..a planeload of pax on the Malaysian airliner over Ukraine, or has everyone conveniently forgot that?
A Buk launch on a civil airliner would not have happened without clearance from on high.
A commercial plane flies over an active war zone and gets shot down by Ukrainian rebels who sees the central power in the country as legitimate is not a Vladimir Putin murder. If Putin wanted Ukraine he would just take it (especially over the last few years) and no one would stop him. What you are referencing is, to me, just more propaganda. Putin didn’t order an airliner to be shot down. For crying out loud, Turkey shot down a Russian military plane and there wasn’t even much of a response. The Russian government you think exists doesn’t exists.
