The recent tragedy involving the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 has shown once again the real strength of Vladimir Putin and the Russian secretive apparatus. They are almost invincible. Nothing can really touch them.
Shooting civilian’s aircrafts is a criminal act. People don’t really get away with it, unless you are extremely powerful and well connected, then you can get away with just about anything.
Today, Putin seemed almost sympathetic. He allowed (via proxy of course!) the bodies of the dead passengers to be removed. He also promised to facilitate (help in any way he can?) with an independent investigation. Does this mean that the Pro-Russian trigger happy guy who shoots down the plane is going to die soon under mysterious circumstances?
Shooting down this plane was probably a mistake/an accident. Ukraine is a hot area. Everyone is trying to grab a piece of it. And they are doing it the old fashion way via military. A lot of innocent folks have died since the Ukrainian’s revolution this year. More people died when Russia took over Crimea. I was a little bit surprised when no one stepped in to stop Russia from taking Crimea. A country shouldn’t be allowed to just go into another country to arbitrarily annex a part of it (just because of a historical claim or whatever). My guess is that if people didn’t care enough back then (or were too scared to do/say anything) then perhaps we are not going to see anything different this time?
