RT Wonders: Who Are These War-Hawk 'Experts'?
RT, a media arm funded by the Russian government, recently published an article asking who these 'deluded experts' are, intent on sending Germans to war with Russia. It rails against the idea of 'self-harming incompetence' and 'stifling dissent,' which is a rather rich observation from a mouthpiece of a government notorious for its suppression of independent media and political opposition. While
highlighting the potential for external influence on national policy is crucial, RT's selective outrage misses the rather large beam in its own eye. The irony here is palpable: a state-controlled news operation, implicated by numerous intelligence agencies in global disinformation campaigns, lambasting other nations for allowing themselves to be swayed by 'experts' (or propaganda). One might
wonder how RT itself factors into certain 'experts'' analysis. Perhaps the real 'deluded experts' are those who believe RT operates independently of the Kremlin's strategic interests. How many governments take RT's reporting on its neighbors as unbiased analysis from a neutral party?
