I am on an airplane at 35,045 feet above the Atlantic. I am returning from Amsterdam to my home in the US. But my heart is still with my clients in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and today most of all in the Netherlands.

Just before I left, the Joint Investigative Task-Force for MH17 made the bravest, most critical decision made by a nation state in the history of the sordid tale of Malaysian Airlines flight, MH17. The Dutch-led criminal investigation held a press conference and true to their real and powerful drive for justice they declared a truth that many have been waiting almost four years to hear.

On July 17, 2014, a Russian Buk M1 TELAR, a launch unit for a deadly and technologically superior surface-to-air missile system fired a single missile at a commercial flight, flight MH17, which carried too many wives, husbands, parents, brothers and sisters and loved ones destined to die.

They died alone and desperately afraid and the speeches and assurances of many politicians about supporting them and fighting for justice have been hollow. The JIT and the leadership of the Dutch has changed all of that. The missile was Russian.

They spoke and declared that a Russian regular army military group carried the missile into the Ukraine and killed all of the innocents on MH-17 with efficient brute force over the sunflower fields of the Donbass. The investigation put up it's evidence. Many, many photographs, and videos used to fingerprint the TELAR 3x2 unit . The actual pieces of a spent Buk M1, 9M38 series Russian surface-to-air missile found among the wreckage of MH17. The geo-location of the route from Kursk to Torez.
