RE: Malaysian Plane 'Shot Down With 295 On Board
Russia's just got busted. The Donestk Militia announced that they shot down an Ukrainian military plane within an hour of the plane being shot down. No Ukrainian plane was shot down today (although they shot down one yesterday).
Germany and France will have to get off their butts now.

RE: Malaysian Plane 'Shot Down With 295 On Board
rebels? which rebels? there was a ukrainian govt that got too close to the EU. putin threatened the prez, and he got back in line. the population rebelled against the russian approved gov't, and elected a new one. russia bought off a bunch of ukrainians (with russians sprinkled in) to rebel against the rebellion against the original gov't.
so, everyone in the ukraine is a rebel. which rebel group shot the plane down?

This looks like a colossal miscalculation by Russia.

Here's my prediction -
Ukraine will say Russia did it.
Russia will say Ukraine did it.
Obama will learn about the details in the New York Times.
Kerry will be sent to Russia. Nothing will happen.
Michelle Obama will hold up a legal pad with the script #DontShootPlanes
Eric Holder will claim Because Racism

I didn't say that had. I simply noted that both "sides" have this system in their arsenal.

Obama, who has been the strongest hawk on this, will use this to demand that the Germans, the British, and the French get on board with strong sanctions.
I would hope that NATO will announce lethal aid to Ukraine as well as technical assistance with anti anti-aircraft measures.

I was flying through Kuala Lumpar late last month. Malaysian was in deep trouble even prior to MH370 as a result of competition from Air Asia. This will be the end of the line for them.

Not sure what kind of shiit he's taking in, but whatever it is, clearly he needs to wean himself off of it because he's an effing idiot.
