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.
BUK isn't a "Russian" missile system. It was developed by several USSR countries, including Ukraine. This means, unless there is evidence that directly links these parts to Russia itself (ludicrous), the parts found at crash site can belong to Ukraine, Russia, or whoever the hell else took part in manufacturing the BUK systems in USSR (if we were to apply OP's logic).
In other words, fuck off back to Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or wherever shithole you crawled out of and stop polluting my favorite websites with your parents' Fox News talking points.
it's russian missile parts, can't prove it was a russian missile. the Ukrainian military is almost all former USSR aka Russian equipment. some russian military hardware is actually made in the ukraine and the russian supply planes are breaking down because they can't get anymore parts from the ukraine. look it up, it was on the news a few days ago
Its worth remembering that while the conflict has claimed many lives, its being intentionally aggrevated by the US.
The US entered into the two plus four treaty with germany under the agreement it would move no further east after this unification. Even gorbachev noted this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
All the united states has to do in order to de-escalate this conflict is to categorically reject Ukranian membership in NATO.
Good people go to bed earlier.
What we must not forget, is that Malaysia decided to fly over a war zone.
This does not talk the attack on the airplane right, but it creates circumstances...
Which is both a fact and completely useless when trying to figure out who operated the aircraft.
Now, if they found Russian aircraft parts or US missile parts at the crash site, they'd have a story.
should Crimea and the other areas become part of Russia
Newsflash, Crimea is part of Russia since 2014. (And they will probably build a bridge.)
