SPINNING THEIR WHEELS
This time last year, US and Russian diplomats were not talking at all. With the swearing in of Donald Trump as the 47th president, this changed. Walls that had previously separated Russians from Americans suddenly came tumbling down, and conversations—substantive, serious conversations—were suddenly the norm.
But talking in a vacuum is simply noise—in order for diplomacy to be viable, there must be actions attached to the spoken word.
Otherwise the machinery of diplomacy is simply spinning its wheels, going nowhere fast.
In this edition of The Russia House, I speak with Dmitri Polyansky, the Deputy Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, about the state of US-Russian relations from the perspective of the UN.

Outside the lovely Bolshoi Theater after attending RT’s 20th Anniversary Gala. A perfect evening with friends and colleagues from around the world celebrating the accomplishments of a media organization that is second to none. I look forward to the day US-Russian relations return to normal, and RT can resume its work in the US free from sanctions, just like every other media organization. A free press requires the press to be free.

An Historic night at the Restaurant of the House of Writers: I had the honor and privilege of participating in a wide ranging, substantive and important conversation about war and peace with General Apti Alaudinov, Steven Seagal, Larry Johnson, Anton Karpov (the CEO of the restaurant), Roman Meh (military correspondent), Konstatin Antipin (the Director of the Konseption publishing house), and Alexandra Madornaya, the producer of The Russia House.
I wish there was a way to have captured this moment so that the wisdom and insights it contained could be shared with the world—especially those who struggle with the issue of resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

THE SCUD HUNTERS: CHAPTER FOUR
The Battle of Riyadh
Israel had been hit hard by SCUDs for two straight days. Our turn came on January 20, when a total of eight SCUDs were launched against targets in Saudi Arabia, including four toward Riyadh. This feat was accomplished only by the tenacity and audacity of the men of the Al Hussein Force. Following the second strike against Israel, on the morning of January 19, General Ayoubi ordered that all launchers designated to participate in the planned attack on Saudi Arabia should return immediately to the filling and arming site at Ramadi, where they would be loaded with a combat ready missile before proceeding south.

Trump advisors 'know NOTHING about Russia' — Ritter on RT's Rick Sanchez
'Why insult Russia by implying they're willing to give up their territory?'
Kherson, Zaporozhye & Donbass 'constitutionally' Russian
Even 'Putin has no authority to give away Russia to anybody'

REFLECTION ON AN EVENT LIKE NO OTHER
RT's 20th Anniversary Gala wasn't just a celebration of truth. It was an incubator of intellectual reflection on the world we live in.
I’m sitting in Vnukovo airport waiting to board the flight that begins my journey home from what has been the most mind-blowing five days imaginable.

Richard Branson is ignorant of the reality of the Budapest Memorandum.
The Budapest Memorandum is not an ironclad agreement; it is a non-legally binding political document that provides security assurances, not legally enforceable guarantees.
The Budapest Memorandum is not a treaty and did not reflect any new international legal obligations for any of the signatory States. Rather, the Memorandum was meticulously drafted to avoid giving any impression of legal obligation.
And by seeking to join NATO, Ukraine violated the commitments made in its 1992 Declaration of State Sovereignty.
Moreover, nothing protects Ukraine from the consequences of its actions. Russia intervened under Article 51 of the UN Charter, and as such acted lawfully.

RITTER'S RANT #61: IT'S TRUMP'S WAR NOW
By rejecting a meeting with Putin, selling weapons to Ukraine, and sanctioning Russian energy, Trump just took ownership of the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

THE GEORGIAN TABLE
Some Georgians, some Americans, and some Russians walk into a restaurant…
If this sounds like the set up to a classic joke, it isn’t.
It’s just the reality of Moscow, the capital city of Russia, which possesses some of the most vibrant and diverse nightlife in the world.

It’s interesting to watch a British information operation unfold.
“Keep Ukraine in the Fight” is a massive MI-6 psychological warfare operation that functions on a number of levels.
All of which require social media amplifiers like Anna.
People who have zero experience in anything except reading from a prepared script designed to push various talking points over and over again, as if through the very act of repetition they will become so.
It is said the perception creates its own reality, but this only is true about shaping opinions, not facts on the ground.
Ukraine is sacrificing thousands of men a day so British intelligence can have idiots like this woman push narratives that postulate a Ukrainian victory that only exists in her fertile imagination.
