While I'm with you on all of what you wrote about Putin and "maskirovka", the next question that needs to be answered is why was Malaysia airlines and MH370 selected as the target? Why not another airline any of the western ones, with more European or US citizens aboard? Why one headed for China with most passengers being Chinese citizen…
While I'm with you on all of what you wrote about Putin and "maskirovka", the next question that needs to be answered is why was Malaysia airlines and MH370 selected as the target? Why not another airline any of the western ones, with more European or US citizens aboard? Why one headed for China with most passengers being Chinese citizens? What when the plan would have been compromised or the aircraft would have been found and the Chinese found out about the culprit, would they now be friends with each other or would the strategic political scene be quite different to the present one?
More so shooting down MH 17 shortly afterwords would have been a great risk to the "maskirovka' MH370 disappearance, basically telling the world "we did it again". Why not shooting down another airliner, on the same spot in the same hour?
If both events have been interconnected, they had to have a common planning and a common planning timeline, which I can't see at the moment. MH370 as we see it needed meticulous planning in advance, I go that far it was detailed down to the airline, the routing, the special flight and might be even to the crew, if we give the simulator stuff a grain of credibility. MH17 could not have been planned in detail, it was more like Putin calling his fried in the Donbass telling him " pick up a Sam, drive it across the border and shoot down an airliner. Make it look like it's the Ukrains, and get the system back out of there pronto."
To connect both events together is obvious, to construct a single common motive seems obvious too, but I' m not convinced about that. Playing devils advocate here, lets assume the Chinese were behind MH370 and some event in the search triggered them to believe that they'd need some outside help to cover up. So a call reaches Moskau to shoot down an Malaysian Flight airliner asap, they would get the favour back later. Would be a win-win situation for both, Russia gets an new ally, and can blame the Ukraines and the search and accident investigation are delayed and diverted.
One is fact, the Chinese played MH370 and MH17 way below the expected, unparalleled unemotional and today they are very good freinds.
These are great questions. Just speaking to the part about why MH370 was targeted, I think the important thing to understand is that the use of BFO and BTO to decipher where the plane went, in the absence of any other clues, could only be used with a small minority of flights. I've detailed this elsewhere in the podcast, but it would have to be a particular kind of plane with a particular kind of Inmarsat subscription flying in a particular part of the world, flying at a certain time of day--in short, the list of possible targets was not very large.

That is a very interesting theory- the possibility of Chinese involvement. There was much speculation regarding how they reacted/responded to crisis.
