Well, since Putin orchestrated the bombing of four apartment buildings in Russia that killed 300 people and injured more than 1000, it's not too much of stretch to conclude that he wouldn't be too beat up about killing thousands of puppies, and may even enjoy it.
Definitely maybe. They also launched a few wars in Chechnya along the way, which may have influence folks view.
Maybe because NATO realized that the Russian army was inept, so didn't want anything to do with them.
Why didn't Russia apply to NATO after undertaking years of co-operative steps towards membership?

This was effectively responded to already earlier in the thread.
The RT website is available in many places. Because banning internet sites is particularly bad optics. But mostly because it is difficult and pointless. They have been trying to shut down The Pirate Bay for 20 years.
RT broadcast was/is blocked EU, the United States, and Canada. And the RT app was blocked worldwide by two large American corporations (Apple and Google), except in Russia.
The American RT bureau was under US government-imposed restrictions prior to the Ukraine conflict.
After the Ukraine Conflict, RT broadcast was blocked by large American organizations with significant US-Government ties. This prompted the RT bureau in the US to close permanently.
A bill expressly outlawing RT became unnecessary as the dirty work was done by a co-operative or co-opted private sector. Otherwise, it certainly would have been banned.
None of this supports a statement that "The U.S. is not blocking RT".
Trust this clarifies things for another week.

Have you realized you were wrong about Russia's missile strike on a train station yet? Or do you still believe that without any evidence?
Here's what was was stated...
"Examining motive and opportunity, it seems more probable than not to me that the Ukraine side intentionally launched missiles as a false flag operation.
...I could be wrong and may change my opinion as more information becomes available. I am not jumping to conclusions, I am making them and remaking them."
So no conclusive or immutable stance was taken regarding which side fired the missile (or missiles) causing casualties at the Kramatorsk train station.
What was provided was qualified opinion on what seemed more probable based on limited information, ascribed motive, and resultant beneficial and detrimental consequence.
I am still not aware of new information being made available. Just lots of finger-pointing rhetoric.

I can go to RT.com and read RT's latest news as I speak.
Only boomers watch broadcast TV.
RT is absolutely not blocked but very much appreciate your wild attempts to make Russia appear the victim here. The surest sign that Ukraine is winning.

I say, Old Bean, do not conflate literacy with sesquipedalianism.
As a news writer, I was told to dumb it down to a sixth-grade readership.
I hoped for more.

Moving the goal posts.
This is the precipitating statement; "The US, Canada, and EU are blocking RT and other sources it subjectively deems 'disinformation'."

Keep defending Putin with your hypocritical rants about press freedom and censorship. Reality seems to be leaving you far behind.

And, it seems more probable than not to me, that Putin has fun killing puppies. I mean, I'm just stating my opinion based on available information. Do you have any sources that say that Putin doesn't kill puppies for fun (or otherwise)?
Just because you couch a statement as a qualified opinion doesn't make your claims any less idiotic.

RT is banned on multiple media platforms. In dozens of countries. Affecting hundreds of millions of people and devices.
But it is not banned? Because you can visit a website?
You cannot understand the difference between widespread ban and total ban?
How is stating plain facts a "wild attempt to make Russia appear the victim"?
And how would that be the "surest sign that Ukraine is winning"?
There's quantum-level uncertainty in that reasoning.

Quantum-level uncertainty is literally a very small amount of uncertainty, as I'm sure you're aware.

ad hominem fallacy. try again.
I assume Ernest was the captain of his high school debate team, pre-law at someplace mediocre, then law school at a middling state school (University of Oklahoma perhaps). When he didn't pass the bar he became a new writer, probably at RT. That's why he gets so defensive about it not being banned, despite losing his job.

Not even close.
At quantum levels, causality breaks down and definitive states can be indeterminate and unknowable.
That and making sense of that isn't so different from posts hereabouts.

Refuting an observation that your posts lack maturity and logic - by posting an immature response devoid of fact and logic ?

It is painfully simple.
If they were not there to see it and they did not fire it off how would they know what kind of missile it was before anyone else tried to identify it?
I knew instantly when they made that announcement that they did it.
