for the records: I would never say Putin is responsible for this.
Putin is responsible for supplying the people that do not agree with the Ukrainian government (in case "pro-Russian rebel" is the wrong expression) with supplies and "vacationing" personnel. Which he said himself on TV and which was also confirmed by the former Russian (as in: has Russian nationality/passport) rebel leader Strelkov. Who was also pissed that Putin didn't send more weapons - there is a long interview with him about the whole thing.
and I still think the Buk was captured and used by the unhappy folks (aka rebels) from Eastern Ukraine who screwed up - as heard in that radio (phone?) recording that disappeared and shown on video when they searched through the remains of MH17 and were surprised it's a civil plane.
