President Putin can only ever plead that he never expected the shooting down of Malay Flight MH17. If that is his line, the real question for which one must seek an answer becomes: Is President Putin still in charge of affairs in Russia ?
Recently, "very gently" he requested ethnic Russian Rioters in Eastern Ukraine to stop their anti-Government disturbances. However, at the same time Russian troops were carrying out military exercices on the frontier between Russia and Ukraine !
It then became known that the Russian Rioters in Ukraine have Russian made arms, even rocket launchers ! Russian soldiers with hoods seem to be everywhere helping the ethnic Russian Rioters !
Can Putin explain all this ? The answer is he will never admit anything ! The card he will play is to cut-off the Gas Russia supplies to Europe ! He hopes that Merkel will "arrange things" (because Germany is a major Customer for Siberian Gas) by not following the American line against Russia. This would particularly suit Putin and his Oligarch Friends who have Billions invested in western banks ! Sanctions against them and Russia are biting !
The USA and the EU must organise themselves before the Winter arrives. Furthermore, as this blog has already suggested, Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine must request the UNO for an international Peace Keeping Force in Ukraine and on the borders with Russia !
Russia has already "stolen" Crimea when Western Diplomats and Politicians were asleep, but Putin will patiently bide his time and then suddenly try to recover Eastern Ukraine ! That is his dream as the President of Russia !
