Regardless of who shot the plane down, it's a bit frustrating that the Euros and the US are still too busy cupping each others balls when this could have been a significant cassus belli to start moving troops to the Ukraine and exert some military pressure on Putin. Instead very little has changed and Putin must be ecstatic that what could have turned into a fiasco is instead looking to become an embarrassment for the West. The West couldn't even manage to tell the rebels to fuck off, it was more like"our unarmed civilian officials were excluded from the crash site and the rebels took all the bodies and the black box and told us to go pound sand". It sounds like the people that went to investigate the crash are going to have to go to the rebels hat-in-hand and wait for whatever the rebels are willing to give them, which is crazy considering that it's likely that it was the rebels who accidentally shot the plane down in the first place.
What a bunch of fucking maroons.

Yeah man, fermenting civil war in a country and shooting down airliners, nothing to worry about.
And dont bother bringing up Iraq, we this thread isnt about Iraq.

It kinda could be.
I mean I agree with you. But if we did it and Putin started making claims about unwarranted aggression... it's kinda hard to say he's 100% wrong. Maybe like 75% wrong? About the aggression part. When irregulars are shooting down jet airliners I do think it warrants some response. I just don't think it warrants a response from the American military.
And it's a salient question, Ara. But I think the answer is "whoever moves in to stabilize". And that's not "The West" by default.

They areless likelyto happen if your country isn't a warzone though!
This is some pretty high stakes shit if you think about it. It's too bad that Kerry is our man.
Another reason you don't want "American Leadership" on this issue, EU. Look at who the fucking leader WOULD BE before you start calling for it. You're tellin me there's nobody, nobody, better in Germany?

You mean like how we did with Al'Qaeda against the Russians? What could possibly go wrong?
