Canada Ping!
Russia needs to pay for these murders.
Obviously nobody is in the mood to go to war, but there are other ways. Russians love their sports - cut them off completely.
Gator, you suggested taking away the 2018 World Cup - Excellent, but go even further. Ban them from FIFA, the Olympics, IIHF, every single sporting event. Cut them off totally.
That’ll get their attention. Until Russia starts behaving like a civilized country again, they don’t deserve any international respect.
I remember back to the TWA-800 investigation. It stuck out because it was run differently than any other US domestic investigation.
I only mention it, because here once again we see a deviation from the normal crash investigation, this time an international one.
Russia has it’s fingerprints all over this. It could demand the separatists allow free passage for international investigators. Instead it is taking possession of important articles of evidence.
This is a real stinker.
“Putin has ‘let slip the dogs of war’: Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird”
Ok, these people seriously need to STFU.
I frankly do not care how this happened. But as it has happened in the past, and been done by several nations, including our own, THIS is not a pretext for any talk of “war”.
These blow-dried twits in bureaucratic positions are not going to be on any front line, and sure as hell wont be near anyplace that might get nuked.
The lives of potential millions, and the disruption of billions, are not worth this plane.
Next time, you morons will make sure commercial airlines dont get routed over war zones.
There are some people who say that the shootdown
was the direct result of Kiev Air Traffic Controllers
re-directing MH-17 directly over the "war zone"This being done by the Kiev government to blame Putin.
Thoughts ?
Pretty tough talk. When does he plan to attack Russia?
Meh, I compare this to the beginning of WWII. Crimea is like Austria and Ukraine is like Poland. And Russia is Nazi Germany.
I’ve commented that I feel like we are in august of 1939 and September 1st is a comin’. Well, September 1st came and went.
Enjoy the next decade.

Canada Ping!
Russian MOD has spoken and asked Americans to reveal what they have. They did, and it implicates Kiev.
It seems that either CSIS was not briefing Baird about the latest development, or he was too stupid to understand it.
Baird's statements are of the same mental magnitude as Mel Lastman's when he was the mayor of Toronto.
The only thing I could say in his defense is that he is speaking on behalf of Galicia Waffen SS descendants and not in the name of all Canadians.
It's a shame who represents Canada.
