Surprised that he didn't give Montenegro a pass. Typically they are pretty much unwavering supporters of everything Russian and give him a foot in Europe. Hopefully he burns that bridge.

Right now Putin is the most richest and most powerful man in the world. He owns the entire Russian state and all resources within. He and his group of ex-KGB spies have used all of their cloak and dagger skills to blackmail, silence and kill all their opposition. Anyone internally that disagrees with him is exiled or killed and neighbours are strong armed and slowly annexed.
According to the former Kremlin banker, he's worth at least $200 billion personally and he spent the first 15 years in power stealing as much as he could.

The Ukrainian overthrow of Yanukovich really made him scared that something similar would happen in Russia so he had to act to prevent being prosecuted himself. If he ever left power and someone else that he was not aligned with took over, he would probably get prosecuted. He learned this is Dresden during the cold war and now he's keeping to focus of the Russian people and the world off of his own shady dealings by causing external conflict.

Another interesting article on Putin's rise to power, use of backhanded deals and how HP helped put him there.

Yes Kalyian. I understood you, but we’re already at the crash site. A passenger plane was brought down. They brought down the passenger plane and we brought down the fighter. …

I mean … the two pilots landed on parachutes.

Cmdr: Yes, speak. I’m here, I’m in Grabovo. Right at the place. I’m not at the bird site, I’m in the field. I didn’t get there yet.
Cmdr: Five parachutes jumped off this plane. Five people jumped off this plane. …

I also ask this in the other Malaysian Airline disaster thread. Have all the pieces/parts from MH17 been accounted for? More specifically, the flaperons?

Not sure, I'm sure most of the major components have been accounted for, why are the flaperons of interest?

CTV news channel is reporting right now some debris investigators found at the MH17 crash site contains Russian writing that may have come from a missile system. They have reached out to Russian authorities to help identify the pieces.
Good luck with that investigators LOL...

Its such an open and shut case from day 1, but no matter what evidence we find Russia wil just deny it and call it a conspiracy by the west.

Just about every military expert has said the Buk missile system takes a lot of training and a crew of 4 to operate, considering pics are out there showing the Buk in rebel territory hours before the tragedy and them running back to mother Russia right after with 2 missiles missing it might be safe to say the operators were Russians.

Well Russia banned imports from Iceland, for such a tiny nation we sell a lot of fish to them and this hurts us per capita like no other nation.
Sucks, hope Putin gets cancer.

Dutch report out today, surprise, surprise it was shot down by a Buk launched from rebel territory. Missile exploded a meter from the cockpit and tore the front of the plane off. Passengers may have been alive for the 90 second descent from cruising altitude.
