The Russian national terrorists have admitted shooting it down. They thought it was a Ukrainian plane.

The Russians blew Gary Powers out of the sky at 75,000 feet in 1960, with a surface to air missile. I call BS.

A full-on trade embargo on Russia would be a thing to behold.

The Euros will never go for a full embargo on Russia. London lives off Russian oligarch money and the rest of the Euros need Russian natural has.

When Obama hears about this on the evening news, he’ll be deeply concerned.
