There are normal sane and free TV stations in Russia?
Well … let me put it this way: if I see the proof of someone in the west, particularly in the eu (intentionally without capitals), watching “Russia1” or “Zvezda” or “Russia Today” as well as many other Russian TV stations, I might start reconsidering. Those were banned in the eu, especially the internet sites and channels they were broadcasting through, which is sort of kindergarten behavior. In Russia there is no more “McDonald’s” or “pepsi” or others alike – NOT because Russia banned anything but because the owners from the west retreated them from Russian territory … which is also a kindergarten behavior. The ONLY reason why many civilians could not evacuate the high risk areas and many of them died, was because Ukraine forbid all the Russian TV stations and internet sites that OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED the population even about the locations and timing of the attacks – THE PEOPLE, innocent civilians, couldn’t find out anything about that … and now, the ones who are still alive but lost some of their loved ones, are “thanking” fascist Zelensky and the west for that.
Here is another example I experienced at first hand: I wanted to send 200 dollars to my loved ones who live in Russia and who are from Russia, just as I did every now and then in the past years, through “Western Union” – I couldn’t because ANY transfer, whether banking transaction or money transfer service, is FORBIDDEN by the “democratic”, “free-thinking” rulers of eu. Those, they (the devils) call “sanctions”, when in reality the real “sanction” was for WU to not cash the commission anymore from all those money transfers (which is pretty significant).
From what I know, in the whole west the price of car fuel increased – in Russia it decreased a little – not much, but it decreased (I won’t comment much on this one because I don’t have a car, so I don’t have to buy fuel).
Bottom line – if in the west, someone can not watch a Russian TV station, is NOT because it isn’t free … the fact that it was banned, for me is more than proof that it is indeed a free one.
