Let's ruminate why this report IS important:
Perhaps you don't remember the disinformation campaign put on by the Russians explaining that the Jetliner was hit by an Air to Air Missile that was shot from a Ukrainian plane? Or the host of other excuses the Russians continued to come up with to point the finger in different directions?
Maybe you don't remember the picture of the BUK leaving Ukraine that had been photo shopped to indicate that it wasn't really in the area where the plane came down but somewhere 100 Kilometers away? Or the claims by the Russians and rebels that they did not have any BUKs in theater.
And perhaps you don't remember the social media posts by Russian supported rebels trumping the destruction of what they thought was a Ukrainian armed forces jet who have since disappeared into Russian jails on trumped up charges?
These deceptions from the Russians have been spoon fed into captive audiences. The Pravda article yesterday was the latest in artfully deceiving the captive Russian audience.
This is part of the Big Russian Lie that continues and will continue for as long as Putin or one of his cronies is in power. It is time for the world's media to hold Russia's feet to the fire. We have a double standard today: Russia, feeding the world lies through a captive media channel, and the rest of the world providing objective analysis and both sides of an issue. Russia's media will continue to create bigger and bigger lies. It is time to restrict those avenues of disinformation as a source of news.
I am in favor of holding a tribunal type event that would lay the lies of the Russian government in a world court for everyone to see, and then punishing the government for trying to cover up its misdeeds.
