Russian technical involvement on the ground - if proved- still does not constitute evidence this act was state-sponsored, as was KAL-007
all this act does is to damage Russia
all the news is now about punishing Russia
Putin loses
This is all too convenient - for Putin’s opponents
thus my suspicions are up
the question is MOTIVE
and if there was none, then this was an accident of war, rebels aiming at what they thought was a military cargo plane ... or a very sophisticated false flag to discredit Putin
beware of US intelligence, totally politicized now, the same toads who assured us Assad’s forces were the ones using chemical weapons a year ago in Syria
