Your letters: Shooting down of flight MH17

Neither Russia nor the pro-Russian rebels had anything to gain by shooting down Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 but in their efforts to demonize Russia and those who do not want to be under the control of the cruel Ukrainian government in Kiev, the US and NATO have much to gain

Your letters:  Shooting down of flight MH17

N

either Russia nor the pro-Russian rebels had anything to gain by shooting down Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 but in their efforts to demonize Russia and those who do not want to be under the control of the cruel Ukrainian government in Kiev, the US and NATO have much to gain.

The US, on behalf of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), started this war when the formerly elected president chose to reject the IMF '€œenslavement'€ agreement and accept Russia'€™s offer of financial assistance.  

I believe that a Ukrainian military jet fired the missile that caused the crash of Flight MH17 and the death of 298 precious souls. The evidence is that a worker in the control tower, who heard and saw what had happened, was immediately fired and threatened, and the recordings have been destroyed by the Ukrainian government to hide from the world the truth of who the evil people are who carried out this terrible deed.

I am a Canadian. I have no part in this ongoing war; only following the events and reports from both sides and I have no doubt that the US and Kiev are guilty.

My heart truly goes out to all those who lost family and friends.

It is very simple to stop this war; as Russia has said again and again, sit down and talk but the Kiev '€œpresident'€ wants to kill every Russian he can, daily killing Ukrainians as well in his senseless bombing and shelling of Ukrainian cities and towns '€” destroying his own country as he claims to be protecting it.

What utter blindness actions!
