But if the Russians were screaming bloody murder, this would no doubt be used to accuse them. So:

Russians screaming bloody murder => see? Russians are the ones who did it.

Russians aren't screaming bloody murder => see? Russians are the ones who did it.

Not at all. Russia didn't scream bloody murder for MH17, or for innocent Russian citizens being poisoned abroad.

They did scream bloody murder, for example, when Ukraine had the gall to fight back and raid ammo stores in Belgorod.

Well said. The idea that we could tell who did this by analyzing the poker faces of the various suspects is pretty fantastical.

This ignores the reasoning you are responding to in that they have patterns.

Governments, in modern parlance even though it's not new practice, troll each other - Russia in particular specializes in a particularly spiteful kind, so where is it now?

That's a very well expected and deserved consequence of being pathological liars.
