Are we to witness another stand-off - or will it be averted? The relations between Russia and the West seem to be stuck at dead-end, so is there hope common ground will emerge between the two? We ask these questions to the man who prides himself on ending the Cold War, the last leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev,
Mainstream media and the Clinton wingnuts want you to fear the Russian invasion. Did you know you can watch RT on YouTube. Maybe if Hillary is elected she can ban them in the name of protecting America from this influence. Censorship in the name of freedom.

Social media clutched its collective pearls after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump did a phone interview with Larry King that aired on RT America.

To get his take, legal and media analyst Lionel of LionelMedia joins RT America’s Manila Chan.

In a rare showing of bipartisanship, the House of Representatives unanimously passed the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. This after the Senate passed the bill earlier this year, also unanimously. So will the bill allowing the families of victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue the Saudi government for damages become law? It still has one major hurdle to go through, as RT America’s Anya Parampil reports.
