The recent appointment of Michael McFaul as US ambassador to Russia was seen by many as Washington showing favor toward the opposition. In a frank conversation with RT McFaul asserted that the US does not finance either the opposition or Putin.

Who wrote this headline! McFaul was never accused of funding Vladimir Putin’s election campaigns and Russia does not need the bankrupt U.S to fund its elections! McFaul and Hillary ( the U.S State Dept) did give money to Golos and the fact show this to be the case. So why the spin about not funding about Putin’s election! McFaul is a master spinner and this interview is nothing more than a spin which seeks to insert him into the Russian elections! How cheap for RT to allow McFaul to make such a brazened comment about the internal affairs of Russia! This guy is not qualified to be an Ambassador- he simply lack the proper training for it.

on the people listenings face.  McFaul is a good guy.  He just gets a bad rep because Russians have a grand illusion of controlling everything for everyone.

the kind of TV you guys watch Russia so you don't really have to be worried about us.  We know how you train the rest of the Russians.  So it makes us not trusting of you.  esp when you read the zionist BS down here in the comments and we see you trying to start a war with the US proxy Iran and hate statements in business meetings.

I know the physics and I know the physics well, he said, well, we all know you cannot cheat the law of physics, but you can cheat the law of the judicatory. America proved many times it cannot be trusted with this one. Watch this guy very closely especially to whom his money going. In Egypt, NGO members have been arrested.

To those of you who would want to know what he's talking about "GBM." It's basically a defense for ICMBs with multiple warheads, though I can say its also a defense against semi-ballistic missiles which are hyper-sonic, only when the warheads separate do they decrease in spead.

The idea here is not to try and make sense or be rational, but to engage in a massive smear campaign of lies, hatred and false charges.  It feels good to put these Americans in their place, even if our arguments are complete nonsense.

Points I got from that:

1. Interviewer is very competent.

2. For a political analyst he didn’t have very good answers for lots of questions.

3. At least he admitted openly that He/the admin openly Fund NGO’s to overthrow governments that the US does not approve of.

4. “it’s a Question of Physics” ha, this is the old “If you can’t answer it confuse it” it’s the basics of political science -

the answer -

“Physics can and will change.”
“So based on Physics your Administration wouldn’t mind Russian Missiles in South America?”

5.  “We don’t believe it’s a main issue” - We don’t think loading eastern EU states with missiles is a main issue for the US and Russia , Even,  you know, if you think it is.

6. Russian NGO’s aren’t funding Ron Paul’s campaign either you arrogant fool.

7. WTO couldn’t have existed in the future without Russia, because of the mutual contract and relationship that Russia would have in the future with China and other BRIC countries, and everyone even simple citizens like I knew it.

If he wasn’t a well trained LIAR he wouldn’t have risen to that post in the first place to begin with, nor he would’ve been sent as ambassador particularly to the arch rival Russia. Plenty of their ambassadors already have been expelled from L America for exactly the same reasons - already quite famous with that.

We do it around the world and we do it here,” the ambassador said.

 

Yes it is true. But it true that , those organizations are not democratic, only follows  US  interests. And US  Interests are not  democratic.
US  interests are  powers in foreign  country and their economy .

Mc Fail is  transparent he can not nothing hide.
Everybody  already knows  US policy .

US would gain more when they would be  freed from Jews and have not been  military  agressive.
World with war is not any  world . World is not exist.


 World  Without   war is  world for  Russians  and their  friends.

 

When I would be americans I would being strive to be a friend of  Russians.

Does anyone else think "Jews" or Zionists" aren't really the cause? In my opinion, couldn't it be "Plain ol' Greed" which fuels people with a(n) economic interest(s)/mindset? It is also in my opinion that corrupt private organizations from a system that allows corruption, which have an influence in politics, could led to such developments?

No, it's called Capitalism. Everyone has a chance at becoming wealthy but the already wealthy ones are so wealthy that they can crush small competition. In doing so, they also become large enough to influence other things.

McFaul's double talk.  He is used to talking rubbish to the American audiences.  Russians are much wiser than the Holywood educated gullible Americans.
My dear Russians, never again should you trust the Zionists for they have caused millions of deaths, destruction, robbery and humiliation in Russia. They are still tirelessly working at the destruction of your great society.

I also pray to God that you people at the RT want get infected by the deadly American J-virus.
