John McCain Unveils True Motive For Shooting MH-17 To Escalate War With Russia

The flight, from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was carrying 298 people, 154 of them Dutch and 15 crew members, all confirmed to be Malaysian.

There were no survivors from the crash, which left wreckage and bodies scattered across miles of rebel-held territory near the border with Russia.

The Boeing 777 took off from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport and was expected to land approximately 13 hours later in Kuala Lumpur.

However, the plane crashed in eastern Ukraine at 1621 local time, in an area that has seen intense fighting between the Ukrainian military and pro-Russian separatists in recent months, near the village of Grabovo, some 40km from the Russian border.

The plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 metres before the crash, leading to claims it was shot down by a surface-to-air missile.

Two U.S. officials said Washington strongly suspected the plane was downed by a sophisticated surface-to-air missile fired by Ukrainian separatists backed by Moscow.

Leaders of the rebels' self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic denied any involvement and said a Ukrainian air force jet had brought down the intercontinental flight.

Russia's Defence Ministry later pointed the finger at Ukrainian ground forces, saying it had picked up radar activity from a Ukrainian missile system south of Donetsk when the airliner was brought down, Russian media reported.

The Ukrainian security council said no missiles had been fired from the armouries of its armed forces.

DOWNING OF MALAYSIA AIRLINES MH17 - Why Was The Airplane Flying Over A Warzone?

Who Shot Down the Malaysian Airliner?
Political blame game begins at crucial time for Ukraine-Russia conflict
A round-up of the latest facts, speculation and the blame game surrounding the alleged shoot down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine.

1. This was a passenger plane flying over rebel territory despite the fact it was well known that pro-Russian rebels had fairly advanced anti-aircraft weaponry, and were using them with increasing success. Alec Luhn, one of the best reporters on the ground covering the conflict, tweeted out that Ukraine authorities allowed flights over the war zone if they were traveling above 7,800 meters; flight MH17 was reportedly shot down at 10,000 meters.

2. In just the past week, rebel antiaircraft missiles have struck at least three Ukrainian air force planes in the region — two Sukhoi-25 fighters, and an An-26 military transport plane. 3. Almost as soon as the plane was downed today, Russian state news agency ITAR-Tass boasted "Donetsk People's Republic militiamen shoot down Ukrainian Air Force An-26". Russian propagandists to turn around and blame it all on the Ukrainians.

5. In 2001, Ukraine's military accidentally shot down a Russian passenger airliner flying over the Black Sea from Tel Aviv to Novorossisk, killing 78 people onboard. After over a week of denials, Ukraine finally admitted responsibility. In 1988, the US Vincennes mistakenly shot down an Iranian passenger plane in the Persian Gulf, killing 290 passengers on board.

President Putin's Plane Might Have Been Target for Missile in Ukraine
"I can say that Putin's plane and the Malaysian Boeing intersected at the same point and the same echelon" Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane was travelling almost the same route as Russia's President Vladimir Putin's jet shortly before the crash that killed 295,
"I can say that Putin's plane and the Malaysian Boeing intersected at the same point and the same echelon. That was close to Warsaw on 330-m echelon at the height of 10,100 meters. The presidential jet was there at 16:21 Moscow time and the Malaysian aircraft -- 15:44 Moscow time," a source told the news agency on condition of anonymity.


"Putin has only one jet -- Board One, he does not fly other planes. This plane always takes off from Vnukovo-3, but the presidential plane have not been flying over Ukraine for a while," the source at Vnukovo-3 terminal said. President Putin was on his way from Brazil, where he attended the BRICS summit, to Moscow.

Flight MH17 crashed in Ukraine on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpar, and was carrying 295 people.

"The plane crashed 60km away from the border, the plane had an emergency beacon," ITAR-TASS cited its source.

Presumptive 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has placed blame for the downing of a Malaysian plane earlier today on Russia.
Almost exactly one year ago, the world was nearly brought to the verge of a global war by proxy involving the US and Russia (and Europe and China) over a staged, false flag YouTube clip "proving" the Assad regime had used toxic gas (gas that was made in Britain as it was later revealed) to kill several hundred civilians in the country's ongoing war against what subsequently turned out to be al-Qaeda funded and trained rebels (and which now are fighting across the border with another former US-puppet state, Iraq). Luckily, back then an all out confrontation was averted in the last minute over what was ultimately nothing but a gambit by Qatar to have its gas pipeline enter Europe and leave Gazprom in the cold (literally and metaphorically)
