Russian Missile Parts Found At MH17 Crash Site

An anonymous reader sends this report from the BBC: Fragments of a suspected Russian missile system have been found at the Flight MH17 crash site in Ukraine, investigators in the Netherlands say. They say the parts, possibly from a Buk surface-to-air system, are "of particular interest" and could help show who was behind the crash. But they say they have not proved their "causal connection" with the crash. ... Ukraine and many Western countries have accused pro-Russian rebels of shooting down the plane, saying they could have used a Buk missile system supplied by Russia. Russia and the rebels deny any responsibility and say the Ukrainian military was to blame.

    and russia, having absolutely no friends because of their neoimperialist thuggery today, and a broken economy, and a rusting military, won't be able to do anything about it

    russia is a nuclear power you say?

    oh, don't worry: china won't invade, no war will be declared

    local freedom fighters will revolt (the area already has huge chinese minorities) and china will simply provide "humanitarian" aid to local chinese. russia will complain the "local" revolutionaries have the latest chinese military tech and will claim some are in fact chinese army

    china won't care about the complaints. the world won't care about the complaints

    the irony will be delicious

    georgians and ukrainians, you will be avenged

    There's no way a Russian missile could get hot enough to melt an airliner.

    Sorry about the confusion, I'm not a native English speaker and I guess that I'm still a little bit traumatized years after having had to watch the movie "Battleship" :)
