I know what you mean BP, but the problem here is that this does involve us (and many other countries).
It's looking increasingly like Russia was heavily involved, if not instrumental in what has happened, so should they be allowed to get away with murdering innocent civilians? Apparently 25% of the passengers were children.
This whole situation seems to be growing and Russia is not backing down or trying to deescalated it in anyway, First it was Crimea; then it was covertly supporting the separatists; now it's looking increasingly like Russia wants Eastern Ukraine and will do whatever it can to take it.
And then what follows that..... Estonia; Latvia; Georgia; Poland; Hungary - take your pick!
It has been reported in the last few days that Russia has again been massing armed forces in the region and Putin will clearly do whatever he wants.
It this incident goes unchecked, Putin will feel invincible and who knows, it could be the start of more state sponsored terrorism - just hypotheses I know, but the worry is things could 'easily' escalate from here.
Increases in food and energy costs are probably the least of our worries.
