It's not the first time (this week) Karl that you've questioned RT's motive(s) for leaving out passages or worse still editing (doctoring) the actual content of important transcripts.

Andrei Martyanov doesn't trust them . . . much.

I thought they were partly state funded, I could be wrong.

Andrei, who I have the greatest respect for seemingly sees them as not much better than liberal 5th columnists.

I suppose after their treatment, well outright ban from Mr West, they should no longer be under any illusion regarding the integrity of said Junta.

In a transactional sense, Europe has nothing to offer the USA other than a role as consumers in the world supermarket. The supermarket goods mostly are cultivated and manufactured elsewhere. Whereas Russia is a resource and refinery and fabricator, that is also what USA imagines itself to be again sometime soon but in the meantime is a financier swindler finagler. China is in the producer club as well and so is BRICS but USA will studiously ignore that as it sets up its new arrangements outside of the European club. Follow the money. It is a worthwhile direction for the USA but it will only succeed through peace and will need to absolutely change its style - I doubt it can.

Thanks for the Lavrov report and I share your reservation re RT. They have a tendency to 'frame' their reporting but is often comes out as clumsily skewed.
