I think it is a wake up call actually. How the west proceeds in the future is another story perhaps. Seems like Russia was discounted as a world power in name only for some time now, but they are emboldened by their standing on the new global energy chessboard and combined with Putin's approach to reestablishing their former potency they've shown they aren't just going to lay down and get steamrolled anymore.I hope EU/US learned a valuable lesson from all of this.
The reality is that, after two decades of eastward NATO expansion, this crisis was triggered by the West's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defense structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement. Its rejection led to the Maidan protests fueled by US/EU influence and the installation of an anti-Russian administration.
Which makes me wonder more and more if this wasn't just an orchestrated casus belli by the West, using Ukrainian Buk missiles in order to gain more public support against the separatists and Russia. It's just too convenient.The incident is just going to enable america to do more of what it wanted to do, good job russia. Thanks are in order
Right, and I dont think you can blame Russia. US would do exactly the same thing in their place. This is just realpolitik.I think it is a wake up call actually.

We can say that they are both fucked up, but no I don't "blame" Russia. Yeah they are pulling from our playbook, but we make some pretty atrocious plays. You do have an entire nation caught in the middle of this thing though with Ukraine being thrown into civil war on the whims of the world superpowers surrounding them. But that goes for Syira, Libya, Iraq, Israel, Palestine.... There's blood on everyone's hands in the west and Russia.Right, and I dont think you can blame Russia.

Sounds like some damning arguments against Ukraine
"They could easily make a tragic mistake and shoot down a passenger plane when indeed they wanted to shoot down a Ukrainian transport plane," he said.
On Friday, Russia's state-owned RIA Novosti news agency also quoted Konstantin Sivkov, director of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, as saying Buk missiles "should be provided with external systems of target identification, that is, radio-location systems. It's an entire system. And the insurgents certainly don't have radio-location."
Without a backup, a missile can be fired by operators who are not totally sure of what they are aiming at.
"Just seeing a blip on a radar screen was in no away sufficient to make a targeting decision," said Keir Giles, associate fellow for international security and Russia and Eurasia programs at the Royal Institute of International Affairs. "You need an additional radar system to which these weapons systems can be connected for additional information."
What does worldtruthtv have to say? How does this all fit into Agenda 21 and the chemtrail program?why don't you just post alex jones, godlike production, and beforeitsnew they all say the same thing.
The rebels are not using aircraft so why would the Ukrainians be using anti aircraft weapons close to the rebel positions (who could capture them and use them against the Ukrainians who ARE using aircraft), unless it was a false flag attack? The only people using anti aircraft weaponry in the area are the rebels, it's pretty obvious that they shot it down by mistake.The Final Moments Of Flight MH-17: The Russian Side Of The Story

Yeah, why should Ukraine monitor its own airspace - thats just crazy!The rebels are not using aircraft so why would the Ukrainians be using anti aircraft weapons close to the rebel positions (who could capture them and use them against the Ukrainians who ARE using aircraft), unless it was a false flag attack? The only people using anti aircraft weaponry in the area are the rebels, it's pretty obvious that they shot it down by mistake.
From what I hear the Ukrainians gave out warnings about flying there (mentioned in that article) but the international air traffic control people didn't react cautiously as this has never been a problem before and the Malaysian Airlines don't bother investigating their own flightpaths (which is why other airlines avoided the area).
If Russia/the rebels are innocent then it's pretty simple, we would have the black box recorder by now.
