What a change to hear this. Instead we now have continuing packs of lies and evidence-free accusations from unrelenting, irrational Russia-haters in the USA and the UK, among others, with no attempt whatsoever to even listen to alternative views. “Highly likely” is used instead of any facts, and any countering words or facts are dismissed, ignored or vilified. I am nearly in despair about the recent farce in the UK (the Skripals seem now to be kidnapped!!) and to find this is believed, and the “gas attack by the evil Assad” in Douma, where the NATO members of the OPCW investigation team in the Hague refused even to listen to the witnesses including the boy “hosed” by the White Helmets whose support for the overthrow of Assad’s government has long been supported by the USA/UK.
