@verdefull

As previously mentioned, Russia Today shits on everyone who is a political adversary of Russia. It is sort of like the Russian version of Fox News. Nobody takes it seriously.

@igorvasilevsky It was in 1992 we weren't US puppet country then...

@Slix20 Yeah, they are pro-Russian, but I have to admit, most of their news are damn true, mostly ,they are not about and older news were only about social life in Russia, about culture , tribes etc. now it seems to be international.

Weapons :D LATVIA :D:D:D bitchez pls kids are more armed than police

@donkrishs You mean like Iraq? or the beautiful situation we have today in Libya? Or perhaps the wonderful autocratic revolution the CIA concocted in Iran? Or you mean the extremism we are fueling in Pakistan with drone strikes? I see what you mean now! It makes so much sense! While Russia protects civilians in the North Caucasus, we bomb Libya into a new Al Qookoo base of operations.

sigh... Some people are completely hopeless

loooool, now RT has talked alot of heavily biased slack about baltics, but this is just pure glenn beck style stuff. :D

[GaligsLol]

wtf ?:D :D: D bullshit i say !!!!

[Slix20]

Russia Today is one big propoganda of russia! Shity tv channel

[donkrishs]

at least they could have put a different journalist on the job not some allegedly Igor. It is hilarious that Russians still believe this shit themselves cause the rest of the world truly doesn't give a rats ass about Baltics, or ze great Russia.

'The elephant in the room' among the educated global society members is that Russia is the evil, unclean step-brother to the U.S. that always goes and does something nasty for which the U.S. has to stop doing whatever it is and go and clean it up. Pfff.
