Graffiti


US embassy in Moscow sports RT logo

This is just the best. 

US embassy in Moscow sports RT logo

The facade of the US embassy in Moscow was lit up with a defiant message from RT on Thursday evening, as the Russian broadcaster informed the Americans that it is “not going away.”

The projected message reads “we’re not going away” in both English and Russian, with RT’s logo displayed underneath.

The diplomatic prank came after the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on RT and its parent companies earlier this month, accusing the network of being “engaged in covert influence activities… and functioning as a de facto arm of [Russian] intelligence.” The US Justice Department also filed criminal charges against two people it claimed worked for RT, accusing them of financing video content that sowed “discord and division” in the US.

In the weeks since the sanctions were announced, RT’s accounts were banned by Meta – which owns Facebook and Instagram – and TikTok.

I wonder how long before this blog gets sanctioned. Hopefully I'm too small to notice.
