Will Russia be held accountable for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight 17?

Asked by MrGrimm888 (18996points) October 4th, 2016

Recently, an investigation into the crash (by the Dutch ) was finished. It concluded that the plane was brought down by a sophisticated antiaircraft missile system of Russian design. There were also reports of witnesses seeing the system moved from Russia into the Crimean peninsula , by pro Russian forces. And subsequently moved back into Russia.

Reports indicate that the weapons system is highly advanced, and it’s complexity negates the possibility of a terrorist, or untrained group using it. Therefore only a group of soldiers well trained in its use could have successfully targeted such a airliner traveling at such altitude and speed.

Over 200 people on board were killed, mostly Dutch citizens.

There were reports of pro Russian troops attempting to remove recovered debris from the wreckage / crash site. Which at the time was hard to reach,as it was in a war zone.

Wars have been started over less. Yes, it was stupid to fly over a war zone, even at that altitude, but Russian forces essentially murdered over 200 civilians. And then it was covered up,as best as possible.

Will anything ever come of this? What can be done, realistically?
