A year on, official MH17 report adds nothing to the speculation of the first 12 hours

In July of 2014, all major media in the West were speculating that MH17 was brought down by a Russian missile. More than a year later, we have the so-called "official report" into the incident, and guess what?

Every "conclusion" remains speculative.

Since both sides in the Eastern Ukraine conflict use Russian missiles, inveighing that a Russian missile took down MH17 tells us absolutely nothing.

But what the report does tell us is this; that were the highest echelons of the US/NATO intelligence apparatus in possession of any scintilla of evidence whatsoever that Russian forces were behind this tragedy, such a fact would be trumpeted all over the headlines of every media platform in the West.

In fact, if such evidence existed it would have been trumpeted all over those news platforms a year ago.

The only thing this report proves is that NATO has no such evidence.
