The blame belongs goes to the following.
Ukraine for diverting the flight after they knew about recent attacks on aircraft in that region

Just one point on "legality". The Kiev Junta is not the "legal" government of Ukraine.

Reality is apparently what big media tells us it is.

my hunch is that the ukraine gave the nod, simply because they need outside intervention to quell the uprising.

an international "false flag" so to speak. i do not believe that russia gave the nod to do this because they are not stupid, they knew everyone would point the finger at them....

we have supplied many more weapons, to many more half-cocked, half-rocked, banana republics and resistance movements, than russia, or the soviet union for that matter in it's entire existence.....

the real fault in all of this is the person(s), who made the decision to overfly a war zone, especially when you keep in mind it is a war zone that aircraft are being shot down in. if that plane had not been in that area, it would not have been shot down. this is the one fact that caused it.
Just one point on "legality". The Kiev Junta is not the "legal" government of Ukraine. For better or worse, they did overthrow the elected government. So what exactly is this about government "legality" you speak of? Its their legal right to send passenger planes into a civil war zone? Pssshh. Lol. Ok sure.
"The flight path taken by MH17 was approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization and by the countries whose airspace the route passed through,” said Liow Tiong Lai at a news conference in Kuala Lumpur on Friday. “Fifteen out of 16 airlines in the Assn. of Asia Pacific Airlines fly this route over Ukraine.”
The airlines said that the course taken by the plane was a common one and that another flight from a different airliner was on the same route at the time of the MH17 crash in the region of Donetsk near the Russian border.
