The MH17 Trial Verdict: An Anti-Russia Scam

by Stephen Lendman

On July 14, 2014, Malaysia Airlines (MH17) was downed over Donetsk en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

All 283 passengers and 15 crew members aboard were killed.

Russia had nothing to do with what happened.

Nor did Donbass freedom fighters.

No credible evidence suggested their involvement in what happened.

The Obama/Biden regime orchestrated what was carried out by Ukrainian Nazis — an act of state-sponsored terrorism to falsely blame on Russia.

Moscow was denied involvement in the so-called Joint Investigation Team (JIT), comprised of the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Malaysia and Ukrainian Nazis.

Conducting its own forensic analysis, Russia discovered that serial numbers on missile fragments responsible for downing MH17 showed the following: 

It was manufactured by Soviet Russia in 1986, shipped to Ukraine and owned by its authorities when still a USSR republic. 

So-called video footage allegedly showing the BUK-M1 missile transported from Russia to Ukraine ahead of the July 2014 incident was fake, Russian investigators explained.

An audio recording of radio communications at the time of the incident showed Kiev's involvement in what happened.

Indisputable evidence absolving the Kremlin isn't good enough when the US-dominated West wants it falsely blamed for what it had nothing to do with.

What possible benefit could Russia have gotten from downing a commercial aircraft?

The US-dominated West and Ukrainian Nazis alone benefitted by framing Russia — unjustifiably.

Yet on Thursday, a Dutch kangaroo court in the Hague — one convened to rubber-stamp conviction — found two Russian nationals and one Ukrainian guilty, a third Russian acquitted, following trial proceedings conducted in absentia.

Falsely charged individuas held key anti-Kiev positions.

They all denied fabricated accusations against them.

Yet framed individuals were sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment and ordered to pay material compensation to relatives of victims — unjustifiable sentences never to be carried out.

In response to the guilt by accusation rulings, Russian Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman, Ivan Nechayev, said the following on Thursday:

"We will analyze this decision because as far as all these issues go, every nuance matters."

"We will be ready to comment after examining this legal document."

Since the 2014 incident and unjustifiable trial begun on March 9, 2020, Russia disclosed clear evidence of its noninvolvement.

It also expressed no confidence in the so-called JIT — what was established to falsely blame Russia for Kiev's criminal act.

Trial results will be used for Russia-bashing propaganda purposes — in support of Ukrainian Nazis by the US/West.
