Listening to the representative from UK made my ears wither. It was all about "Russia at fault" "bad separatists" "they should disarm" "Poroshenko's peace plan", "Russia", "more Russia".
According to the latest news the plane was asked to reduce the altitude by Ukrainian ATC prior to disaster.

I said Obama is no threat. I have no opinion on what he should do now, because he has already lost the respect of the rest of the world. When he kissed Russia's ass with his idiot 'reset', and took away the European missile defense system, he threw away his leverage at the same time. He's your guy, not mine.
Last time I checked the "European missile defence" was still expanded by the US, encircling Russia, an bringing the tension to ever higher levels.

http://rt.com/news/173628-malaysian-plane-crash-ukraine/Friday, July 18 13:44 GMT:
The OSCE has said 30 of its staff have arrived at the Malaysian Airlines MH17 crash site near Donetsk.
13:12 GMT:
The self-defense forces of Donetsk People's Republic have allowed Ukraine’s investigators to the site of the crashed Malaysia Airlines plane and promised to welcome all experts from international groups.
“We have already allowed four Ukrainian investigators. Also the experts from OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] and other international organizations will take part in the probe,” DPR’s deputy-PM Andrey Purgin told Interfax.
In the meantime, the OSCE observers hope that militia in eastern Ukraine will assist their investigation of the site, an OSCE representative told RIA Novosti.
“The representatives of DPR promised us and guaranteed the assistance in investigating the circumstances of the accident,” he added.

The Russians could actually try to use illegal action by people to whom they are allied as an excuse to attack the nation whom they are fighting against.
Downing of the plane is not a reason for Russia to retaliate against Ukraine. On the other hand, the continued shelling of Russian territory from Ukrainian positions (the latest happened today) is. And Lavrov has already made it crystal clear that any further provocations will be met with suppressing fire. On the airliner note, this blog post is a good read, as the author has a good track record of hitting the nail on the head: http://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/blatant-falseflag-ukraine-missile-targeted-putins-plane-hit-malaysia-mh17-instead/

Telling me that my father is an idiot it's not a good way to start a discussion. However, your point of view on anti-aircraft missile complexes is pretty funny, but this topic's purpose is far away from entertainment. I don't really care how clever you need to think your dad is. It's not a "missile complex", it's a tank or truck with rockets and support equipment mounted on it. It needs to be able to be ready to fire in pretty much seconds, so it has to be easy to use. Yes, it is. As Balthazar said, it's several trucks on wheels making up a missile complex: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C1%F3%EA-%CC1-2http://vorotila.ru/Item67754/BukM12-zenitno-raketnyy-kompleks-sredney-dalnostiThis is Buk: And this is Buk: Here is the complex:

They will cover it until it is known what happened. CNN's reporting on any given topic is negatively correlated with the amount of accurate information available on that topic.
Sounds about right, also sounds about right for our other major TV news networks like MSNBC and Fox; even CBS and ABC even if they have a decent program here and there. It sounded like several times on CNN it was said that some pro-Russian separatists were showing off that they captured a Buk weapons system from a base in Ukraine. Can anyone verify this? It was at least refuted today by Ukrainian Prosecutor General: http://rusvesna.su/news/1405666465
In other news: Two NATO radar AWACS planes were in the air in Poland and Romania at the moment of the disaster. http://itar-tass.com/proisshestviya/1327831However the planes might have been too far away to see what happened.

