5:07 pm
well saakashvili is job goes it looks like he shouldn't be worried about his own finances on his facebook page he posted an official document showing that the new governor of odessa gets a pretty penny from washington almost two hundred thousand dollars a year for comparison the governor of maine gets seventy thousand dollars a year so if odessa became a new u.s. state it would be at the top of the list mr saakashvili should feel right at home in his newly adopted country he is best of friends with fellow color revolutionary leader viktor yuschenko who is the godfather of his son. and then other mothers called us in a lesson in lucia please don't think i should you know that opposed the bill you walk as kind of being it's just sad and you see them leave when out of. even though there's a double chooses to show. you when you're through the but the least of those three is if i did it with you but i'd have to stand on the issue of this boy to

5:09 pm
a criminal investigation before becomes a cold case so there's been this curious element of why is there not greater pressure from both the media and the the western governments to answer these questions but even without any answers the fingers were pointed immediately that's not an accident that is happening because a russian support evidence indicates that the plaintiff was shot down by a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine he believes little celeste other than to put up a national took a stab at the question today kate. the malaysian boeing wasn't the first plane to play a significant part in american russian relationships on september first one thousand nine hundred three korean airlines flight double zero seven from new york to seoul via anchorage was shot down by a soviet interceptor aircraft over the territory of the u.s.s.r.
5:10 pm
in the sea of japan there was absolutely no justification. i don't legal or moral for what the soviets did the tragedy of the korean bowing was considered a perfect occasion to demonstrate the nato military power within dangerous proximity to the soviets on nov second one thousand nine hundred eighty three nato launched able archer attend a command post exercise simulating a conflict escalation culminating in a nuclear attack that was followed by placing pershing two nuclear missiles in europe. what reagan didn't take into consideration was the paranoid overreaction of the soviets. and the recently declassified us intelligence report shows that for the first time since the cuban missile crisis the world was that close to nuclear war. just like in one thousand nine hundred three the malaysian boeing crash was leveraged against the enemy. a new wave of sanctions

hit russia mediately after the tragedy. the united states is imposing new sanctions and key sectors of the russian economy almost a year in three months later the dutch safety board published a report that is itself a flight m.h. seventy crashed because often that i have three well four or i have the today just outside of the airplane avesta left side of the cockpit the report didn't blame any specific group or person and estimated a very wide area of three hundred twenty kilometers as a zone from which the missiles fired at the same time the russian producer of boog missiles day conducted its own independent investigation. that they speeded me up the fullest. lou of the delegates i mean the nist is up a school during the experiment they blew up a retired airliner with
5:12 pm
a buka missile and came to the conclusion that the malaysian plane was brought down by the older thai. of missiles not used by russia anymore but still in the possession of ukraine the company claims that the missile was launched from the territory controlled by the ukrainian military. one would expect that these controversial results would again stir up public interest in the investigation but the tragedy of malaysian flight m h seventeen at already played its role in the big geopolitical game therefore it was soon forgotten the goal was achieved after the third wave of sanctions hit russia the tensions between the two countries skyrocketed so the question presents itself are we truly witnessing the beginning of cold war two point zero and if so what are our chances to survive at this time.
