    Source is RT straight from the mouth of the Russian Investigative Committee.

    Smells like pure Kremlin propaganda, tbh.

    Your unsourced claims seem completely legit and have absolutely convinced me…

            True. It was a lot shorter than typing “This is sourced, but RT is the media arm of the Kremlin and about as reliable as the National Enquirer. And definitely shouldn’t be trusted when russia stands to directly gain from painting ukraine as a bunch of terrorists. Especially when a known terrorist group has already said they did it.” though. YMMV.

                There isn’t. Either most people have bought into a conspiracy theory or you have. It makes communication kind of pointless.

                Not sure, you’re the one commenting at me, not the other way around. In any case, I’m out. Best of luck convincing people with RT though.

                What? No, the reason RT is bad is because it’s specifically Russian government bad. It’s like Qatar and Al-Jazeera, but even less distance.

                The problem is not that RT is not CIA controlled or that it’s not pro western, it’s that it’s literally one of the parties involved.

    You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t trust Russian state news reporting what the Russian investigative service says.

    RT is Russian controlled, this is like trusting All Jazeera saying “Qatar is good”

      Worse, actually, because Qatar at least tries to keep some distance. RT is Facts & Arguments but in English.
