Your daily dose of RT-propaganda:

https://deutsch.rt.com/meinung/48464-kontroverse-um-impfkritischen-film-vaxxed/
Anti-Vaxxers are the oppressed minority, who are just trying to go by the best possible scientific evidence. Their opponents are dogmatic and boneheaded violent extremists something-something-something NATO.

https://deutsch.rt.com/inland/48627-blick-in-zukunft-deutschlands-paramilitarische/
Germany's police is getting better weapons and vehicles to fight terrorists. That makes them a paramilitary force, which is evil.
(Russia already has a paramilitary national guard to fight terrorists, but that's somehow not evil.)

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/383142-trump-putin-democrats-us-russia/
Stupid Democrats are crowdsourcing their investigations to corroborate the Christopher Steele dossier. Because there's absolutely no shady Trump-Russia connection and the Democrats are hysterical xenophobes for even investigating that.

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/383291-syria-kurdish-balkanization-us-forces/
Evil US wants to balkanize Syria. The proof is a speech from the 1980s by Henry Kissinger.
(The author somehow doesn't know where the term "balkanization" comes from: There was a bloody civil-war in the Balkans in the 1990s. The country Yugoslavia was split up into several smaller countries by NATO to prevent those people from killing each other. It's really weird that nobody on RT has ever heard of that war, despite all their NATO-bashing.)

"Balkanization" actually comes from the early 20th century; the breakup of the former Ottoman territory of the Balkan peninsula into several small and generally politically unstable states over the century or so since the Greek war of independence (Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, etc).

You see these themes echoing in various places. The support of the anti-Vaxxers seems to be an economical form of biowarfare, convincing citizens to create disease outbreaks on their own.