Now, on to something more interesting: Lavrov made a statement that if it turns out at an artillery firing point that shells Russian territory turns out to be doing so deliberately, it will have to be actively suppressed with return fire: http://rusvesna.su/news/1405683573On Friday there was a new round of shelling of Russian territory, so 90 people from Kujbyshev region in Rostov Oblast' had to be evacuated. Ukrainian army started heavy and random shelling of residential areas of Severodonetsk from "Grad" (video):http://rusvesna.su/news/1405681499
Enemy punitive battalions advance on Lugansk from three fronts. Streets are being shelled. 9 civilians are killed today: http://rusvesna.su/news/1405683012

Named your information generators. -----Russia tooday, and Girkin in a contact.- (VK ).....))).
My sources of information are actions by Nuland, Biden, Obama. You do know that actions speak stronger than words? Now, on to more real actions of a real country: Lavrov: Russia won’t take control of Malaysian plane’s black boxeshttp://rt.com/news/173820-ukraine-plane-black-boxes/Moscow has no plans to seize the flight recorders from the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which crashed in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, said.
The seizure of flight records would violate international law as it’s up to relevant international agencies to investigate of the incident, he explained. Russia, unlike US, follows the international law, sadly almost always to its own detriment. But for Russia, honour comes first.

In the meantime: Questions over why Malaysian plane flew over Ukrainian warzonehttp://rt.com/news/173792-malaysian-plane-diverted-warzone/“There are still question to answer like why this plane was flying over that area, whether it was on the correct flight path. It was flying over a war zone where missiles have been fired. It’s a war zone, so why was it flying over there?” blogger and writer Neil Clark asked in an interview with RT.
...
“MAS had used this route for years and it had always been safe. Fifteen out of 16 Asean Pacific airlines and even some airlines from Europe fly that route,” Malaysian Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said at a media conference on Friday. “There were no last minute instructions to change the flight path to a different route." And the image of flight paths: Also, read this Op-Edge! Why was MH17 flying through a war zone where 10 aircraft have been shot down?http://rt.com/op-edge/173788-malaysian-plane-crash-ukraine/This Op-Edge takes a bigger picture perspective on the events.

US removed the page of the Spanish air traffic controller from Twitter, then edited them and reposted:http://zergulio.livejournal.com/1770705.htmlThe words on the Twitter page today do not correspond what was screen captured by people yesterday. Why would US need to remove evidence? People now comment that they hope the controller himself would not get removed (killed) to erase evidence of Ukrainian/US involvement. The Spanish controller seems to have managed to posted that he evacuated from Ukraine together with his family.
Someone using the s-word again: http://rt.com/news/173628-malaysian-plane-crash-ukraine/10:30 GMT:
It is too “premature to draw conclusions” before the forensic teams have investigated the wreckage of the plane, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
"Regarding sanctions, I'd like to point out that the events with the plane, as far as I remember, were not even 24 hours ago and at the moment we need to sort out an independent investigation,” she added.

Now pro-russian want to ship it to Russia, but first the plane has not crashed to Russia AFAIK , and this plane is not russian plane ... so why Russia would take it back ?
By the way, here is why it is shipped to Russia: Earlier the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), a Russia-based international body tasked with investigation of all civil aircraft incidents in most former Soviet republics, including Ukraine, called for the formation of an international investigative group under the aegis of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a UN body, to investigate the incident.
The IAC said such a group should be handed over MH17 flight recorders, which are currently being recovered in Ukraine’s Donetsk Region. http://rt.com/news/173744-putin-ukraine-plane-russia/

