EXCLUSIVE: What Did NBC's Megyn Kelly Cut Out From The Interview with Putin?
Putin is absolutely impressive in this excerpt from the interview with Megyn Kelly. No softball questions in this interview, but Putin hits a home run every damn time!

Who is Alexei Navalny?
The US propaganda machine would have you believe one thing, but the truth is quite different. First of all, Alexei Navalny really isn't that big of a deal in Russia. Throughout the entire country only 20k people took part in the "Anti-Corruption Demonstrations" (held a few days ago) and most were very young and easily manipulated individuals. Secondly, although US media claims that he will run for president in Russia, he is ineligible due to convictions for serious crimes. The irony is that he was convicted on corruption charges and yet he organizes anti-corruption rallies. Also of interest is his modus operandi. Typically he will obtain a permit for a rally which specifies a location and then at the last minute he will announce to participants that the location has changed. This causes a major disruption and he gets cited for holding an illegal rally. In other words, he goes out of his way to break the agreement in the rally permit in order to provoke and get media attention. In conclusion, it's hard not to say that Navalny is a worthless piece of crap.

Russian spies are recruiting Americans
McCarthyism 2.0. Great example of how the news media attempts to portray anyone who takes an objective, neutral view of Russia as a collaborator or maybe even a spy. This attempt to delegitimize those who are "soft" on Russia is pure propaganda. There are lots of reasons that the USA should work with Russia and be friendly with Russia, but the "deep state" doesn't want that. Ask yourself WHY?

Washington Believes In Its Own Lies and Propaganda
There are way too many bullshit news stories about Russia these days. It would be nice if we good get truthful, non-agenda-driven news for a change!

‘Connect the dots’: Republicans demand probe into alleged activist funding from Russia
Our mainstream media is suffering some weird kind of mass psychosis. To get a sane perspective on things, it's necessary to look elsewhere.

White House reacts to Donald Trump Jr.'s Russia emails
Russia may be a geopolitical rival, but they are not our enemy. In fact, we should work with them to solve the terrorism problem. More communication, not less communication is the way we should go. All this whining over Trump's associates communicating with people from Russia is just a cheap attempt to undermine the Trump White House.
