          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.

            The only sources you would accept are shit from CIA cutouts and pro western media anyway so what is the point?

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

                Examining the preponderance of evidence and coming to the most reasonable conclusion isn’t a conspiracy theory bud.

                  When I said “either or”, I really meant it.

              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.
