This is exactly what russians are getting at. US media blamed Spain for the incident, even though Spain most likely they had nothing to do with it — a conclusion, that seems to be confirmed by later investigations of US experts. Nonetheless, following the mass propaganda, US started the spanish-american war. Russians are not quite saying that US are building up for the war, but they are sorta hinting at it and making it clear that US has a history of lying about such things (which is true about any country in the world, including both USA and Russia).
