This series of videos/audios is very good as a Primer for newbees. Saker is concise, the questions are a good review of the basic conflict points involving the Russians and their adversaries.
Sad that it does not go beyond. But limits are time and the starting point of the host.
Thus, it remains a Primer, a very good one.
The Saker is correct. A Ukrainian combat plane did indeed shoot down that Malaysian airliner, except it was not an Ukrainian SU-25, but an SU-24. The Ukrainian pilot fired an air to air missile, which has a range of 10 km. As the port engine of the airliner was hit, the Ukrainian pilot fired 30 mm armor piercing cannon shells into the cockpit. Photographs of the cockpit clearly show 30 mm cannon holes. However, what is interesting is that the photograph shows both entry and exit holes on both sides of the cockpit, something a BUK missile cannot do.
The shooting down of the Malaysian airliner was not a false flag in the usual sense of the word, but an assassination attempt gone horribly wrong. The target was not the Malaysian airliner, but President Vladimir Putins plane, which was close by to the Malaysian airliner. The Ukrainian pilot mistook the Malaysian airliner for President Vladimir Putins plane, as both planes had similar logo colors.
When it comes to the shooting down of the Russian SU-24 in Syria by a Turkish F-16, this was certainly done without the knowledge of President Erdogan, the intention to create a rift between Russia and Turkey. The pilot who shot down that Russian SU-24 was a Turk of Albanian origin, who was subsequently placed under arrest.
