No it isn't.

There is no point in kicking Russia out (you can't anyway). Its a place to all issues, even unrelated to this stuff.

I am not talking about BRIC itself, I am talking about the BRIC bank that was created yesterday, especially with the Brazilian president under fire after the whole World Cup mess.

I would imagine they lock down during any serious global incident if only to discuss the situation going forward before opening the floor to discussion with the public. Not like we can avoid being affected by this after all.

Oh it was a package left unattended? Damnit UPS

Probably already translated, my rough transcript of the terrorist conversation:

A: terrorist leader "Bes" (Devil)
B: his GRU chief

A: Shot down a plane just now. Group "Minera". Fell down near Enakievo.
B: Pilots, where are the pilots?
A: We're going to the crash site to take photos, still smoking.
B: How many minutes ago?
A: 30 minutes or so.

Two terrorists talking:

C: Yes, "Mayor"!
D: So, "chernuhin" brigade shot down the plane, from Chernuhin block-post. Cossacks, who are located there.
D: Plane broke up in air, near Petropavlovsk mine. Found first 200 (code for dead person), civilian.
C: What's going on there?
D: 100% civilian plane.
C: Lots of people there?
D: Holy shit, plane fragments fell on houses.
C: Type of plane?
D: Still working on that, haven't been near main part. Looking where first bodies started to drop.
D: Parts of plane, seats, bodies.
C: Any weapons?
D: Nope, civilian stuff, medicine, towels, toilet paper.
C: Any documents?
D: Yes, Indonesian student, from Thompson University.

Two other terrorists talking:

E: About this plane, shot down near Snezhnoy - Torez. Appers it's civilian plane. Fell down near Grabovo, sea of bodies, women, children. Cossacks are inspecting it.
E: TV is saying it looks like AN-26, ukrainian, transport, but Malaysian Airways are written on it. What was it doing on Ukraine's territory?
F: Transporting spies. No need to fly here, in the war zone.

Are we 100% sure this phone conversation is legit, and not staged propaganda?
Just playing devil's advocate, not taking sides. Just strikes me as odd that the Ukraine secret service would publish something like this SO quickly.

RIP to dead and my condolences to the families of the deceased.

The thread is taking a rather Euro-focused turn though, do we have an overall nationality breakdown for the deceased?

What's the count for the Malaysians onboard?

You'd think that there'd be more Malaysian participation in this thread, all I'm seeing is European and US GAF commenting on the crash. It is another Malaysian Airlines incident after all.

I think the rebels know that they're fucked right now. I guess they'll loose any support that they had.

Guy on CNN said that the BUK the rebels had was captured from a Ukrainian military base. Any info on that? If so that would be good because if they would have got that shit from russia that would mean heavy trouble. But still, stupid move from russia to support those idiots in the first place

Ahhh, I was wondering why I had never heard of the "BUK" SAM launcher until today. Just found out that it's the Russian name for the Gadfly (in NATO parlance).

It won't accomplish much. The US does not need to get involved with military invervention.

Using military force against Russia won't amount to shit and Putin knows it, which is why all of this is happening in the first place.

I just don't think there will be justice for this. Everyone's terrified of antagonizing Russia. We let them take South Ossetia, we let them take Crimea, we'll let the separatists get away with this because they're under Russia's wing.

Your concern is normal. However, the Ukrainians would have the tech to intercept such communication. And they probably want to get as much evidence out there so they can show the world this conflict has gone on for too long and needs to end now.

Britain have called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine

Eurocontrol says MH17 plane was flying in open airspace but about 1,000 feet above a closed section of airspace, Eastern Ukrainian airspace is now closed.

Can't say for sure, but they intercepted and published a lot of terrorist conversations before.

If it was the seperatists, everyone, including Russia will crack down. Especially if there were any chinese citizens on the plane.

Here's an alternate translation from reddit of that last part. Makes the guys seem less apathetic and dumb:

1:52: About that plane shot down near Snezhnovo Torez. It turned out to be a passenger plane. Fell near Grabovo, there's lots of bodies, women and children. Right now the cossacks are inspecting it.
2:03: On TV they are saying AN-26, Ukrainian transport, but are saying it's labeled Malaysian Airlines.
2:12: What was it doing in Ukrainian territory?
2:16: Maybe it was transporting spies. Who knows. It's war.

Quick, we need a drone strike to take out the dozens of spies hiding in this guy's shadow. Just blast the general area around him to take out the spies. The spies he is concealing, in the war zone.

The other side to that is in today's world, the longer you sit on stuff, the longer you let Twitter, CNN and everything else dictate the narrative and develop wild theories just to fill time.
