My punishment for not towing the “party line” – simple, effective “shunning” by Western media – has not, however, diminished my ongoing commitment to seeing the other side.

By Andrew KORYBKO (USA)

It should be evident to all objective observers by now that “America First” doesn’t equate to international isolationism or peace.
