Timothy Garton, a professor at Oxford University proposes to think about what would happen if China decided to protect its citizens in Southeast Asia.
\nDer Standard:
\nPutin thinks Russia should protect \u201call Russians abroad and he will decide, who are Russians,\u201d the journalist writes. Putin says those country bears responsibility where the tragedy happens, so Ukraine bears responsibility for the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH17. The author thinks this statement is \u201ca hypocrisy of Orwell\u2019s extent\u201d. No doubt, there are Russians in eastern Ukraine who are dissatisfied, but their protests are fueled by extremely dishonest Russian TV reports, and Putin\u2019s Russia supports those armed units.

Pentagon advisers to help Kyiv rebuild its fractured military
\nThe Washington Times:
\nLawmakers and analysts expect the mission will result in recommendations for greater military assistance in the country\u2019s fight against pro-Russian separatists. Within the next few weeks, a group of Defense Department representatives who specialize in strategy and policy will head to Kiev to evaluate specific programs that the United States may want to help bolster, said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. Their objective is to work with Ukrainians to \u201cshape and establish an enduring program for future U.S. efforts to support the Ukrainian military through subject-matter expert teams and long-term advisers,\u201d he said.

Europe\u2019s foreign ministers failed to agree new sanctions against Russia despite a push by Britain, Sweden and a group of eastern European countries for an arms embargo to be imposed on the Kremlin.
\nFinancial Times:
\nEU rifts scupper new Russia sanctions. An embargo met resistance from other EU countries, particularly France, \u201cwhich was forced to defend its decision to continue honouring a \u20ac1.2bn contract to sell Mistral-class helicopter assault ships to Russia,\u201d the newspaper writes. Instead, the hardliners won concessions that \u201cthe European Commission will, for the first time, be asked to present options for broader economic sanctions \u2013 including blocking Russian access to Europe\u2019s capital markets and limits on military and other \u201csensitive technologies\u201d, including in the energy sector \u2013 to diplomats on Thursday.,\u201d the newspaper writes.

Hollande: \u201cmakes a monkey out of France and all Europe\u201d.
\nSueddeutsche Zeitung:
\n\u201cFrance takes up a strange position, by planning to provide Russia with modern warship \u2013 a ship that can carry dozens of attack helicopters and tanks, and hundreds of soldiers,\u201d Wetzel continues. French President Francois Hollande speaks the contract has been signed and if France cancelled the sale, they would pay 1 billion euro forfeit.\u201d \u201cCould France be bought for so cheap?\u201d \u201cHow would Hollande react if not Dutch people, but his citizens were on MH16 board?\u201d

UK arms export licences for Russia still in place despite claims of embargo.
\nThe Guardian:
\n“More than 200 licences to sell British weapons to Russia, including missile-launching equipment, are still in place despite David Cameron’s claim in the Commons on Monday that the government had imposed an absolute arms embargo against the country, according to a report by a cross-party group of MPs released on Wednesday.

The head of France\u2019s ruling Socialist party Jan-Christophe Cambadelis accused Britain\u2019s David Cameron of hypocrisy in debates over imposing sanctions against Russia.
\nFinancial Times:
\nDavid Cameron urged Paris to scrap the sale of two Mistral-class warships to Russia. Cambadelis, on the other hand, advised British prime minister to \u201cstart by cleaning up his own backyard.\u201d \u201cThis is a false debate led by hypocrites,\u201d French politician adds. France is among several EU countries to have been irritated by Mr Cameron\u2019s tough talk on sanctions, accusing the prime minister of being soft on Russian interests in the UK for fear of hitting the City\u2019s lucrative trade with Russia.

Russia is pregnant with Ukraine, Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin writes..
\n Frankfurter Allgemeine:
\nBlue and yellow sperms of Maidan under explosions of stun grenades, Molotov cocktails\u2019 flashes and whistles of bullets have made their man\u2019s work. Russia, sitting in front of big TV screens, has been fertilized. New life was born in Russia\u2019s huge body: the independent Ukraine. The rulers were seized by terror, the liberals \u2013 by envy, the nationalists \u2013 by hatred. Russia is pregnant with Ukraine. The birth is inevitable. Everything is waiting ahead \u2013 more and more pain, cutting of the umbilical cord, the first cry of the newborn. The infant will get a nice name: \u201cFarewell to the Empire\u201d. Will his childhood to be happy? Nobody knows. Many will sincerely wish him to grow up healthy.

Mr. Obama has unfortunately dwelled on getting international forensic experts to the crash site instead of emphasizing the vital strategic lessons to be drawn from this terrible episode.
\nThe Wall Street Journal:
\n“Mr. Obama is treating this terrorist act\u2014which even such a stalwart supporter of the president as Sen. Carl Levin called “an act of war”\u2014as something akin to a police homicide investigation,\u201d John Bolton, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute writes for The Wall Street Journal commenting on the Obama\u2019s response to the July 17 attach on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Tectonic power and political forces\u2014not legalisms\u2014are now clashing in Europe. Vladimir Putin, though a lawyer like the American president, understands this. Mr. Obama does not. Bolton notes Beijing is intently watching how Washington deals with Moscow. \u201cWhat China’s leaders have seen to date simply feeds their aggressive aspirations in the East and South China Sea and along the country’s land borders. China’s near neighbors fully grasp the point,\u201d he thinks. \u201cYet it is not just Europe and Asia that need U.S. leadership. America, for its own safety’s sake, needs it too. On the evidence of recent days, such leadership is still not forthcoming,\u201d he concludes. <\/p>\n

\nUS intelligence officials accused Moscow of “creating the conditions” that resulted in the death of 298 people aboard the Malaysian Airlines jet shot down last week over a part of Ukraine controlled by Russia-backed separatists.
