Russia & flight MH17
The crash of fllght MH317 and the difficulties in the days after accessing the crash site has left the world wondering what sort of people are running Russia.
History rarely repeats itself identically but there are strong parallels with South Korean flight 007 which was shot down by a Soviet fighter jet on 1 September 1983. Afterwards sanctions on the USSR, that had started after the invasion of Afghanistan in 1978, went into overdrive helping to accelerate the collapse of the Soviet regime.
It is hard to say whether this is the end-game for Putin and United Russia, but it is the Russian people that will ultimately suffer.
