Russian involvement may have gone no further than trusting the separatist with possession and control of an anti aircraft battery capable of shooting down a commercial airliners. One of the links I provided gives specific details about the recorded conversation between the separatist about the shoot down. A separatist leader admitted knowledge of a separatist battalion having a BUK system. He admitted it on video to journalist after the shoot down. He admitted it came from Russia. I provide links to this kind of data and you provide links to political opinion commentaries. I provide detailed data with photographic proof of the BUK moving from Russia to Ukraine and back to Russia and your answer is to post a commentary that completely ignores the evidence as if it doesn't exist. Did you even look at the Bellingcat Report?You claimed that your link debunked the evidence of Russian separatist and Russian involvement in the shoot down of MH 17 over Ukraine. It did no such thing and the article by Roseff from Rockwell is a commentary, not a statement of fact. Rosseff is a well known libertarian socialist who promotes panarchism and contributes essays for libertarian publications. He is also popular in the Russian propaganda network.He is an economics writer, so you claim that he has a history of covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine is false.It was not my intention to post a link, just a statement of fact.Your Lew Rockwell essay does not debunk any of the evidence I posted. It doesn't even address the charges and factual data including in the links I provided. Doesn't even mention them. Your link is a commentary opinion essay that uses the MH17 as a conduit and lead in to wide ranging conspiracy theories.
This from Dr, Michael S Rozeff, who has reported extensively on Ukraine:
All sorts of officials accuse Russia of aggression in Ukraine. Is this true? It is not. It is fiction. It is a big lie. It is a specious claim, an absurd claim, a ridiculous claim, an unreal claim. Russia and Russians have been involved in certain respects in Ukraine, but by no sensible stretch of the imagination can such involvements be termed aggression. If there were an actual war aggression, it could not be hidden because the scope of a typical war aggression is very large. The photographic evidence for it would be overwhelming. No such evidence has been provided by Russia’s accusers. Even more importantly, it would have to be shown that the attack was an unprovoked offensive attack, and not a defensive operation. This too has not been proven by Russia’s accusers.
My concern here is the fiction being propagated. It borders on madness. It plays into the hands of the worst kinds of warmongers. It blinds everyone concerned. It is irrational. It establishes an aura of public lies and myths that results in great mischief and worse. It is producing awful results that can become far worse. The lie happens to revolve around demonizing Russia but my purpose is not to choose sides in the Ukrainian-Russian problems but to keep the U.S. out of the matter. It is to defang the lie.
Here is another sample of his work.You are wrong on all counts, but that won't stop you. To think the Russians had something to do with the downing of MH17, is not to think. The downing was a clear false flag action, but you can't see the truth.russia-insider.com/en/2015/02/14/3490
I have posted clear evidence that is used by those who accuse Russia of invading Ukraine and being responsible for the shoot down of MH 17. Those who choose to cheer for Putin and spew hate and false accusations at the US, NATO, Ukraine and others claim the accusations made by these entities are false, but are unable to disprove the evidence. Sorry, but I view your attempt at "debunking" the evidence I provided as an old trick. List links that are meaningless to the topic and do so with the knowledge that most people will not check out the link. They will just read the comment about debunking and assume the link must do so. Very dishonest in my opinion.
There has been no debunking of the evidence in the links I provided that are in post #34 on this page and just a few post back from this one.

The American Government’s Biggest Lie Now Is About Ukraine
Posted on March 16, 2015 by Eric Zuesse.

The American Government’s biggest lie in 2002-2003 was about Saddam Hussein and Iraq. We’ve already seen what that lie produced. It cost the U.S. more than $3 trillion, produced ISIS, and caused death and destruction in Iraq that make Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship look benign by comparison. Are Americans still fooling themselves about that? (Some are; but most are not.)
The American Government’s biggest lie in 2014-2015 is instead about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine — and it’s even worse, and far more dangerous, because this one can very possibly lead to a nuclear war, one with Russia that’s totally unnecessary for America’s national-security, and that actually places all of our nation’s security at risk, for the shameful reasons of aristocrats (“oligarchs”) in both the U.S. and Ukraine — not for any real reasons of the American people, at all.
But, that’s where we are heading, nonetheless, because America’s aristocrats overwhelmingly want it (as will be shown here).
Why do you side with aristocracy, which has done nothing but damage for decades?

Do you see the difference between a detailed report and a commentary?
