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.
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.

This is what you get for giving advanced military weapons to russian rednecks.

And probably we will never know the truth if the black boxes are given to the russians.

It's all about the freedomz, not money. America didn't do anything to fund or support the Maidan uprising. Nope. The current Ukrainian government is legitimate, of course. Nothing to see here, move along patriots. God bless America.

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.

Right, and I dont think you can blame Russia. US would do exactly the same thing in their place. This is just realpolitik.

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.

You keep asking in these threads why Americans are so mad (I never know how much you are trolling but for the sake of argument) about this in the first place. The thing here is, we have short memories. We don't much study history and most of what our man on the street does know of it is our own, not as much European. You see that all the time in the WWI discussions. We have this culturocentric idea of history and the world stage in our isolation and dog-whistle patriotism in the States. The younger generations don't remember the cold war, they have no prior concept of Russia as a self actualized world power who had to be taken into account, rather than disregarded. The older generations either suffer from short memory syndrome or remember those days all too well. Russia's reemergence is a shock to the western system and the citizens are reacting in shock.

Still, for the U.S. populace, this is largely a political talking point in their neverending bread and circus revolving around hating/loving Obama. For the EU, this shit has gotten REAL, way too fast. Especially now that hundreds of Dutch civilians just randomly got blown out of the sky.

why don't you just post alex jones, godlike production, and beforeitsnew they all say the same thing.

they managed to lie in zero hedge saying you can't shoot down a plane without radar
the radar would identify targets in more detail but the missile's can still down things up there and down things.

Without radar, missile may not have identified jet - York Dispatch



"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."

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.

Yeah, why should Ukraine monitor its own airspace - thats just crazy!

if you see something on alex jones, wnd, beforeitsnews, cfrog, russia today ect, you have to find it confirmed in another news source or you can't trust it exists at all.
