this is the scenario i have in mind

… ITAR-TASS is reporting that Kiev has cut a deal with the Dutch to allow them to mount a 700-member armed investigation force of military and non-military specialists, and allow them free rein to move through Ukraine. The Ukrainians don’t even need to send a sniper to deliberately shoot at the investigators on-site. Just the fact that 700 angry and armed Australians and Netherlanders marching into a war zone from the enemy side will inevitably provoke a violent response from the rebels. As soon as blood hits the ground, an ‘outraged’ NATO will come charging in, and total war will erupt. It’s pretty clear now why Poroshenko didn’t stick to the ceasefire. Who needs a false flag operation when you have such compliant pawns to sacrifice …

What is odd about this is that ITAR-TASS insists that Poroshenko’s Jul 28 Rada speech only spoke of an unarmed mission:

Multinational police mission to MH17 crash in Ukraine to be allowed to use weapons
ITAR-TASS, Jul 30 2014

KIEV – A multinational police mission to the crash site of Malaysian MH17 in eastern Ukraine will be allowed to have and use weapons, the Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper said on Tuesday citing an agreement between Ukraine and the Netherlands. The Dutch-led mission will be formed from military and non-military personnel from the Netherlands and Australia. The mission, according to the document, will have not more than 700 armed personnel and will enjoy the freedom of movement across Ukraine to reach areas related to the crash probe. Members of the mission will have the right to use weapons in self-defence purposes. On Jul 28, Pres Poroshenko urged the parliament to approve at its extraordinary session on Jul 31 the deployment of an international unarmed (sic – RB) police mission on the Malaysian Boeing crash site. He said:

A transparent international investigation into the Boeing 777 tragedy is a common priority for Ukraine, Australia and the Netherlands.
