Boris Rozhin, a Russian military journalist catches CNN in a Big lie:
[ColonelCassad] Exposing a fake from CNN about a concentration camp for political prisoners in Belarus.
As it turned out, CNN identified a missile and artillery arsenal for the concentration camp.
On the other hand, if there were no "political prisoners" there, this does not mean that they were not there! All the prisoners had already been taken out into the forest in cars with the sign "Bread" in a day, they were shot and dug in there.
Until all archives are open, we are entitled to any assumptions!
But seriously, just think about who they think of those for whom such wonderful "investigations" are designed.

[REGNUM] The decision of the Court of Arbitration against the Russian athletes turned out to be politically motivated to a certain extent. This was announced on August 6 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Do they like Tchaikovsky's music more than Alexandrov? Let them listen to Tchaikovsky's music, ”Putin said.
“The decision of the Arbitration Court of Sports still has a political connotation to a certain extent. When we talk about doping, then - there has always been such a world practice - we mean the attitude of a particular athlete to this. Wine is always individual," he said.
According to Putin, this does not affect the level of performance of Russian athletes, who "in the best way prove that attempts to politicize sports are insignificant, senseless, and even harmful."
[AnNahar] The leaders of five Central Asian countries gathered for talks in Turkmenistan on Friday, with the spiral of war in neighboring Afghanistan topping their agenda as US-led forces lave the country.
The talks in the Caspian Sea town of Avaza come as the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... challenges Afghan government forces in several large cities after weeks of gains in the countryside, including in provinces next to the three former Soviet 'stans' that border the country -- Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Turkmen president Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov called Afghanistan "the question that worries all of us" on Wednesday as state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
showed him receiving his Tajikistan counterpart Emomali Rakhmon for bilateral talks ahead of the summit.
Russia, meanwhile, was involved in joint military drills close to Afghanistan's borders in both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as a top Kremlin military official flew into the region Thursday to observe the exercises and hold talks.
Fighting in Afghanistan's long-running conflict began to intensify in May, when US and other foreign forces began the withdrawal due to be completed later this month.
In June, the Taliban captured Afghanistan's main crossing with Tajikistan, Shir Khan Bandar, while Kabul's troops have been forced to retreat into both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in recent weeks during heavy fighting with the group.
The Taliban has insisted that it has no designs on Central Asia, and has established official contacts with both Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan as it casts itself as a government-in-waiting.
But analysts argue that a growing security vacuum in the country can pose its own threat to Central Asia, as well as the region's growing economic cooperation with Kabul.
Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian military's General Staff, arrived in Uzbekistan for talks Thursday, and to observe military drills that are expected to wrap up next week.
During a meeting with Uzbek counterpart Shukhrat Khalmukhamedov, Gerasimov said the drills took place "to practice actions to repel terrorist threats".
"The main threat to the Central Asian region today comes from the Afghan direction," Gerasimov said, noting that Moscow was increasing its supplies of weapons to the region.
The annual summit being held in Avaza is a rare instance of the Central Asian states convening for talks without powers from outside the region, such as Russia, China or the United States.
