Still the outrage is not as significant as it should be. Like protests, news interviews, day of mourning etc

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott described the attack as an horrific act that “raises the stakes” in the dispute between Russia and the Ukraine, saying the Russia wanted to “stir up trouble” and that the likely attackers were “Russian proxies”. He said Russia was involved in an “outrageous” attempt to bully a neighbour.
Flags will be flown at half-mast across Australia tomorrow. Abbott also announced there would be a National Day of Mourning.
2nd tragedy this year for Malaysian Airline
Probably Russian thought it was Ukrainian military plane approaching Russia and shot it down.
If it was not for Gaza, it would be either US economic meltdown, or Afghanistan, or Africa or Iran or NK or some other random events that take place. Conspiracy theorists just need to come up with something leaving aside the plain fact.
The fact is its an international known air corridor, the fact is rebels / fighters have taken down aircrafts just a few days ago. The fact is rebel leaders claimed it downed and then retreated when they knew they messed up, 295 people are dead and someone is the culprit and will pay and conspiraciess dont hold up in court.
It was Ukrainian who shot down Israel plane above Black Sea
As some sane analyst observed that it is EU/NATO over-reach that has precipitated this conflict and hence the present situation.
I can not but agree with this view. Rather than keep Ukraine as a buffer state and an enduring channel for EU-Russia balance, EU/NATO has ensured that Russians adopt unconventional strategy to deal with them. As far back as early 90s Ukraine was suspected to be the fault-line that would rupture one day.
Western narratives invariably prop own interests in guise of human rights, democracy, & freedoms of various sorts, via monopolizing coverage via CNN, BBC, etc... I've been seeing all this develop in Iraq, Syria, & now Ukraine. However you see it, at the end of the day, it is about money, influence, and cutting off future challenges. Any improvement in human rights, or democracy, or freedoms are purely incidental.
I am reminded of the incident of Shoe-tossing at Bush by a journalist in Baghdad in Dec 2008 (?). I was visiting USA back then. I was surprised to see common gullible Americans wondering why someone would do this to the US President since he had 'liberated' and 'freed' Iraqis.
The proverbial shoe necklace that seems ready to be hung around Putin's neck really is made in EU.
Sad part of the story is, It was innocent civilians from other countries and an air craft of a far away nation who paid the price for this strategic game....I read somewhere there are about 18 similar cases, out of which 2 are done by Russia, 1 by US, 1 by Israel, ....
