We don’t give the separatists enough credit. It’s amazing that they can shoot down fighter jets without access to any surface to air weapons at all.

It’s all Obama’s fault, if you ask me.

So much for the credibility of those who claimed that the separatists didn’t have weapons capable of shooting down jets.

Why isn’t Obama telling Poroshenko the same thing he told Yanukovych, don’t use your military against the people? Unfortunately, it seems Kiev has become Obama’s drone in the Ukraine.

Then either the SU-25s the Ukie’s have don’t have adequate defenses (or just plain suck) or the Russian separatist missile operators are really good.

SU-25s also weren’t flying at 32k feet, like flight 17.
