Has to be imperative to gather all the facts before jumping to conclusions... Blaming Russia at this stage would be unwise, my fear is if the crash site is compromised due to interference from rebels/whomever, those facts may be hard to gather.
Imposing sanctions against Russia is a game they can play as well, again all the facts are needed here. Even if it was a "accident" it surely must be met with some sort of response, 300 civilians dead is absolutely sickening.
Feel terrible for all those affected, my hope is that this doesn't snowball and pull other nations into the conflict.
CaptainCrunch, if it comes out that this was indeed no accident and NATO refuses to do more than stack troops along borders, what do you think the odds are that the US acts unilaterally on this situation, with more than just sanctions? I can't imagine the death of 25 odd Americans will be taken lightly, especially if the airliner was specifically targeted. I know it's early to say one way or another, but does anyone really want to poke the bear so to speak? However if this was deliberate, there's no way other nation states sit still on this is there?
