My opinion so far has mostly that the downing of MH17 was an error. Separatist Russian-speaking rebels were attempting to shoot down attacks incoming from Kiev. Kiev and related air traffic control should have routed commercial aircraft around the war zone (where they, themselves, were attacking by air) but failed to do so. This could have been an unintended error. Meanwhile, the rebels should not have shot down a commercial aircraft by mistake, but this was another unintended error. Thus, errors on both sides resulted in the downing of MH17, and no particular guilt lies on the side of the Russian-speaking rebels. If anything, the faulty air traffic control was the bigger mistake, and identifying civilian from non-civilian aircraft from many miles away is a tricky business, which is why civilian flights should not be going through air war zones.
Western versions of the story leave out the bits about the incoming air attacks, and don't even think about the air traffic control issue, and end up leaving all the supposedly intentional fault with the Russians. There were some intelligence photos revealed by the western side in the weeks that followed, but strangely none of the incident itself, only a week after, and far away, showing an alleged troop buildup, which cast more doubt (why didn't they show photos from the actual incident, or beforehand) than certainty, IMO.
In fact, there was an even more elaborate Ukrainian story, in which Russians intended to shoot down a Russian plane as a false flag to justify a imminent Russian invasion. This story completely lacks evidence, in particular, that troops had been massing beforehand. However, another version of the false flag actually fits the available evidence, that Ukrainian authorities deliberately routed civilian aircraft through the war zone to cause an "accident" to happen, thereby creating pretext for a western invasion.
A very detailed examination of the evidence by GlobalResearch highlights the possibility that the downing was a Ukranian-engineered false flag.
I haven't had time to read all this and leave it here as bookmark.
