In reply to the discussion: Bellingcat claims Russia faked MH17 evidence to accuse Ukraine [View all]reorg
(3,317 posts)2. Dumb propaganda
First: it's not "news" when someone repeats a false claim they made months, if not years ago already.
Second: it's not true that 'Russia' has 'accused Ukraine' of killing the passengers of that plane.
It is, however, absolutely true that 'independent investigators', who - in contrast to the 'group' referred to in the OP - actually have expertise in relevant fields, namely a German airline pilot (Peter Haisenko) and a former military officer with extensive expertise on Russian missile systems (Bernd Biedermann), have dismissed the Buk theory as inconsistent with the available evidence. They believe MH17 was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter plane.
But feel free to continue promoting the chubby little liar.

So our only choices are a "chubby little liar" or some pilot and DIY "expert"?

There are no unbiased sites. Zippo, none. We are on our own out here. Nobody to trust.
