Often overlooked: the company of Malaysian Air has suffered to total losses in short time, and is now in economically troubled waters. Many business insiders say it is done. That's a lot of families and employees loosing their jobs and financial basis.

Is it impious to mention that, compared to those who mourn losses in lives? No, it is not. For the families in Malaysia the problems are as real as for the families in Netherlands, Germany, and elsewhere. Different, but real.

Since I do not give the Ukrainian "government" any more credibility than the politicians in Moscow or the mob bosses in Donezk and Luhansk, their declaration that they do not miss any missile is as trustworthy for me like Putin claiming something, anything. The lie is an opportunist by nature. What Kiew wants is the same what Georgia wanted in 2006: the West entering war with Russia.

Wait until the association process between Ukraine and not the EU, but the NATO starts to get formalised. That will become a big fun! After all that American plan was what got the show started in last autumn. And the Ukraine will not survive that in its current format. Moscow will rip it into two parts at least.

The West still thinks it is completely innocent in all this. It never was. Chances are without that secret diplomatic process of turning the Ukraine into a NATO member the war of today would not got started, and the Crimean would still belong to the Ukraine. After all, the economical costs for Moscow are immense. The intention to push Ukraine into NATO - became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
