The State department spokesman Mark Toner welcomed "the important findings" of the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) presented on Tuesday, briefing journalists that the Dutch report "validated" the US theory that the Malaysia-bound flight carrying nearly 300 passengers was downed "by a BUK surface-to-air missile" from "separatist-controlled territory."
"The unintelligible babbling we have to read constantly simply aims at, on one hand, confusing, and on the other hand - to form a desired public opinion, which could effectively be called propaganda," Russia's Foreign Ministry's spokesperson said at a media briefing in Moscow. Maria Zakharova pointed out that merely days after the MH17 tragedy, the US rushed to present the public with its assessment of "not the results, but the causes of the Malaysian Boeing tragedy."
Foreign Ministry's spokesperson stressed that the US confirmed their position "long before" the Dutch report was published.
The adjustment of beliefs and results of the investigation has unfortunately become "commonplace, notably not only with the Malaysian Boeing issue, but with other subjects as well," Zakharova said.
Comment: The mush for brains in Washington are running out of effective propaganda. The timing of the new report along with the distortion of its findings should give Westerners a moment of pause as the world watches Russia take down the United States' terror proxies in Syria. Furthermore, Russia has offered their satellite data and has offered other evidence but was refused. Yet, the US hasn't provided anything at all to support their narrative. Unsubstantiated beliefs that 'just so happen' to coincide with Washington's paranoid and backwards strategy to 'contain' Russia doesn't cut it.
