For example, victims of an alleged chemical attack who were recorded arriving in hospital before the alleged attack actually took place. Something slightly odd about that imo.

Perhaps in this case the blade thingy of the bulldozer was bigger than the actual church, just to be safe.
They had lots of details like, oh, hundreds of photographs of heaps of bodies and hundreds of thousands of human bones, but you could be right, the whole thing might have been made up by the West just to make Putin look bad, or something.
