Putin Says Ukraine 'Bears Responsibility' for Malaysia Flight Jet Crash
NBC ^ | July 17, 2014 | unattributed

Posted on 07/17/2014 8:22:55 PM PDT by 1rudeboy

Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday blamed the Ukrainian government for the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, saying the state bears some responsibility for fighting that may have led to the jet’s apparent downing by a surface-to-air missile.

“I would like to point out in this regard, that this tragedy would not have occurred if there was peace in that land, at least, if hostilities had not resumed in the South-East of Ukraine,” Putin said. “And without question, the state over whose territory this took place, bears responsibility for this awful tragedy.”

And of course we all believe Vlad the KGB man first, last, and always. After all the Putinistas like to claim he is such a good solid Christian.

Once a commie always a commie. Vlad and his boys are just doing what comes naturally

C’mon now, Vladi loves Christians. Just as long as they are Russian Orthodox and register with the state.

“that this tragedy would not have occurred if there was peace in that land”

Hey Putin - there would have peace in the land if you hadn’t invaded it.
It ALL goes back to you, Putin.

EXACTLY what I was about to post myself. It’s true.

the only way Putin can redeem himself and Russian involvement in the Ukraine is to quickly apprehend everybody that had anything to do with the targeting and shoot down of this aircraft and publicly execute them . With profound apologies to the families of the victims .
No trials , no excuses ; just put them all in front of a wall and machine gun them . Stream it live ....

Putin: “I would like to point out in this regard, that this tragedy would not have occurred if there was peace in that land, at least, if hostilities had not resumed in the South-East of Ukraine,”

Soetoro: "I would like to point out in this regard, that his humanitarian crisis would not have occurred if there was compromise in this land and Republicans had not blocked Immigration Reform."

Holder: "I would like to point out in this regard, the racial animosities would not exist had whites simply allowed disparaged minorities access to their ill-gotten wealth"

Putin couldn’t redeem himself, doing what you suggest- every day for one hundred years. Good suggestion, though.

Just go ahead and cry in your borscht, comrade. Your boys screwed up, big time. Even Ron Paul cannot save you now.

And where did the “rebels” get this sophisticated and powerful SAM system, Vladdy-me-lad? Yeesh! The dumb bastards didn’t even know how to query a Airline transponder because if they did, they would have never launched.

I remembered a Serbia Airlines plane being shot down but had forgotten it was done by Ukraine. Interesting in how different the reactions are when the target on the other foot.

Serbia Airlines? You mean Siberia Airlines.

Anyway about the Siberia Airline shoot down, read your own link. It's not what you think.

The US CIA said the Ukrainians shot the plane down. Putin said the Ukrainians did not shoot down the plane. The Ukrainians finally admitted to it. One could speculate why Putin wanted to cover up for the Ukrainians, but the bottom line is that Putin was covering up for a plane shoot down then and he's doing the same thing now.

And that explains why the black boxes from Malaysian Flight MH7 were hustled off to Moscow, correct?

Normal flight across Holland, Germany, Poland, and 700 miles of Ukraine. Then boom!

This is MH17, not MH370. What would the black boxes add to what is already known?

Do you think the Russian guy who posted the video and admission of taking down a plane is still alive?

Igor's reportedly a GRU hotshot. Even hotshots f-up now and again.

They needed to scramble a fighter to go up and eyeball it before destroying it. They don't have fighters, but they do have missiles.

The question is "Why were the black boxes hustled off to Moscow if this crash occurred in the Ukraine?".

The Russians believed that it was important to scoop them up and flee with them. Not a peep about what happened or who did it.

Bet we'll never see those again.

Standard operating procedure, I'm sure. The Ukrainian separatists are in league with their big brother to the north, whose language they speak and with whom they intermarry.

Bet we'll never see those again.

That's likely of importance only to counsel for suing relatives. E.g., maybe the CVR would reveal the captain overriding the copilot on airline policy on the issue of diverting around the Donbas region.

Russia has nothing to gain by downing a passenger jet.

Russia would only look bad by downing a passenger jet.

The financial elites that run America, UK and Europe, however, do want to gin up support for overt US military action in Ukraine.

America, as new world order’s largest military machine, has the capability to turn the tide and bolster up NWO’s puppet government in Kiev so they can officially sign Ukraine into the EU.

So the real beneficiary of a passenger jet being blown out of the sky over Ukraine is the US/UK/Europe governments and their “backers”.

Russia, of course, is also run by new world order, as it has always had “international” elite investors and traders, it just politely keeps this fact quiet so the American sheeple don’t get wind of the fact that the same globalist monopolists are actually running the show in both Russia AND the US.

It’s obvious that the passenger jet blowup, with the coordinated internet push for American to “do something”, is really just about that.

The American sheeple are slowly starting to catch on, however, so we’re left with so much hype that does not “fly” much any more.

American sheeple have practically zero trust remaining of the US intelligence community.

US intel on the one hand claims that it has fantastical capabilities and that it is absolutely necessary to prevent attacks, then they come across as clueless when attacks happen anyway, after trillions spent, and their only answer at that point is a call for war. We could have the same result by spending zero on intelligence.

Meanwhile, US intel provides the technical machinery to the US government to enable a police state that focuses ALL its real efforts on developing methods of tracking Americans interested in Christianity and guns.

We’ve heard this stupid tune too many times to continue to believe it.

Or like the Kiev propaganda crew pretend that even bringing it up is somehow claiming it's a wash and this incident isn't a case of tragic stupidity on the part of the shooters who should be held responsible.

They're blind without their official agenda glasses and with them on everything is seen in a way that merges with the Barry agenda. Such folks always instantly know all about whatever their masters are pushing.

They never admit that there's very limited accurate, independently verified, information, the fact that propaganda flows thick and fast from all the parties, or the reality that the US is way beyond being able to claim to have cleaner hands than Russia does and therefore an equally suspect source of information. Their agenda is everything for them.

People who deal with reality admit there are possibilities and probabilities then make a call on a case by case basis. The agenda driven crowd without fail speak in certainties when certainty doesn't exist.

Let the heathen rage, it's all they know how to do, poor souls.
