You've reminded me of a question that's long required a better answer than I currently have: Who or what is Russia Today? Is it a genuine English-language product of Moscow, or a hybrid - Moscow with selective input from Washington? My strong suspicion is the latter, but I'd struggle to prove it.

Difficult to imagine a sentient adult with his experience not realising he was being used in this way?
Quote:Boom Boom Barry has got to be very sensitive about losing Afghanistan right now, so the Petraeus video and its unveiling should be interesting.
To topple the current Afghan leadership or not, that is their question...
