    "He has a regular show on RT"
    I read RT from time to time and his articles are sad.

    The comments are just over the top.
    I'm easily amused late at night...

    Жал. Все радикальные станут самыми популярными.

    I would agree that America is "broken" but I doubt that this guys knows why it is broken or how to advise Russia!

    I am reminded of a semi-famous quote from a spokesman for the Soviet television news service in the 1980s, who said (in English) "We do not in any way show a one-sided view of life in America. On the contrary, we show the billionaires with their yachts, AND we show the poverty of blacks in the inner city slums!"
