I honestly don't think we will know who shot the plane down. We can guess and assume but there'll be a fair amount of reasonable doubt. What we have is a bunch of things pointing at Rebels, but no hard proof
Interesting subversive comment, designed to gently direct the attention in the desired direction. Almost a Jedi mind trick...
What we have so far, is a bunch of thing pointing to the plane being shot by machine gun fire
from both sides of the plane, targeting the cockpit, killing the pilots, and ripping the airframe. Whether it was NATO air force or Ukrainian air force that did it is a big question, but one thing is certain, the freedom fighters had neither means, opportunity, nor motive to shoot that plane down (and stop that AN-26 nonsense - the altitudes are incomparable). On the other hand, it is highly visible who gained the most from this false flag.
I find it interesting that these two-name newbie accounts started cropping up now. Something seems not to be going right the the West-field players in the big game...
