Is particularly objectionable when bullies falsely accuse innocent parties of wrongdoing. The civil war in Ukraine was a result of western meddling in politics to try and increase their own influence. Re downing of MH17, to those who have studied details, is obvious it was shot down with bullets through the cockpit by a Ukrainian fighter. Not a missile by either side.

Trying to blame the rebels and/or Russians is a blatant lie. Have been major coverups including air traffic control and black box info kept hidden. The main question is whether shooting down was deliberate or accidental. Including possibility that Israel misled Ukraine to believe it was Vladimir Putin's plane. This disaster diverted media attention from Israeli atrocity attacks in Gaza which started next day.

When Jackie Lambie has to tell Tones to tone it down he must has overstepped the mark. What a diplomatic clutz, but to be expected by this head cowboy of a cowboy outfit. Yeeee haaaaa.

I thank him for putting Australians around the world in the sights of Russia and ISIS. Puleeeeeze, will someone from the LNP get him to shut his cake-hole!

Luciferase,

I think the Russians are having a jolly good belly laugh at his inane braggadocio and domestic grandstanding.

His "cake-hole" has provided reams of print in the world press for his immature and muddle-headed soundbites - not to mention his out-of-step policies.

I personally find it embarrassing to be saddled with such a crass headline-seeker as my Prime Minister.

If we're going to act on accusations, surely it would require us to have some evidence for what we are saying. There is no evidence of Russian involvement in the downing of MH17, only belligerent accusations by various politicians. Acting on accusations without evidence takes us down a very dangerous path.

Agree with MC!
And can only add; I'd like to see both macho men in the boxing ring and squaring off!
Little doubt our PM would win a fair manly contest between similarly aged REAL MEN!
However, and betcha boots, Putin would decline the invitation; because like most bullies, he is at heart, just another craven coward; able to get others to do all his fighting and dying for him!
Rhrosty.

When you read articles like this, & realise it is by a professor of a fairy floss discipline, you start to understand how we got cretens like Rudd & Gillard in the lodge.
