US and Russian Relationship - Ukraine Crisis

CNN - Politics: Reports the following, " The United States predicts the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, likely by pro-Russian rebels, will fundamentally shift the relationship between Russia and the international community. "

Lets Get Real:

It is time for the Oval and the West to understand that we are back in another Cold War, the Russians are not our friends, they are the constant enemy and Putin is a would be STALIN if he got the chance.   The the Western mindset that the Cold War WAS OVER, has to be removed, the new Berlin Wall is the Ukraine, the threat that Russia will miss read the West is high, the Putin Regime could try its luck in the Baltic States or even try to take over the entire Ukraine.  The West has to increase defence spending, NATO should focus more on the threat from the East.   President Obama should ask himself what would JFK or Reagan do with the Putin threat. 

The Black Boxes of MH17 - Ukraine Crisis

Telegraph - Ukraine Live: Reports in its 2.24pm post the following, " Remember, there are conflicting reports on where the black boxes are.  Ukraine says they are concerned the rebels could have them, and they could be taken to Moscow.   This morning the separatists said they did not have them. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we have two world views, we have the real world that the Russian rebels either shot down the plane or had Russian military support to shoot down the plane, at the end of the day the finger points to President Putin, while the Russian view is that its the fault of the Kiev Government for not having control  of its land.   At this rate any evidence at the crash site, will either be removed, destroyed or made to look like it was the fault of the Ukraine forces.   The rebels are under the control of Moscow, thus this delay is a tactic by Moscow to clean house, make sure the best it can that no one can point the finger at Putin.     It would be better for the Western intelligence to work from its own sources, satellite images, human spies and any telephone or mobile messages picked up.   It is time for the West to call Russia what it is, an Evil Empire out of control. 

The LINK between Russian Rebels and Russia - Ukraine Crisis

Guardian - Ukraine Live: Reports in its 1.51pm post the following, " Ukraine says it has "compelling evidence" Russia played a defining role in the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner by providing the rebels with missile systems and a crew.  Vitaly Naida, the country's counter intelligence chief, said Kiev had proof that three BUK-1 or SA-11 radar-guided missile systems had entered Ukraine from Russia along with a three-man crew. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians, in a sense the rebels and Russia are playuing a game one step behind, they are trying to destory evidence that they shot down the plane down, well in way the argument has moved on from there, the West 100% in its view that the Russian rebels shot down the missile, they just want the proof that Russia either supplied the missle or helped train the Russian rebels in the Ukraine.  If President Putin was clever he would find a FALL GUY, someone to take the blame, then try to move ahead of the issue, rather the Kremlin is playing catch up with the news from the Ukraine.   The more the West looks the less it likes what it sees, thus expect the Oval to place pressure on the EU for tougher sanctions, kind of sanctions that will make those close to Putin to questin his leadership.    The rich supporters of the Kremlin should be made to feel the cost of that support, more pressure ON Putin and his friends the better chance to get the Russian bear to back off. 

The Aftermath of MH17 - Ukraine Crisis

BBC News: Reports that " Ukraine has accused pro-Russian rebels of trying to destroy evidence of " international crimes" at the crash site of a Malaysia Airlines plane. "

Lets Get Real:

It is no breaking news that Russia and its rebels would try to remove any trace that Russians rebels shot down MH17, if there is evidence the trail  would go back to Moscow, the Kremlin WILL NOT allow the West to make the connections from East Ukraine to Moscow, since any such evidence would force EU to tighten its sanction on Russia, and the US Congress will force the Obama Administration to bring Putin's economy to its knees.    The West should place a 12 months suspension on any trade with Russia,  ALL Citizens should be warned that they go to Russia at their own risk , also as stated BY Mr O of the Factor the Credit Card companies should refuse to take any bills from Russia, time to curb the Russian bear, make it go back to sleep and recall it lost the Cold War.