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Jarema stated that the resistanse did not capture any SAMs like "Buk" of S-300: http://rusvesna.su/news/1405666465«После того, как был сбит пассажирский самолет, военные доложили президенту, что у ополченцев нет наших ракетных комплексов „Бук“ и С300. Захвата этого вооружения не было», — приводит заявление Яремы ИТАР-ТАСС.
Ukrainian MSM reported yesterday about 80 children and American citizens on board. According to the Airline, there were 3 children and no Americans. So those were another example of fabrication from Ukraine: http://rusvesna.su/news/1405665043
PRD established headquarters to investigate the crash: http://rusvesna.su/news/1405669094
Putin: Thorough investigation of Malaysian airliner tragedy in Ukraine required http://rt.com/news/173744-putin-ukraine-plane-russia/
Gruesome images of Malaysia MH17 plane crash in east Ukraine appear online http://rt.com/news/173644-photos-plane-malaysia-crash/
Tragic history of passenger planes shot down http://rt.com/news/173680-passenger-planes-shot-down/ Ukrainian Buk battery radar was operational when Malaysian plane downed - Moscowhttp://rt.com/news/173784-ukraine-plane-malaysian-russia/“The Russian equipment detected throughout July 17 the activity of a Kupol radar, deployed as part of a Buk-M1 battery near Styla [a village some 30km south of Donetsk],” the ministry said in a statement.
Seems that the information war continues: In his tweets, the Spanish air controller working in Ukraine revealed information regarding Ukrainian air fighter following the airliner minutes before the downing. Now his account was deleted!
A very detailed video with transcript: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/malaysia-airlines-flight-mh17-shot-down-over-ukraine-near-russian-border-20140718-3c4nl.html 6:42pm: "The airspace the aircraft was traversing was unrestricted. Fifteen out of 16 airlines in the associations of the Asia Pacific Airlines fly this route over Ukraine. In the hours before the incident, a number of passenger aircraft from different carriers used the same route," said Malaysia's Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said.
He also listed the following fatalities, indicating there were still 20 people whose nationalities remain to be verified:
- 173 Dutch - 44 Malaysians - 27 Australian (although Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has updated this to 28) - 12 Indonesians - 9 from the United Kingdom - 4 Germans - 4 Belgians - 3 Filipinos - 1 Canadian - 1 from New Zealand
4:32pm: Foreign Minister Julie Bishop confirmed the number of Australians killed in the MH17 tragedy had risen to 28 after a meeting with Russian ambassador Vladimir Morozov in Sydney on Friday afternoon, reports SMH State Political Correspondent Sean Nicholls.
Ms Bishop said she told the ambassador that the Australian people and government were "devastated by the news".
"I asked him for Russia’s explanation as to how a commercial plane could come down from that altitude over eastern Ukraine," she said.
"I asked that Russia give its unqualified support for a full, thorough, credible, international, independent investigation into the downing of this flight."
Ms Bishop also sought Russia's "unqualified support" for UN security council resolutions to "facilitate such an investigation".
"What we intend to establish through the UN security council is an investigation that will get to the bottom of who is responsible for this unspeakable crime and that they be brought to account."
She also sought support for seeking a ceasefire to retrieve the bodies and debris relevant to the investigation.
Mr Morozov "provided that unqualified support … and assured me Russia would do what it could to find those responsible".
Ms Bishop said the ambassador denied Russian involvement in the incident.
Given the above, the following statement from Kiev seems a bit panicky: http://rt.com/news/173628-malaysian-plane-crash-ukraine/10:15 GMT:
The black boxes from the Malaysian plane should remain on the territory of Ukraine, said a statement from the Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry. The transportation of the boxes abroad is illegal, it added.

A Malaysia Airlines 3786.KU -8.89% plane carrying 283 passengers and 15 crew crashed Thursday in the battle-torn east Ukraine region of Donetsk, where U.S. intelligence agencies say it was struck by a ground-to-air missile. The U.S. agencies are divided over whether the missile was launched by the Russian military or by pro-Russia separatist rebels, who officials say lack the expertise on their own to bring down a commercial airline in midflight. Ukraine, which also has sophisticated antiaircraft weaponry, said it hadn't shot any such missiles at any time during the conflict. "All roads lead to the Russians to some degree," said a U.S. official. http://online.wsj.com/articles/malaysia-airlines-loses-contact-with-plane-over-ukrainian-airspace-1405612373?mod=trending_now_1And that freedom fighters say they didn't and couldn't shoot that plane is disregarded, while Ukrainians' claim is takes as an absolute truth. They also have nothing to gain from it. In any case, I'd say that: "All roads lead to the Americans to some degree,"or they wouldn't be commenting and laying the blame even before the investigations is launched. Russia doesn't, playing by the rules.
