NATO doesn't decide what NATO does. The US decides what NATO does. The US will not close the airspace over Ukraine because then they'd be at war with Russia. The US will be physically endangered by Russian nukes at home . No way.

Ukraine's (and any country's) agency is beside the point. Russia made clear that it considers further Nato expansion an existential threat. Idealistic fantasies about what's right and wrong disappear like smoke when someone

Nonsense. The Soviet Union had Ukraine as a member state without Europe being "constantly sliced". Ukraine is a vital interest to Russia. It is not to US or Europe. Liberal ideologues in EU and US are bringing nuclear Armageddon c

I regularly read RT and occasionally Sputnik. I also read the opposing views held by Western media like Economist, FT, Independent, etc. RT are always careful to acknowledge opposing viewpoints. For example, in all articles on the war, so f

Russia will not accept NATO in Ukraine and have stated so explicitly and clearly. It is childish to talk about "rights". The West needs to start thinking realpolitik again. It is childish to focus on Putin. The West needs to get i
