RT news channel cut from DStv

DStv says you can't watch anti-vax or pro-Russian content after you pay them.
 
FYI YouTube censoring RT too, just not for ZA IPs.

Putin and Lavrov, two a few of the remaining politicians that are still logical, intelligent, reasonable men. Most of the others, especially in the West, have broken out into a sycophantic chorus singing a song of ignorance and make belief. Back to short-wave radio listening at night?
 
This sensorship has gone too far

The whole RT.com seems to have been nuked.
Also not linked on google anymore.
 
Democracy and freedom of speech is quick becoming a myth. The decision of the comedian, Zelenski, to insist on becoming a NATO member and NOT implementing the Minsk agreement led to the humanitarian crisis in his country. The sanctions applied by the WEST is causing unaffordable natural gas prices in EU and UK during cold winter months when heating is required. These sanctions will also cause increased prices for grain and several minerals, which will hit the developing world hard, aswell as all low income citizens. The banning of RT news channel means there is no news channel that broadcasts the other side of the story. So, sanctions punishes the people in `democracies` with inflation and free speech is only available for those in agreement wit the government.
 
Headlines a little misleading but then this is MyBB.
It’s still available on Newsplayer+

I think after the maiden revolution in 2014 it’s been pretty obvious as to where the direction of the majority of Ukrainian people want.
Crimea had most of its ethnic (Tatars) population removed by the Soviets and moved to central Russia, and created the republic called Tatarstan.
Luhansk & Donetsk provinces have had Russian communities pushed there by Catherine the Great to push the Russian Empires territory.

I don't know what the history lesson has to do with my post. I was noting that the politicians are not caring about the populations in their own countries and that those screaming about freedom of speech and the freedom of the press, now show no regard for these freedoms. To have a perspective you need more than a single dimension such ass BBC News and RT, also CGTN. You do not have to agree with whar somebody says, but should defend their right to say it.

Goes back further than that:

Interestingly:

[Rus = Viking]
Modern Russia derives its name from the Kevian Rus’, the ancestors of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The name Rus’ comes from an Old Norse word for ‘the men who row.’

This Is Why Russia Is Called Russia

What do the Vikings the Fins and the Russians have in common? Read our history of where Russia's name comes from to find out.
theculturetrip.com theculturetrip.com

Kievan Rus' or Kyivan Rus' was a loose federation of East Slavic, Baltic, and Finnic peoples in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century,[4][5] under the reign of the Rurik dynasty,

founded by the Varangian prince Rurik.[5] The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors,[6] with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it. The Rurik dynasty would continue to rule parts of Rus' until the 16th century with the establishment of the Tsardom of Russia.[7]

At its greatest extent, in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east,[8][9] uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.[4]

So we see what later became Ukraine was part of Russia before the Communist USSR was established.
