a god; if there were, she might have gifted you with the power of argument.
