However, US State Department spokesperson Marie Harf refused to directly acknowledge that the Kiev authorities are violating the Minsk peace agreements, turning a blind eye to daily OSCE reports that equally implicate the government and the rebel forces.
The US government will not unveil any additional data concerning last years crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine, Mary Harf, spokeswoman for the US State Department, said during a briefing on Wednesday.
"Weve given information to the investigators if we thought it was relevant," Harf said. "At the time, I remember us actually putting out maps. And those maps included where we believed, where we had evidence that this missile was fired from."
what do you want the US to do? we know about it and.... unlike the Russians, Germans and French we weren't part of the peace talks (nor should we have been). the peace talks gave no way of enforcing peace to those that signed it, offered no penalties either. Russia is the only one who has talked about upping the game.
We didn't need to be there if our views were represented by the other countries.
And us sending troops and hardware to Ukraine immediately after the truce wasn't upping the game?
you mean 100 troops to the WESTERN side of Ukraine. and the hardware was already in place to be shipped out whether or not the agreement was signed. and remember the agreement was signed and thanks to Russia it didn't go into effect until 2 weeks later....hmmm. seems like weapons were what they needed, but we sent them night vision goggles and mortar round tracking equipment. If the peace talks had held why would it have mattered if we sent in a training group?
No I mean the 300 we sent along with Humvees.
Does that reflect a peaceful move? No, it only cements the fact that we don't want peace.

So when we do a joint exercise with an entire MEU of Marines (~1300) in Thailand with the Thai military... are we preparing for war with Vietnam? I mean, Vietnam doesn't participate in Cobra Gold so surely we want war with Vietnam again.
It's a training exercise, try-hard.
