The reason why I think that this would work better as an excuse to invade Ukraine is that it would look like it was done in the interests of international security, and therefore play better internationally. Putin needs to answer the hard nationalists in Russia by looking as strong as possible, while at the same not incurring the economic wrath of the West... Which Russia cannot afford.

Yes,I agree all governments are capable for this or similar kind of shit (depending on their technical abilities ).
I think he do not need excuse. No one will stop him and whatever he do will be (good or bad,right or wrong) defined as terrible (on western side) while other part of world will support or at least watch other way. So personally,I think that this was classic mistake. Terrible one, but someone mixed that flight with something else.
People died, sides will blame each other and what sounds logical to me is that Russians are watching everything what is going on there and they should precisely know where and when something was launched. Technology is there, it is near border and it is war.
