> In July, Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that would have established an international criminal tribunal to investigate the MH17 attack.
Nothing to hide, right?
So pretty much no change from what new organizations were originally saying at the time. This incident took place one month after my son was born and I remember having a tough time sleeping that night thinking about all of the people, particularly young children on the flight.
Before this I did not realize that the airline you choose is so important. Many airlines including British Airways which I usually use had been avoiding all of Ukraine airspace for months before this happened, however sadly they were in the minority.
I'm afraid, it was clear from the beginning. Only Russia told it was not true....
Interesting reaction many are having,
I think its pretty clear on the world stage that Russia had involvement in this, either it was supplying the weapons or worse case is was Russia's 'Moderate rebels' that did it. Which seem to be how first world powers these days get what they want without putting their name on it
The fact Russia Vetoed a UN investigation and Putin has stated a few times when asked that it would be a waste of time to do an investigation sends a clear and strong message.
The interesting thing to me, is why it has come out now? the US propaganda machine is in over drive lately. US has spent years funneling 'moderate' rebels towards Syria, while using ISIS as the poster kids for more draconian surveillance and not really doing anything about them.
I mean its pretty clear right? US(cia) created the environment that allowed ISIS to grow and then used them to push forward their international agenda (removal of Assad (before that Iraq/Afghanistan destabilization ready for a US friendly government to be installed)) and domestic agenda (removal of rights for the 'greater' good).
Just this week we have the US stating they are stopping training 'moderate' rebels (I quote as I do not believe there are ever moderate rebels) but then proceeds to sell Saudi Arabia missiles that TODAY Saudi Arabia have given to the 'moderate' Rebels.
We see. Luckily we live in interested times, and the internet has made it so we can see more of the world stage without local filtering (newspapers/local new) interesting times indeed.
TL:DR: Russia's moderate rebels most likely shot the plan down, Russia knows this stalls investigation. Then a bit of a rant of, Why this has come out now
Always interesting reading the same news from different sources - the BBC story does not seem to mention the Almaz-Antey test firing of a newer model of the missile to disprove Russian involvement.
Where does the WP lie on the political Spectrum? As a Euro-bloke I don't know.
Some problems with the report is that it was written by Dutch and Ukrainian people, which might not be totally objective. Additionally, large parts of the report isn't open for everyone to see. I think it's strange to accept a conclusion without being able to see everything that caused the researches to come to their conclusion. Finally, when the report was revealed the press wasn't allowed to ask any questions.
