    Sure the Turkish PM himself threatened to slap a protestor who booed him.

    He is heard saying "If you boo this country’s prime minister, you get slapped."

    Reminds me of that cop who pepper sprayed those students in America during some protests. He got $40k for the psychological trauma he suffered.

    Now don't be reading RT.com, it's not proper news just a tool of the Kremlin.
    For every 10 pieces they do, 2 are just pure propaganda.

    Russia Today reporting on political arrogance in foreign lands is amusing. Wonder what would happen if they looked closer to home.

    They would be ruthlessly censored I would imagine.

    The tentacles of the elites have always ensnared the production of information, the titillation of the masses distracts from their hubris!

    I for one welcome our new overlords!

    Lol, I think they're pretty efficient at the self-censorship, they quite literally work for the Kremlin. One of Putin's projects I believe.
