#12As much as most of it may be true, Russia's fault in the Malaysian plane shoot-down hasn't been proved, even the crash site hasn't been examined properly, isn't it too early for such conclusions?
It wasn't proved, but there is not a believable alternative scenario. There are videos of transported missiles, intercepted calls, orders of obstructing access to crash site... John Kerry even says there is "Enormous amount of evidence" for that scenario. Still not 100% sure, but 99% yes.
Oh, come on! John Kerry says... right...

It is somewhat worse than just corruption. A mafia is esger to make positive harm by killing/injuring/damaging property/kidnapping... whereas corruption may just be a "hindrance". You risk your life or property if you fight a mafia, unlike fighting corruption.
Although it is true that the bad extreme of corruption is a mafia.

Yes it is a rant and at some points quite exaggerated but usually there are only rants against mafias, not statistics.

videos of transported missiles, intercepted calls, orders of obstructing access to crash site...
But do they specifically incriminate one side?

#17See however the previous extreme plane shootings, around 370 deaths total, by the US and Ukraine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 "shot down by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes on 3 July 1988," "All 290 on board, including 66 children and 16 crew, died" "The Fogarty report stated, "The data from USS Vincennes tapes, information from USS Sides and reliable intelligence infor…
Most people will probably say the key difference is that the US incident was a mistaken attempt to defend an imminent attack, rather than a terrorist attack. Being perhaps more cynical, I would say the key difference is that Russia is not the biggest kid on the playground.
Re: No Russian
#18I honestly don't know how to feel about this. It's really just as deceptive in presenting a clear cut and linear case about the other side, as if geopolitics really are this straightforward, and not actually a cryptic clusterfuck. It's just as pandering as Russian propaganda, or any form of propaganda. That and, for what it's worth, I can see there being just as big of an incentive for Ukraine, as for Russia, to take…
The rebels posted on twitter that they shot down a Ukraine military airplane around the same time as when MH17 was shot down. Yet no Ukraine airplane was shot down. The tweet was later deleted but can be found on web.archive.org.

Recent news confirm this. >> Pavel Durov the former CEO of Russia's main social network, VKontakte and founder of Telegram quit his job at the beginning of this month saying, "it has become increasingly complicated to stick to the principles we once founded our social site upon.” Speculators gave an educated guess that Russian authorities have been pushing for more and more censorship on the site. Two days later, he apparently "unresigned," but that wasn't the end of this story. >>
