34. Whether you support U.S. policy in Ukraine is kind of beside the point.

This isn't about U.S. policy in Ukraine, but Russian policy.

This "separatist" movement in Southeastern Ukraine is lead and supplied by the Russians. They supplied the BuK system precisely to allow the the astroturf "separatists" precisely to allow them to counter Ukrainian air superiority, and that policy has lead directly to the deaths of almost 300 innocent people in a civilian airliner.

Whatever you think of U.S. policy, THAT lays right at Putin's feet. HE made the choice to make that technology available to those people.

Yeah, there are scary and dangerous people in the world and Putin is one of them. Welcome to reality.
