And Putin has overwhelming support in Russia and US support is approaching zero.<br /><br />What the Ukraine affair has done is prove what the Russian military has been saying for along time — that the US and NATO are not partners but hostiles bent on reducing Russia to a vassal state.<br /><br />This effectively ends détente with the West. Count on a serious Russian military ramp up.<br /><br />Thinking that Russia can be brushed off with a back of the hand is a fool's errand. And a major land war in Asia is worse.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-20393092156035456942014-07-19T19:12:15.601-04:002014-07-19T19:12:15.601-04:00Matt, the Ukraine is known to have had BUK and now...Matt, the Ukraine is known to have had BUK and now to use them. It seems doubtful that the rebels would have known know to use the technology even if they possessed it.<br /><br />That leaves two possibilities. One, that the Russians did it, which at this point is unsupported by either evidence or motive. And two, a false flag operation by either Ukraine or US black ops, for which there is no evidence but there is motive.<br /><br />The way it is looking now, however, is that the rebels mistook the aircraft for a Ukrainian military aircraft flying in a restricted airspace apparently with hostile intent.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-43420895513057729172014-07-19T18:43:07.332-04:002014-07-19T18:43:07.332-04:00Tom this would be like us giving the Mexicans a TH...Tom this would be like us giving the Mexicans a THAAD for drug interdiction....<br /><br />Putin is a moron... and they are not ready for prime time... rsp,<br />Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-14494900449325083072014-07-19T18:39:50.214-04:002014-07-19T18:39:50.214-04:00agree that from a PR perspective this may have bee...agree that from a PR perspective this may have been his best move Tom... ie "cooperation" while they try to sanitize the site...<br /><br />Still going to be hard to overcome... you dont give these psychos a BUK...<br /><br />I could see some small arms, some armor, but that thing could operate against targets at 40k' .... he REALLY f-ed up here...<br /><br />From what I understand mainstream Europe is pretty pissed...<br /><br />rspMatt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-68634808219694818932014-07-19T18:29:58.172-04:002014-07-19T18:29:58.172-04:00I wouldn't rush to judgment, Matt.

They are all ruthless thugs, which is how they all came to power.
