This news clip from Al Jazeera English has some interesting and frankly conspirational interviews regarding the recent EU-Russia summit in Siberia – the type of commentary you’d be unlikely to find on CNN. The tired, old double standards argument gets thrown out left and right. This is not the first time we have seen Russia get a free pass on human rights and authoritarianism simply for the fact that abuses have been committed in places like Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. Conservative pundit John Laughland appears to reside on an entire other planet in this interview.
