As I stated in yesterdays article, the western Ukrainian government is the aggressive side in this proxy war right now. They have been shelling cities wholesale and high altitude bombing runs with high civilian causalities. Despite their tactics the have not been able to make much headway in retaking eastern Ukrainian cities. In my opinion, the newly appointed government in Kiev by far has the most to gain from possibly redirecting a commercial airliner into a hot war zone. If that plane would be shot down by mistake or intention they would be able to demonize their opposition further in the minds of the international community. Further this would lead to more NATO support and possible US intervention into the area.
I am not a fan of Putin, however, just because you may not like somebody doesn’t mean you should forgo your common sense and ability to critically think about the facts and their implications. I encourage everyone to think for yourself, because if you let the mainstream media do your thinking for you….your in trouble on so many levels.
