Seems that Movistar (Telefónica) Spain is blocking rt.com

I had to use my ASN that is IPv6-only

Yeah sorry buddy. The west really does not like RT, for obvious reasons lol.

I think they meant it in a friendly way, in this case. They should clarify though.

And with good reason. Should extend to American newspapers too though.

I actually really like RT. It's significantly better than anything in my country.

I guess US bases will go away then

RT… so is the angle to drive a wedge between US and allies, I guess?

It's good to have a critical understanding of RT's viewpoints. In this case, like the other user said, it's Trump driving his own wedge (per usual), so ofc RT will run an article on it.
