Politics can be bizarre.

The Ukraine is just trying find a way to drag the US into their war. Now they’ll DEMAND Biden’s help with New York under attack...and they’ll probably send troops to Manhattan.

There’s nothing good about living here (Brooklyn, NY, not Ukraine). Dunno why people want the name in their country. There’s nothing good associated with it.

By our allies the Ukrainian government not the Russians.

Why do you keep peddling this BS that only the Ukrainians are firing artillery? The article directly contradicts your statement by pointing out that the loyalists(Ukrainians) held the airport, until after nine months of shelling(Ruskies) forced them out and left it a "twisted shell".

"Until late January, the airport was still under the control of loyalists determined to retain the strategically important building. However, after nine months of bombardment, most fled, leaving behind the twisted shell of what was once a monument to the country’s bright future. Only bent steel, burned out aircraft and a pockmarked air traffic control tower remain."

Originally, the airport was held by the Donbas militia. It was evicted by the government aerial bombardment, ruining everything.
After that the ruins changed hands many times.

All RT reporting should be considered Russian propaganda, as their media is even worse than ours.

It’s very simple, Russians are invading Ukraine.

Yep, that’s the ticket. Ban everything you disagree with. Then you might be proud of ‘freedom’.

Thee is nothing about freedom in Pravda or RT.

It is state run propaganda device. Perhaps your patriotism for Russia is taking away your ability to reason.

I don’t doubt that RT is a trashy tabloid network. It is still covered by the freedom of press.

“It is still covered by the freedom of press.”

Not in Russia. Well, only if you agree with Putin and the current government.

Journalists in Russia get beat up and threatened.

Attempting to equate Russia, with their President for Life, who kills political opponents...with the US situation, is absurd.

What is your opinion based on? There are more independent medias in Russia, foreign media is operating freely as well.
