Today we can be sure of two things: that the sun will rise in the morning, and that the European viewer will be cut off from the new Russia Today TV channels.
The Federal Republic of Germany is the absolute economic and political leader of Europe.
The main moral authority and core of all supranational organizations west of our borders.
Whatever happens in and around Russia, German leaders are calling Vladimir Putin and rushing to voice their concerns.
Freedom of speech and media activity is declared by Germany as a fundamental principle of the social order.
Another, undeclared principle is obvious to everyone - it is hypocrisy.
The situation with the ban on the broadcasting of the German-language TV channel RT DE is another confirmation of this.
The hypocrisy of the leaders of European countries has become a commonplace.
I am amazed that our Foreign Ministry has not lost heart in negotiations.
From YouTube, which turned off two RT DE channels on the first day, everything is clear: whatever the Americans do, they call it containment of Russia.
The Germans decided to keep up - even before the launch of our TV channel, they were very frightened and did everything to stop the transmission of the RT DE signal.
The reputation of other TV channels Russia Today - to go against the mainstream and give an alternative point of view on international events - they are categorically not happy with.
The regulation of the fifth estate - journalism - cancels all the fundamental principles spelled out in key documents of the EU and Germany itself.
And believe me, the decision to block our German-language TV channel sends a clear message to local journalists.
They now understand a priori: if you say something contrary to the official point of view, you will finish your work.
In this sense, the situation with the ban on RT DE is a real marker of what is happening.
Over the past years, we have seen how international agreements are being embroidered.
Practically all of Russia's initiatives to create a common economic space and strengthen continental security are being brought to the satisfaction of the very containment of our country.
Only now, without Russia, without taking into account our interests, without the opportunity to convey our point of view to the citizens of European states, there will be neither security nor genuine and mutually beneficial cooperation.
RT DE journalists are included in the list of the most serious threats to the stability of Germany.
The TV channel is seriously afraid.
This is both funny and status.
I am sure, upon learning about this, a large number of sane citizens will find RT DE resources on the Internet.
And they will trust them even more - action is equal to opposition, right?
