Quote RT from June 10 Edit of story: "The Russian team, which includes torpedo and submarine engineers, hopes to reveal its findings next week." Well, this is next week and we are waiting for the Russian interpretation of the data they investigated. I would wager a small amount that we will never see their results.

As suspected all from the start the North Koreans has not torpedoed that South Korean warship, today it was revealed by RT that the Russian team of experts looking into the alleged sinking of the South Korean warship was not by a Torpedoed fired by North Korean mini submarine but rather a mine explosion. The only teams investigating this alleged sinking and claiming North Korean responsibility are nations with close ties to the East Asian military interests in the region. I am so surprised and now I wonder if the UN will retract the additional sanctions put on North Korea and look over other geopoliticised issues involving the North Koreans. Not very likely though this deliberate smear campaign is to try shake up another east Asian conflict, the middle-east is lost due to wikileak so the military industrial complex need a new area of operations to keep the US economy going. *Applauds the incompetence and the biased completely useless UN organisation and their cronies.*
