Nile Bowie, Asia Times: Five years on, no answers to who felled MH17
Asia Times examines in two parts why Malaysia’s premier and others doubt a Dutch-led probe’s finding that Russia shot down flight MH17
Five years ago, scenes of horror unfolded across the sunflower fields of eastern Ukraine.
Shot out of the sky, the smoldering fuselage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 tumbled back to earth with 298 passengers aboard, unwitting victims of the single deadliest incident of a still-festering civil war on Europe’s periphery.

Unpopular opinion: white people love dogs so much because deep down they miss owning slaves. They love the owner and master dynamic, desperate for something to control.

Britain's ambassador to the US blasted the White House under Bill Clinton 25 years ago as 'chaotic
"The file, dated May 1994 and sent to the Foreign Office, added: ‘White House organisation remains chaotic. Clinton continues to have difficulty winning the approval of more than 50 per cent of the American people and
that could be constant throughout his presidency.’
He noted Mr Clinton was ‘concerned’ about his treatment by the British media, adding his White House had an ‘excessive preoccupation’ with the Press."
