The "WW3" documentary is rather amusing, as we apparently use a long range SAM to engage a helicopter from Russian territory rather than local separatists acquiring MANPADS from whatever source they do.

But, yes, it is about projecting the perceptions of Ukrainian crisis onto poor Baltics.

Regarding the media - there is a negative bias. I remember it from Sochi olympics, when western reporters came, they came to report negative developments, not to report what was actually there. The cause for such bias is not a command by some evill state authority - it is the result of their own (biased) reporting in the past.

As to the airliner, do you imply that Russian Armed Forces shot down the poor MH17?
