The most moved I have been in reading at Russia Today was when a young woman wrote in from a small village in Russia and said that RT was for "western" people, and not Russian people primarily. This made me sad and I decided to not come to RT again and post. This I have planned to be my past time here in honor of the Russian people who do not have a voice even to this day, how shameful. First, Putin needs to get a sense of humor because this is the test for a high intelligence in the human being and without it, there is no knowing GOD: "To love God you must love the two things closest to this - change and a joke." Next he needs to understand (AS A "MARTIAL ARTIST?") the energy of STRESS is a mandatory to cultivate ("alchemy") subtle energy - tension is invisible, but it is not "unseen." DISTRESS is the tipping point of stress and yes, terrorism has been distressful for every human who breathes the breath of life. Tension of energy as an ebb and flow in the cultivating of subtle energy via the composting of gross, is the key to being a martial artist of refined vibrations wherein the unseen becomes seen as balance rather than chaos.

Yes Putin has done a great job on the military front to beat these criminal cowards. In fact we are actually seeing the results through these attrocities. These criminal cowards are beaten militarily, so now they have to pick soft targets in the form of civilians. So our present sorrow is a result of our military success. But now there is a new dawn, with them defeated militarily, the government has done the big shove, now its up to us people to finish the job, with the government help. Now enable us as people to finish that job with you, give us the call centres, allow our phones to give you instant intelligence, allow us to help you. Together people and government as one we can beat this. There will be more sorrow to come, more deaths, more maiming from these criminal cowards, but we will face it, don't put us in a prison to protect us, for we as people can take the pain, give us access to our swords men, so we can speak into their ears. Then they will cut these criminal cowards from this earth, and all the time we will walk free. We will lose dear friends along the way, but we will gain a future and freedom all the way.

@Biloxi, you are going to change you whole worldy view based upon an opinion of a woman in a Russian village based on her view of this news company? That's odd, since it is for Western people as it is in English primarily. It is, in my view, Russia's view on world events, the Western views, and mixed with some Russian news. It gives people a chance to voice their complaints about Russia so that it can improve. Leaving it, does no good. Write RT directors and ask them to do civil stories in Russia if you desire. I am sure they'd happily air some time in Prime Time Russia section.

I was not going to post again, just reading Putin's new presentation to the world and was wondering about this when there I am posted and did not think that RT would, just sent in the writing to say my final ado, but then here you are Artyom saying what you have. Yes I would take a Russian woman from a small village and honor her. You bet since this is the proletariat verses the vanguard. The deal is - Putin and Medvedev as well as Lavrov appear to me to be truly sane human beings and I genuinely HOPE that they can CHANGE the planet and its direction from its backwards spiral which has been ongoing for far too long in MODERN TIMES. Ah come on can we begin to be telling the real truth now? No, the leaders of the world (Putin, et al.) are too certain (vanguards) of the powers such as GEORGE W. BUSH (let us fact the fact that Putin and GWB were always in this time discussing the NWO, all along) who can pull the plug on trillions of dollars since he is the one who has been chosen to do what these so-called leaders of the free world do: cannibalism. We sane should rein in the cannibals and yet we do not because leaders with the intelligence of Medvedev, Putin and Lavrov continue to be in the OLD THINKING about "money." Time for either new brains or leaders, we must come to some decisions BILLIONS of brains and not depend upon just a few vanguard "intellects" over workers with an idea of what it is worth in value: the breath of breathing life simply because we have the unalienable right. RT CONTINUES TO SELL GLOBAL WARMING WHEN THE CHEMICALS IN OUR AIR, WATER AND FOOD CONTINUE TO BE SOLD AS THOUGH THE PLANET IS WARMING. Hmmmm, perhaps this is why I feel so frustrated with RT -- same as American news and this is where we can all know who Putin is, in his works as a martial artist AND CHI when refined is not at all afraid of the whole truth.

Now, since we have easer worldwide communications' tools; will it be possible that Mr Putin who is the most credible actual leader have a questions and answers' cession with peoples from the whole World. This may not please others but it is to bad for them. We are now faced with planetary problems to solve and we need decisions' maker who have a global vision (not clowns like our Sarkonaparte). Being the initiator of the program, I shall ask the first question (something which I mention desperatly for many years). When will an honest, credible and sincere leader expose the true facts of the Worldwide military spending and what could be accomplished with the reconversion of that whole industry. I am convinced that the future could be bright in your country and even suggest to young frenchmen who are scared for their avenir to learn russian. God bless Russia and her leaders. Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

Why does RT not solicit comments and information on the everyday lives of poor and working Russian people. These people are Russia. Most people don't care about the rich and famous Russians as much as we do about the average people. The Western media keeps us bombarded with the Hollywood sleaze and political dogma. It would be good to learn about ordinary people and how they live in Russia. Working Americans probably have a lot in common with working Russians, in small towns, rural areas and cities. We all work hard and pay taxes so the wealthy can stay wealthy. I respect a low income worker more than someone who has a net worth of more than sixty billion dollars. When it is all over, the billionaire cannot take his huge wealth with him. This is why the hearse does not have a car top carrier.
