A large amount of fake news has been concocted, especially in the English media.

Blame the panicking Ukrainian government who have peddled out some pretty scary statements in the last 52 mins.

Very pertinent discussion on AJN right now about nuclear facility safety and integrity.

All Zelensky had to do to aviod this was say Ukraine would not join NATO.

But Russia made a WRITTEN promise not to attack Ukraine if Ukraine give up 1700 nuclear warheads.

Zelensky maybe a comedian, but Poutine is the joke.

Seems like the Russians made a big big mistake in their strategy. By the summer the Russian bear will look like this:-

The US version of Russia’s state-owned TV network Russia Today has closed and its staff have been laid off after several carriers cut ties following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

T&R Productions, the production company that handles the operations for RT America, sent a memo to staff on Thursday informing them that it was “ceasing production” at all of its locations.

The memo, sent by General Manager Misha Solodovnikov and obtained by CNN, told staff the company expected the closure to be permanent, blaming d “unforeseen business interruption events”.


“Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations,” the memo read.
The collapse of the company on US soil comes after satellite carrier DirecTV announced on Tuesday that it was dropping RT America from its programming with immediate effect.

DirecTV was one of only two major TV providers in the US to carry the US version of the Kremlin-ran English-language TV network that has long been used as a mouthpiece to push Vladimir Putin’s propaganda.
“In line with our previous agreement with RT America, we are accelerating this year’s contract expiration timeline and will no longer offer their programming effective immediately,” the company said in a statement.

This marked a major blow to Mr Putin’s reach on US soil leaving DISH as the only large US provider still carrying the network.

Beyond the US version, Western countries, TV networks and tech giants have all been cutting ties with RT ever since Russia launched a full-scale invasion on Ukraine one week ago today.

Google, TikTok, Facebook, and Microsoft all limited access to the state-ran network on their platforms.
On Sunday, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said that the network as well as the state-owned news agency Sputnik would be blacklisted across the EU.

“Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war and to sow division in our union,” she said.

“So we are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe.”

And no, US did not ban RT, they close their office themselves, due to untenable financial situation (They have no income after the network was dropped by almost all US cable).

I would have thought the Russians would have learnt their RPG lessons from Afghanistan, but it seems they were too drunk on Vodka to learn anything in Afghanistan.

The narrative about this conflict is so lopsided; and there is clear evidence that, just like in case of the Covid pandemic, dissent is being muzzled. I recall the words of CNN's Christian Amanpour, who covered the Iraq war of 2003: "We [media] allowed ourselves to be muzzled". And we know the disastrous consequences of that war for all--for all except some connected corporations. The war was the beginning of decline of America or at least its prestige in the world.

The same kind of muzzling is going on but there are a few very prominent bloggers who are speaking up and presenting an alternate viewpoint. And there is always an alternate viewpoint! Notables are these. Then there is of course Tucker Carson who, presumably a Republican oriented person, is not shy to criticize Republicans. While on the Left I see dead-quiet from the likes of even Bernie Sanders to present some perspective.
