Some scary stuff going on here. If indeed it was separatists in Ukraine who shot this plane down, even if by mistake, I hope they are held responsible for it.
I'm worried by the general tone of the media coverage, though, like there's a trial and jury on the go, with the media playing the role of prosecuting Russia, bringing up every detail that might point to them, even though none of it is actually real evidence yet.
Also they try and blur the line between Russia and the separatists like they are the same thing, when in fact they're Ukranians. They're not solely Russia's creation, either, they are the direct result of the Western-backed 'government' that took Ukraine by force a few months ago and the resulting NATO expansion. What happened back then legitimately caused a schism in the country - and it's no surprise Russia would help the separatists when the West is helping Kiev and in fact helped them get in power.
I've been following that separatist news link someone posted a while back via shitty Chrome translation and the last post on there was how the rebels are denying responsibility but realize they're fucked as they prepare themselves to start fighting 'Americans and their capabilities'. Then talking about World War 3.
I find America vs Russia stuff legitimately scary. God help us if we're fully going down that path again.
