You’re right — trained bears could have explained it. That’s probably why the photos went viral so quickly — not much suspension of disbelief was required.
Really? Putin was out there lining up crosshairs and pulling triggers? Wow, talk about a man of the people, one of the commoners, an every man and a leader who actually gets out to see what’s really going on in his country. Nope, sorry, it was just as first reported by a bozo on twitter who didn’t have enough training to know the difference between a cargo plane and a passenger plane.
No comment. /s
So where are the Ukrainian radar tapes that refute the Russian data? Or is that why the Ukrainian prime minister and several cabinet members resigned on Friday?
All I know is that our president wants me to be mad at Putin, so I’m MAD AS HELL at Putin.
...by the way, where is our southern border?
After your initial comment, I’m inclined to believe you are right. However, there is a collection of Putin’s most egomaniacal photo ops on Youtube, & it opens with the bear pic. Granted it doesn’t have many views, but if it were definitely a photoshop, wouldn’t either the video’s poster or a commenter note that?
Also, isn’t it a little odd that the original pic of Putin galloping a horse across that same body of water hasn’t surfaced? Usually after a photoshop reaches a certain level of notoriety, the original pic is either revealed or located/unearthed.

I wish we had a “like” button here sometimes.
Just curious, are you capable of forming an opinion on your own? Or do you wait to see what Obama is doing?
You don’t know why the Ukrainian PM resigned? If that’s the case, what are your other qualifications? And let me ask you this, by claiming that there was a Ukrainian military jet in the vicinity, isn’t that a tacit admission that the separatists shot the jet down in the first place? Why do you need radar tapes?
“Just curious, are you capable of forming an opinion on your own? Or do you wait to see what Obama is doing?”
Generally I’m against what Obama is for, such as OPEN BORDERS.
...and yourself?
Putin is a winner here. Why does the writer think that Vlad cares about his good opinion?
If you look hard enough, you might find an OPEN BORDERS thread around here, somewhere. /s
Miscalculation, failure, and indescisevness are found daily in the Oval Office.

Favor me. Why did the Ukrainian PM and members of his cabinet suddenly resign on Friday?
Radar tapes: there’s this little thing called “evidence” which seems to have fallen out of fashion among some FR posters. The Ukrainian fighter jet was recorded by Russian radar near the airliner before MH17 went off radar, and the Ukrainian government is silent on that.
Why?
Isnt’ it just a tad gullible to accept anything posted on social media as genuine?
“If that’s the case, what are your other qualifications?”
My other qualification is I’m a computer validation expert specializing in federal regulatory compliance. You wouldn’t want me in a jury pool.
LOL. What?
You wouldn’t want me in a jury pool.
You're right about that.
Those big map displays must have cost a mint back then (1988).
Google is your friend. It helps you avoid coming across as a blithering idiot troll.
There is no comparison
Mistakes were made in 1988. Mistakes were made last week.
it does not justify your reassembling the evil empire.
Other than being the reason the Aegis system was developed, the Evil Empire played no role in the event.
