Clearly PNAC 2.0 have been planning a campaign to return to hostile US-Russia relations for some time.

In fact so far, the foreign policy situation seems this:

UK/Australia/Canada/NZ: keep on a short leash, transform the economies into US style ones, destroy welfare/health systems
Europe: as above or use as a battleground
Central and South America: install dictators to reap resources
Middle East/Central Asia: as above and/or invade (apart from USS Israel and Saudi Arabia, of course)
East Asia: Japan as UK/Canada, rest as South America
India: scare them away from trade with Russia and China: buy them off by Balkanising Pakistan
China and Russia: Cold War, encircle,

That, after perusing their literature is more or less what they describe as "U.S. Interests"

If you heard what she said when she resigned, the most optimistic slant that you can possibly put on it is that she's clueless.

If you look up what she's been doing since interning at fox news and the opinion some folks have about RT then that actually makes sense.
They're young, good looking but basically clueless. Then again, isn't that the ideal sort of person you'd want reading the auto cue?

(a) people who have got no idea, and genuinely believe that they're saying;
(b) people who are capable of understanding what's going on, but consider their career far more important;
(c) people who are intelligent and genuine.

I suppose you could also say there is another group of people who have a bit of an idea that what they're doing is false and fraudulent, but don't really understand what's going on properly. Obviously it goes without saying that the smallest group is (c)! The media whether RT or otherwise is full of (a) and (b). There have been a couple on RT, Lauren Lyster and Alyona Minkovski, who did some good stuff while they were there, but now they've just moved on to Yahoo and HuffPost respectively and are generally doing the hackiest stuff imaginable, still as bright as a button every day.







It's just empty words to these people to get them onto the next rung on the ladder. I suppose I can't blame them if they live in New York, it's the only way you can survive!

It's a shame that someone like Abby who is obviously genuine, and also obviously extremely attractive, sort of gets lumped in with them.
