what is the upside for Putin to have sponsored something as high risk as this? It just doesn’t compute.
There are rumors Putin was on a plane with a similar flight path earlier today—don’t know if they are true.
If they are this is getting deep.
Agree. It was some Ukrainian rebel hotshots out for a thrill. They were gobsmacked when they found out they had hit a passenger plane. They thought it was Uk. Army transport.
Those guys have probably been taken out back and had bullets put through their brains as we speak.
