MH 17, The Vincennes, And China

Shooting down a passenger jet is a big deal; what happens in the aftermath is a bigger deal.  In the short term, we probably will have a hard time getting the truth, but the politics and international jostling won't stop regardless of which side fucked up.  Will Russia be pushed to China?  That sounds unlikely at this point given the Russian push to invest in and get closer to the wealthier countries in Western Europe.  I guess we'll see in the long term, but in the short term, the focus should be on a cease-fire in Ukraine and a negotiated end to the civil war.
