Whilst the European Union talks of matters such as “strategic autonomy” and idealizes itself as a unified, independent force for good in the world, the reality could not be further from the truth. Espionage revelations are just the tip of the iceberg of a variety of ways in which the United States has, through its integration with Europe’s military and security dynamic, utilized a myriad of political tactics to strongarm the bloc into following its political will and agenda, even when it is apathetic or openly objects to it.
RT is far from perfect, and there is a lot of trash on their front page. But at times they also publish articles from excellent analysts, like this one by Tom Fowdy. I certainly didnt notice any pro-Russian bias in the article.
This thread is about the specific article linked, not about RT in general. If you want to criticise RT, please do that in another thread.
I just thought that it was a fitting companion piece. It does mean that you can’t trust this as a news-source and the source can be defined as propaganda.
This evaluation of RT can be very valuable for people who have not encountered RT before.
I don’t disagree with the sentiment of the article TBH though
