5. the US probably has loads of SIGINT about this--

people are less careful about following protocol to avoid eavesdropping when a panic button gets pushed.

There will be lawsuits filed in the US over this. Probably criminal indictments, naming Putin as a co-conspirator.

And, Obama literally has no choice but to pursue the most crippling sanctions possible. And probably neither do the Europeans.

7. Rebels have black boxes and intend to send them to Moscow

"However, it appears that Ukrainian officials and rebels are competing for control of the crash site, with the Donetsk People's Republic claiming possession of the Boeing jet's black boxes, which would have recorded the pilots' last words and may provide vital clues about what brought down the jet. The rebels have announced that they intend to deliver the boxes to Moscow.

First Deputy Prime Minister Andriy Purgin of the Donetsk People's Republic promised that the black boxes will be transferred to Moscow for examination saying that Russian officials are "highly qualified experts who will be able to accurately determine the cause of the disaster, even though it is so clear."
