After Australian PM praised Japanese soldiers in WWII, China started to throw dirty words too. LOL

Why did a Chinese newspaper call Australia a nation of ‘rascals and outlaws?’ - The Washington Post

I reckon. He was throwing accusations at Russia yesterday with the scantest of evidence and then Julie Bishop was amazed that the Russian foreign minister and all his underlings would not take her call.

I was thinking the same thing, not to mention Western intelligence knew there were missile systems in the area capable of taking down a plane over 30K feet. Where was the warning to the airlines to stop flying over a warzone?, seems pretty freaken obvious with hindsight.

Seems there are multiple parties to blame, but Russia seems to be taking most of the heat in the Western Media and Tony Abott amongst others just seems to be towing the USA line.
