MOSCOW, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Russian investigators said on Thursday they had evidence showing that Ukraine's military shot down a Russian Il-76 military transport plane last week with U.S.-made Patriot surface-to-air missiles.
Among the fragments were serial numbers with English acronyms, including "CONFIDENTIAL classified by PATRIOT SECURITY CLASSIFICATION GUIDE DATED: 9/22/83 ADDENDUM DATED 11/28/83 8/8/84 CONTRACT NO/DAAH01-86C-A018'," the committee said in a statement.
"The fragments seized from the scene, according to their design features, geometric characteristics and available markings, are structural elements of the MIM-104A anti-aircraft guided missile of the Patriot complex of the United States, developed by Raytheon and Hughes corporations and manufactured by Raytheon," the committee said.

No way. Everyone knows our President had his cajónes removed.
The creation of competitive systems is now certain, however things will not go smoothly for anyone.
Certainly, the biggest looser will be the Legacy American People and Legacy America Herself.
Eventually there will be nothing to steal from them.
... And pay to Ukraine.
“My” side? As opposed to “your” side?
Tells ya everything you need to know, doesn’t it? Comrade.
It’s a war. Planes get shot down. Who cares who did it? Enemy fire? Friendly fire? Dead is dead.
You're a shill, Vomit Lt.
Yeah. When it isn’t the Russians shooting something down who cares? Meh.
Yeah…but it’s a Russian plane. That’s all that matters.
And you are a Russian.
See, name calling all around.
Try again comrade.
Russian made weapons have been killing Americans for decades. So you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t give a damn.

No one on Free Republic cares about the opinion of someone who lives in the slave state of Taxachussets.
It’s not the weapon or the maker that’s the story, it’s that the idiot Ukes shot their own Uke Nazis with it, thinking they were clever.
I still don’t care.
I want both sides to lose.

Still pimping the same old line.
There was a reason the Ukrainian PEOPLE rose against Yanukovych. They had expected him to sign an Association Agreement with the EU. When he reneged on that promise the PEOPLE rose up against him. Moscow keeps claiming that the CIA somehow activated 100,000 robots to create the Maidan demonstration, but that doesn't pass the sniff test. With the PEOPLE against him en masse Yanukovich fled to Moscow, and Putin activated Plan B. Which was the utterly illegal seizure of Crimea by military force.
If anybody is still on the thread, read the BBC timeline (start at the bottom) to get a notion of how Yanukovich came to power in the first place, how he broke faith with the Ukrainian people. how they reacted, and how his goons started gunning down the demonstrators.

Re: 88 - disregarding that poster would not be wrong.
Sounds like based on responses to “him” (posts are graylisted), that he is trying to enforce groupthink.
there's no need for any mind reading. All you have to do is listen to what he has said and observe what he has done. He sponsors and allies with terror regimes and organizations like Hamas, Iran, Syria, North Korea, etc. He has banned evangelism and persecutes Christians who practice their faith in public. He praises prostitution. He says things like the West invented the slave trade. Jails journalists and shuts down news organizations that report things he doesn't like. Etc.
You seem to care….why is that?
“It’s a shame that US TV Networks won’t interview Putin. It almost seems as though they’re afraid of how their viewers will react.”

Everything the media selectively chooses to print (or purposely ignores) is done so they can craft the stories to shape our perceptions. They and their pals in government only tell us what they want us to know.
Stay in your lane, Fury, and quit furiously jackassin’.
