Did it ever occur to you that the rebels weren’t supposed to have access to advanced Russian weapons? That only the air space above 32,000 feet was cleared for travel? That MH17 only crossed into Ukraine airspace because apparently a Polish air traffic controller directed it to do so to avoid bad weather? That this mobile advanced antiaircraft battery may have only recently entered the country - from Russia.
You know there was a Singapore Airlines flight about twenty miles behind and northwest of MA17. If they had bad enough luck it could have been them targeted. I don’t understand why Ukraine didn’t put this route off limits after losing the Antonov and the Sukhoi 25. They had to have known that the murdering swine had at least one SAM 11 launcher— maybe more.
Also, I have seen a grand total of zero commenters anywhere—— except for me—— ask if it could be possible that the Russian separatists had guys who had been AAA troops during service time in the Ukraine or Russian armies. In other words maybe Putin did not even have to provide these operatives; they may have been in the region already.
