What you are saying doesn’t make any sense at all.

You say the people on the plane were “murdered”, which means you think whoever shot down the plane knew it was a commercial passenger plane and shot it down intentionally.

What motive did they have for doing so?

How did it benefit them?

Ukraine also shot down a passenger plane in 2001, and the USA did so in 1998. Were they murderers too?

The logical answer is that all 3 incidents were accidents, misidentifications.

Perhaps sending a passenger plane right over the center of a tiny war zone where multiple military planes had recently been shot down goes against common sense.

The present case can be distinguished because Russia refuses to accept responsibility for having shot down MH17. Instead, Russia points the finger at everyone else: a Ukrainian ground attack plane did it; those flying the plane were asking for it, and so on. That very refusal to accept responsibility indicates a degree of culpability that goes well beyond saying, “sorry, it was an accident.” I believe it is appropriate under the circumstances to view the actions as Russia as deliberate. Otherwise, why not admit to the West, to the families of the victims: yes, we were responsible, we are sorry and we will compensate you for what happened. Instead, Russia has responded by introducing even more surface to air missiles into Ukraine.
