Russia Times is not a good source of news about Russia or China.Of course not. It isn't going to say anything critical of those. But it's reporting on the western world is pretty solid.
So, yes it has a bias. But no, that doesn't affect the honesty of its reporting on the West.

Well. the U.S. is bringing freedom and joy to Venezuela. Don't you know?
This is a repeat of the British Empire which murdered hundreds of millions of people, robbed the survivors blind, and sent its own children into factories for pennies a day and 15 hour work days.
British workers who suffered as much as any from the greed and brutality of their capitalists were taught (and believed) that this was all God's will and symbolic of the greatness of Britain and or BG - British Greatness. Yes. Trump's MAGA motto is a sucker's game which has worked for centuries.
The U.S. is bringing democracy to Venezuela. How can people be so stupid as to believe that. Far from bringing democracy to Latin America, the U.S. has spent over a century killing at least hundreds of thousands of Latin American who wanted democracy.In that process, it murdered at least 200,000 in Guatemala alone. But our news media have never bothered to mention that. It set up dictatorships (and supports them) all over the continent - something like its good friends in Brazil and Chile and Guatemala and Haiti (where it destroyed democracy. Didn't you notice? Didn't your newspaper have a mention of it - perhaps in the sports section?)
No. Americans, the British before them, believe in a history that tells them they were doing God''s work. (And Canadians should be embarrassed at the role being played by their wimpy prime minster.)
Led by some of the greediest and most brutal people this earth has known, Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and the U.S; have unleashed horrors that make Hitler look like a Salvation Army drummer. And, oh, we've blamed God for it all.
And you're prepared to support that greed? Good luck - because they also and increasingly are taking out that greed on us.

I believe I ran this one once before. I'm repeating it because i have a little to add.
https://lfpress.com/opinion/columnists/dyer-trump-may-satisfy-base-with-partial-border-wall
On any night, over half a million Americans are homeless. They are sleeping outside in the winter. They have only the food they can beg for. Large numbers of these homeless are children.
The proportion is similar to Canada. There are also more - many more - living in vile, dangerous, unhealthy conditions.
And Canada and the U.S. aren't doing a damn thing about it.
So why is the U.S; getting all excited about spending billions for its border/ The number of migrants is actually down steeply from previous years. Nor is there the slightest reason to believe that significant numbers of them are criminals and drug dealers. Why the panic for one but not for the other/
Naziism 101 - Many, many people are racist. Appeal to their racism and you win elections. Sieg Heil.
And very, very few give a damn about the poor. So there are no votes to be gained by helping them.
Recently, Canadian TV carried pictures of native Canadians living in a northern wilderness. There "houses" are really one-room boxes made of plywood with no windows or insulation.
(What's that, Mr. Irving? you need two billions dollars from the government to 'create jobs' in one of your factories/ Right away, Mr. Irving.
(Mr. Irving is a Canadian billionaire. He lives in a nice house.)

Don't believe those scientists. I mean, what do they know? We have the word of real smart oil billionaires like Mr Irving,who sent to college for two years, and politicians like Donald Trump and Doug Ford. And some real smart truckers who drive real BIG trucks in their caravan from the Canadian oil fields to Ottawa. I mean, they know things.
Let the good times roll!

This next item came as a surprise to me. Perhaps it shouldn't have. Canadian soldiers have been sent to kiss American rear ends before. We sent Canadians to Haiti when the U.S. overthrew its elected government. And, of course, we are close to a similar role in Venezuela.
Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

This is the American part of the story above it.
let's see, now.
1. Haiti had an elected government
2. The U.S; that lover of democracy, overthrew it and installed a dictator..
3. Canada sent "peacekeepers" - American flunkies.
4. The U.S. now has to save its dictator. So it sent troops.
5. And Canada sent troops to help the Americans.
6. And Canada never told the Canadian people what it had done.
7. And Canada's news media thought it wasn't important to tell us.
An attachment to the U.S. has long since ceased to make any sense for Canada. But it makes sense for Canadian billionaires. And Justin Trudeau knows who keeps him in power.
Too bad Canadian voters can spell only Liberal and Conservative.

Well, that's nice. But that's just one in the mass of mps who are corrupt or simple-minded. And, in fairness, who are sometimes both corrupt and simple-minded.

The U.S. has been a Happy supplier of weapons and active participation for a Saudi Arabia which is arguably the most brutal regime in the world. The American press reacted in horror when the Saudis murdered a journalist. But it soon forgot its pique, and the U.S. is now offering its useful help starve children to death - as a sort of favour to its good friends among the Saudis.
This is added to the millions, a high proportion of them children, it has killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and any other place that has children to kill.
God bless America.

So much for the Christian principles of the Democrats, of most Americans and, indeed, for almost all the churches in the world.

That's from the King James version of The Bible. But in today's America, Jesus would be an oil baron.

I can still see myself that day in 1945. I had been sent home for being late for school. And hour later, I was downtown with my mother on streets swarming with joy. The war was over! My father was coming home!
But even more....
We have been prepared for a new world one without wars. We would have a sort of world government - as in the UN - and the nations would work together. There would be no more wars - and that was reinforced by a big sign that said "We've won the war". That was great. "We've won the war. Now we've got to win the piece." The sign sent a thrill through me.
But we never did it. Many of us never even tried. From the day that the war ended we were all separate and in competition for money and power. We were back at war immediately as Britain tried to force itself back on its withered empire. By 1950, the US was at war with China in the Korean War. And that one was pure greed. The U.S. wanted to recapture the shattered empire of China that had largely been British. By the time I was 14, some of my older friends had already fallen in Korea.
Britain, the U.S., France were probably world leaders in war at the start of the post-war wars. The U.S., in particular, has been at war almost every year since that day World War Two ended.
The UN would never become the centre of a world order that we would all share. instead, it became the old world of struggle, greed, conquest.....
We won the war. Maybe. But we lost the peace.
We never did establish a world of mutual help and cooperation. (And capitalism has been a major factor in our failure to establish such a world.)
Now? We are probably looking at our last chance. And i see no sign we are even thinking about it.
