A two-year investigation into the tragedy of flight MH17 has concluded that the plane was downed by a missile that had been driven to the place it was launched from Russia. And after the plane was hit, it was returned to Russia.
It looks like I was wrong when I said the Kremlin didn’t order the hit and had no knowledge it was being planned. It is now becoming clear that the missile was brought in specifically to hit an airplane. But MH17 wasn’t the airplane that the Kremlin wanted to get hit.
There was another airplane there at that moment in time, and it passed MH17 shortly before the fatal missile was launched. It was a Russian airplane bringing vacationers home to Russia. It was supposed to be brought down to give Russia a casus belli, i.e. a justification for invading Ukraine openly.
Since the report came out, the Kremlin has been in a state of huge panic. Of course, they blame Americans.
