“Shortly before reports surfaced that a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 had crashed in eastern Ukraine, a separatist leader boasted on social media that his men had shot down an aircraft.”

Oops...

Be sure to purchase the optional disaster insurance before leaving the airport. You'll be glad you did. Thank You."

Exactly. They were shooting at anything.

If this holds up this guy is in deep trouble. Everyone will be after him.

The Ukraine, Russia,, and the West.

Asta la vista bebé!

If the Russians gave high-altitude SAMs to these gomers, then they’re as much to blame as the rebels.

Out of curiosity, how is it apparent the plane was shot down by that particular (Buk SAM) missile?

Yeah, Girkin (Strelkov) has apparently already scrubbed it; he’s forgetting that what happens on the internet stays on the internet. It’s already circulating all over the web.

Stepping on his own cojones? Hell, he tripped right over them, did a tumble and landed flat on his face. This is a major international incident, no doubt about it.

And worse - at least as far Girkin is concerned - he just made Putin look like a fool.

I get the feeling that’s a rather dangerous thing to do.

So, what you’re saying is, “they were bucked from the git go.”

If indeed the Russian separatists are on the site sweeping for evidence, you can bet that evidence tying them to the missile will go the way of Lois Lerner’s hard drive. Lois...pick up the white phone,...you’re needed in Donetsk.

How long till that carrier goes belly up? Their planes are dropping from the sky (okay one plane we’re not exactly sure where it is).

This is getting old. I don’t want the US involved but if we sent all of our cops over there, their dogs won’t have a chance

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday the Obama administration’s foreign policies in a number of areas have enhanced the world’s “tranquility” – a word that raised eyebrows as reporters pointed to situations in Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Ukraine and the South China Sea.

On radar they probably look the same. Plane was at 33,000 ft.
Obama is to blame for this.....
