It is just confirmation of what was clear to disinterested observers from the very start.

I agree with you Mr. Parry, in particular, had disgraced himself in this matter and in commentary on events in Ukraine in general. He is hardly alone but most of his fellows already had solid reputations as cranks and loons and fools, or simply paid shills.

Do not expect this to shut any of them up, however....
