The "vote" took place after 30,000 Russian troops poured out of Sevastopol (in breach of their treaty with the Ukraine). I'd love to see you adequately explain what you think it was those soldiers were doing if not invading a Sovereign country?

Except the rebels admitted to having at last one launcher.
The flight never descended. It was at 33,000 feet the entire time.

They were just enjoying the local culture.

And the launcher is designed to work either as part of a system or independently.

And none of them were in range of MH17. Look at it like this, Russia has shown that Ukraine had BUKs deployed. Yet, they have not claimed that any of those BUKs fired. If the Ukranians did this why haven't Russia made that claim?

Not necessarily no. It makes a lot more sense that this was a tragic accident by the rebels, than the Ukrainian military did it to set them up considering that absolutely nothing has happened as a result.

Because evidence is crucial. Russia uses real intel
Ah yes real Russian intel...
Very credible indeed.

Because there was no reason for them to be in firing position, since the rebels have no aircraft. The rebels on the other hand, have used them at least one other time to shoot down an aircraft. They also apparently were waiting for an AN-26 to come into the area, which would require the use of this missile system. The circumstantial evidence points to the rebels a lot more than it does to the Ukrainians.

So now you have a device to measure somebody's intentions. How do you know what Ukrainians are up to.

What is this "since rebels have no aircraft". Then why SAM deployments at all. If we apply logic to your statement, it is absolutely clear that Ukraine government shot down MH17 intentionally.
