Who Shot down the Malaysian Jet over Ukraine?

On July 17, 2014 the madness of a three-month-long Ukrainian military conflict in the East has brought the first shocking international consequence.  At 3.20PM GMT the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777-200 jet flight #MH-17 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala-Lumpur disappeared inside the Ukrainian airspace right above the area of intense military combat in the Donetsk region and crushed near Grabovo village, around 60 km to the east from Donetsk. All 285 passengers and 15 crew members have reportedly died.

Flight MH17 Down Over Ukraine

Flying over warzone Ukraine, the probable & convenient happens. July 18, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - At no juncture during the Ukrainian crisis could the downing of Malaysian Boeing 777 flight MH17 have been more convenient for NATO and its proxy regime in Kiev. Kiev's forces were being picked apart in eastern Ukraine with several units encircled and destroyed. In the west of the country, dissent was growing by Ukrainians unwilling to march off to fight in the east.

The Plane Vanishes

The fate of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared over the South China Sea on Saturday, continues to baffle the authorities of ten countries involved in the search and rescue missions.  Some 40 ships and 34 aircraft have been involved in the effort so far (Business Insider, March 11).  False alarms have been registered – the report of an oil slick, and the appearance of various objects (passenger life jackets; an airplane door).  A salvaged object retrieved by a Vietnamese rescue helicopter provided false assurance – it was not a life raft from the plane.
