Frankly the western leaders like Merkel, Hollande and Obama couldn't give a rats arse about Ukraine other than they want to keep the country out of the Russian paws. And quite frankly Putin doesn't give a rat's arse about Ukraine other than that he wants to keep an influence there and not have the EU and NATO butting up smack dab to Russia.
In memory of my kitty Seryozha 14.2.1996 ~ 13.9.2016 and Shadow 3.4.2015 - 16.4.21
History will show one of two things. Crimea is Ukraine or Russia is not. And so far, history repeats itself repeatedly. We will die & time will still tell the facts as those who follow, perceive.
Perception is one thing. There are pro Russian citizens fighting the Ukrainian's peace. Why is Russian occupying that space, at this time ? That's all we must ask ourselves. The questions and responses are all rhetoric. We can either choose to love our neighbor or wage war against them.

I'm hoping we continue to avoid getting more involved in Europe especially Ukraine because they don't care about us one bit

Blame the old Colonial Powers ( GB & France) who carved up that part in the world and created Iraq, Iran, Syria etc. Those were never countries to begin with.

Or, alternatively, the cradle of civilization in the fertile crescent developed into what were the original "countries" on this planet.
Then again, that part of the world had helpful visits from the Space Brothers way back then. They were believed to be "gods" at the time but that's semantics; after all, What's the practical difference between supernatural magic and sufficiently advanced technology? Most of us would be considered Wizards if we were mysteriously transported back in time, or to a primitive culture.

I truly think the biggest threat of world war 3 starting is the Israeli's, you mark my words if it ever happens Israel will trigger it
My bet would be China vs Japan (lots of old bad blood there) or China vs Russia. Russia has what China needs and Russia is in a continual state of decline (easy pickings).

China expanding their influence in the Pacific is quit a real scenario, China going after Russia is a far stretch though. China wouldnt be able to handle Russia not even on a good day, the logistics of it would prove to be a nightmare on biblical portions, millions of troops pouring into Russia would be met with a barrage of strategic nuclear missiles, the areas surrounding the Russian/Chinese borders are not strategic spots and would not hurt Russia to wipe out.
There are other "Hot Spots" Such as Korea, India/Pakistan but in my opinion the greatest threat is Israel attacking Iran, Russia would back Iran I think and the USA is sworn to defend Israel.
<< <i>There are other "Hot Spots" Such as Korea, India/Pakistan but in my opinion the greatest threat is Israel attacking Iran, Russia would back Iran I think and the USA is sworn to defend Israel. >>
It is kind of like reconstructing the Big Bang, but in reverse.
I don't think that in your scenario Putin would want to se the end of the world, but who knows.
Israel does appear to be the ultimate sink-hole for us. We have been the sole carriers of western guilt for the holocaust for some time now, and it's difficult to imagine a scenario in which we would stand back and allow its destruction.
The middle east is in irreversible turmoil, where the triumphalism of the eventual power(s) there are almost certainly going to exercise that triumphalism by addressing that chronic and festering western-imposed "humiliation" of a Jewish state once and for all. The best we could hope for, perhaps, is the peacefully coerced-transformation of Israel into a non-Jewish entity, without its intermediate destruction.
Has everyone forgotten the 1980's? We helped Saddam against Iran by having US arms dealers sell him Russian made weapons at the same time we facilitated the sale of American armaments to Iran via Israel so the war would continue to grind on . We stood by idly while Saddam gassed Iranians and Kurdish people in his own country and then used WMD as an excuse to attack him in 2003.
Our leaders encourage war , they feast on death , they wallow in the blood of these foreigners like pigs in a stye . If push comes to shove though they will have no problem spilling American blood right here at home too.
<< <i>The best we could hope for, perhaps, is the peacefully coerced-transformation of Israel into a non-Jewish entity, without its intermediate destruction. >>
As we coerced Iraq and Afghanistan into peaceful entities? Radical Islam will not sleep until the non Muslim world is in cinders. Israel is a non factor.
All are reporting a missile with out any proof. Ukraine denies it was them. How about the scenario of an on board explosive? The kind we've been alerted about.
missile finds the hottest target in the general area regardless of what it is aimed at. Could be a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If the plane was intentionally shot down it was most likely done by whomever stands to gain from the tragedy and least likely done by whomever suffers from the tragedy. And it could have been done in order to have someone else blamed. I will be looking to US media to tell me who did it and then logic will tell me who was really behind it. It's not like there have been no other false flag events to stir support one way or another.

The best news report and quote is from the group of evolutionists at CNBC, it was quite fascinating as I watched it reminded me of the Tick and his sidekick, evolutionist reporter Michele Cabruso-Cabrera reported " we are reporting (to the nation) the claim that the black box has been found, we can't confirm or verify this, but once again we are reporting the black box has been found"... Hilarious...
Back in the day I used to work a newsroom during plane crashes, bombings, and assasinations, etc...the reporting screening process today is disgusting. I am ashamed of todays journalism and have been for a solid 15+ years. What goes on today we were taught would wind us up in court.
As of 2 hours ago I felt google was filtering my searches for crash information via non US media outlets. I don't feel confident in getting the honest story with this at all.

It's looking like Russian trained the insurgents and provided them with major league weapons, but didn't consider well the consequences of a thin and tenuous chain of command. FUBAR and black eye for Russia here, no question.
No question Putin owns this. Russia desparately seeks a leader however this guy is proving to be a train wreck. I have no crystal ball but I see Brazil, Russia and Chinese economies circling the drain. That's 3/4 of the BRIC end run on the IMF and the almighty buck.
Yellen is about to switch gears and advocate possible interest rate increases.
The BRICS may start eating their young. The dollar is going to look to be the REAL safe haven, as if it isn't already.
Gold and silver prices seem to me to be way overpriced right now. JMHO

Appears somebody diverted that flight path into the danger zone. Who benefits from the shootdown? Ukraine government is the first to come to mind.
By the way, is our Sec. of State on vacation? Two major world events and I haven't seen hide nor hair of him. Probably for the best.

Ukraine story has been buried by ISIS and the fall of Iraq.
Israeli theatre will heat up as the 3 missing teens were found murdered. Bibi will certainly get his pound of flesh.
The world seems much more unsettled than say....5 and a half years ago.
