The problem is, it wasn't intentional. They seem to have thought they were attacking a Ukrainian military plane. There wasn't any strategy in this.

So hitting Ukrainian planes is OK? There wasn't any kind of terrorists that I'm aware of who got access to such a sophisticated weapons. And no one of those 'monkeys' could even handle with that 'BUK'. It's obvious that only trained army team could make this launch and it's obvious for us(Ukrainians here) that after brutal annexation of Crimea , this sick freak wont stop until he gets punched in the face. He doesn't understand any other language other that rude force. Ukraine is weak, much weaker that Russia now. Mostly because the very same Russia-oriented mafia clans. Former government of Ukraine is now hiding in Russia and they wont be judged there. Russia's mission number one was to prove that Ukraine is a failed-state. This is the main reason why all this happening. Max explains the rest in his post.

Ukraine is a failed state otherwise there shouldn't be incentive to start cruel and poorly planned revolt like Euromaidan in the first place.

I never said it was okay? I said there wasn't any strategy to it. Don't put words in my mouth.

I was only saying that it wasn't intentional, there was no strategy behind it, so you can't really ask "What were they thinking" because they weren't. You knee-jerked yourself into oblivion.

So they murdered the wrong people?

So do you think any war is a playground where they decide the outcome with a chess game?
