> Are the US intelligence "demanding to be blindly trusted" ?

They totally are. They were downright shocked that AP's Matt Lee didn't just go along with it.

The question is not whether Russia would ever do such a thing. The question is if the USG actually has evidence that they plan to do such a thing.

One particularly ugly thing Russia did in Syria, was send out warnings that "the rebels are planning a false flag attack" to give Syria cover for actual attacks they were making.

That illustrates that Russia is untrustworthy, sure, but we already knew that. However, it also illustrates how worthless unsubstantiated claims of forthcoming false flag attacks are.
