In what can be only be seen as a decided hardening of official and public attitudes(at least in The Netherlands) vis a vis the recent shootdown of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, it has been announced that Dutch prosecutors have opened a war crimes case regarding the matter( Dutch law permits war crimes charges to be filed when citizen(s) of the Netherlands are killed in circumstances that justify the charge no matter where or how they died). This in itself means that it is unlikely for the Hague based International Criminal Court to begin its own case(at least until the local prosecutors close their cases), although several of the victims of the shootdown( now all but certainly the handiwork of the "little green men"- Russian forces in mufti as NATO anlaysts call them contrary to Putin's propaganda) were nationals of countries that had signed and/ or ratified the ICC Convention- Australia, UK, the Netherlands- true, Russia has signed but not ratified the Convention and Ukraine has not signed at all(but may do so in the months ahead), but at the very least, the plot thickens!

Anybody else think as I do?
