Top 10 Russophobes of 2018: See who made RT's prestigious list this year

The Atlantic Council describes itself as a non-partisan think-tank, anyone else with eyes and the ability to read describes it as NATO. Yep, this NATO funded group of 'thinkers' spends its time fighting what it calls Russian propaganda, by spewing out propaganda all of its own. A prime example of the expertise it offers comes in the form of Ben Nimmo, a 'Digital Forensic Research Analyst', which is a fancy way of saying he gets paid to read Twitter. His specialism includes incorrectly identifying 'Kremlin trolls' and refusing to admit he's wrong when they turn out to be retired British pensioners with a non-mainstream view of the world.
Basically, if you spot an anti-Russia "analyst" in the media, there's a very good chance you'll find them on the Atlantic Council's payroll as well.


10. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 

 A surprise entry to many. Sure he's jumped on the bandwagon and made the usual allegations of meddling and election interference against Russia saying it faces "real consequences," but then again, who hasn't this year. The thing is though, Trudeau literally pretends to like everyone and everything, so from him that kind of criticism really hurts.
