I've spent many hours looking into not only MH17, but the rest of the Ukrainian crisis.
Russia (admittedly) does deserve blame for what is going on in Ukraine, but so does the other parties involved (U.S., E.U., and quite obviously; Kiev).
The reason we don't jump on the bandwagon of "RUSSIA WEAK RUSSIA GUILTY RUSSIA EVIL" is because that is false. TR1, you seem like an intelligent guy, you should know to look at all sides of the issue.
Not really agree with that part of the sentence.
Because if you see your family and friends being systematically killed at the borders of your country ,just because
they reject an illegal coup in their country and the new Government that gets in power. The Donetsk and Lugansk
people original demands was Federalization of eastern Ukraine.. But kiev refused to listen. The same if you remember was requested in odessa and Other cities like Kharkiv. but the people who protested was brutally repressed. in The case of Odessa they were Burned.. Alive.. Did you know about that massacre? So there was 8 millions people in Ukraine that consider ethnic Russians and support to be closer to Russia that were terrified by the new Junta in Kiev ,that support Ultra Nazi radicals in power positions in security and to carry guns.
You cannot blame Russia for supporting the Rebels ,when Kiev have shown a very hostile stance against anyone who reject the EU and wants to be closer to Russia. You can't blame Russia for protecting their naval base. USA or any other major power will have done the same. You neither can blame Russia if they giving weapons to the Rebels so they hold their territory.. because USA is the one who began conflict with its financed Euromadian Revolution.
For the only thing i blame Russia is for not helping Yakunovych to restore order ,with such violent protest in kiev.
that not only were occupying buildings and burning them but also killing police and using extreme violence. had Yakunovych being helped to restore order.. and do early elections as Yakunovyvh agreed in 2014. The Nazis will have never been in power and Pro Russian politicians will still have been in Power in many parts of Ukraine. So there will be balance of forces and power in kiev ,had the US congress and victoria nuland not interfere in the uprising and the pro EU parties accepted to end the conflict. but the pro EU parties instead in the parliament.. where always pushing for violence.. encouraging them to continue the violence.
Rememer dude.. that Yakunovych agreed with 100% of all the demands of the protesters and the EU. but the only thing he disagree was to resign ,allowing the entire government to collapse . he even gave the position of Prime Minister to the opposition and minister of justice to the Boxer. But they refused.. they wanted simply to disband the government.
Yakunovych mistake was to trust in the EU.. and agreed to remove police from the unrest zone. as soon police left.
the protesters SIEGE the parliament and force Yakunovych to Run for his life. Opportunity that the Right win parties use to expulse him from Presidency ,without him resigning or a democratic process free of terror happening.
As soon Yakunovych was overthrow ,with the US congress finance coup.. The first thing the new junta do is disband police and replace them with the same bandits that were burning buildings and were very hostile to anyone Pro Russia. Then later they kick all Governors that were legitimate elected and friendly to Russia and totally ban any media that support Russia.. In short Kiev create a total Anarchy and total dictatorship in Ukraine. And use terror to force the parliament from the party of Yakunovych to defect or be arrested.
The civil war in Ukraine is 100% to blame in US and the EU.. Russia did not interfere at all in any way with the unrest in Kiev and left Yakunovych to deal with it alone. Putin even recognized Poroshenko as president and was ready to work with them.. But US push for no negotiation for peace and instead for war to crush anyone that do not support Kiev or demanded Full autonomy for their regions.
Lets remember that Russia have been pushing for a cease of fire , Did not recognized Donetsk and Lugansk Independence ,and Putin even did the unthinkable and ask the rebels to postpone their referendum. Something they rejected. So Russia did everything possible to stop the civil war... and since Kiev is bombing civilians cities indiscriminately ,and supporting Nazis and support their warcrimes against Pro Russian civilians ,you cannot blame Russia for supporting the Rebels to defend themselves
for the Illegal Government in Kiev. Poroshenko even though Putin recognized.. did not came in power in legal ways. No candidate that was Pro Russia was allowed to participate.. The elections in Ukraine was all about which pro EU faction will control kiev.
