Paid Putin trolls have been confirmed by many people by this point. Germany did a large report on it.

If you ask me, idiots in the interwebz outnumber alleged paid Putin trolls by a few orders of magnitude, so won't even bother with the report you're actually referring to here. I understand that being torn out of comfortable media-matrix might be painfull sometimes, but that's not a reason to call person a troll. In the past days of this forum, that was banabale offence btw. On a side note, a newly formed Ukrainian Ministry of Propaganda (Informationl Policy) pretty much officially hires "information troops", but that doesn't make me think every internet dweller I disagree with on given subject is a troll who works for MIP.

As for the crash, there has been a report. I think you just missed it.... It concluded that the plane went down due to explosive decompression due to shrapnel - which is how a BUK works.

Pretty sure I didn't, if you're referring to a preliminary report it has been worded rather vague, as shrapnel could be anything, AAM or SAM -- in any case Ukrainian Buks have been active at the time the plane was downed as reported by ELINT.

They had downed transport planes at that hieght - so how could they not drop a passenger plane?

Not at that altitude.
