You fly around Africa and over the Indian Ocean - like the Portuguese sailors used to do, but on the water.

More Russian lies. The launcher was in rebel territory.

"Moreover, the claim had been debunked long before the press conference took place. For example, on July 20 an authoritative blogger Anatoly Vorobey http://avva.livejournal.com/2787603.html analyzed the photo of the same Buk made on July 17, and proved beyond doubt (by way of comparison with other photos) that it was made in Torez, i.e. on the territory held by the “separatists”, and thus couldn’t have been on the Ukrainian-controlled territory the next day (when the video was made). Moreover, the claim that one can read the name of the street on the poster in the video is a direct lie, the text on the video is simply unreadable. But the same ad was found online, and the words are not “Dnepropetrovskaya 34”, but rather “natsionalnyj avtodiler” (“national autodealer”).

When faced with actual conspiracy in their face, they . . .would rather believe the conspirators (Russian and Russian backed separatists) than US Media and US Govt (which has never launched such a elaborate conspiracy plan as this.

Hell proof is in the pudding, we shot down the Iranian passenger jet and didn't run from it. . .
Agreed.

RT's first explanation was "the evil Ukrainians tried to kill Putin" until they realized that made no bloody sense whatsoever. Now they're in full "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" mode. Your average six-year-old has already learned that as a strategy for absolving oneself of blame, that one doesn't work. But Russia has never really been good at message management - and after the wall fell and they ran out of money to pay Western collaborators, their attempts grow downright embarrassing.

Give it up. No one is going to believe you.

The current fighting is happening because Russia cannot accept the fact that months ago, the ethnic Ukrainian people stood up to the ethnic Russian minority and fought for freedom and democracy against the ethnic Russian dictator Yanukovich.
Russia hates skin contact with the West, don't they? One would think that a country with a bit of self-confidence would be fine with that, but Russia seems to have nothing but swagger. Massive inferiority complex.

Why do you believe the rebels didn't let international monitors to the crash site? Because it was reported by Obama and his puppet Poroshenko who stared accusing the rebels 3 minutes after the plane crash? Prior any investigation? It is very odd. Isn't it?
President Poroshenko warned the international commission that he can't garantee their safety in the area because the rebels are very aggressive and won't stop fight.
But in fact, there are youtube videos (in russian) which are 2 days old where "the terrorists" say we are stopping all war actions in the area of 25 km and still waiting for the international commissioners, but where are they? Why they still don't come? WE ARE READY TO ACCEPT THEM HERE AND WE GARANTEE THEIR SAFETY!
So why Poroshenko lied and wasted time of the arrived international investigators?

There is no whodunit here.
So, why NATO still don't publish all the data?
I give you the answer - because NATO understood who is really responsible for the plane crash and they are weren't the rebels.

There are many interesting things online but the street was Dnepropetrovskaya #34 and the town was Krasnogvardeysk where ukrainian army deployed.
And it's really hard to believe that the rebels could allow any passerby to freely film the BUK.

That's fine.
I just express my opinion but I don' think that your position may have any value at all.
So I really don't care about your belief.
