John McCain Warns There Will Be 'Hell To Pay' If Russia Shot Down Malaysian Plane
Business Insider ^ | July 17 2014 | Colin Campbell

Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) declared on Thursday there would be "incredible repercussions" if Russian forces or pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine shot down the Malaysian flight that crashed earlier in the day.

In an appearance on MSNBC shortly after news of the crash broke, McCain stressed it was too early to come to definite conclusions. However, he pointed out Ukrainian aircraft have previously been shot down in recent days and "mistaken identification" of the Malaysian plane could be "part of a pattern" that demands a powerful reaction from the United States.

"This was an airliner headed towards Russian airspace and it has the earmarks — and I'm not concluding — but it has the earmarks of a mistaken identification of an aircraft that they may have believed was Ukrainian. If that's true, this is a horrible tragic event which was certainly unanticipated by anybody no matter who they are. And there will be incredible repercussions if this is the case," he said. "If it is the result of either separatist or Russian actions mistakenly believing that this is a Ukrainian warplane, I think there's going to be hell to pay and there should be."

McCain called the pro-Russian separatists and the Russian government "really one and the same" and said both had the capability to shoot down the Malaysian flight. An adviser to the Ukraine interior minister said separatists shot down the passenger plane with a Russian-made Buk ground-to-air missile system. The separatists have denied responsibility. Ukrainian forces have been clashing with the separatists in the eastern part of the country and the region of Crimea since pro-Kremlin Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted following widespread protests against his administration in February.

I figure the O admin did it to take the attention away from the illegal givaway at our border.

That is how evil I believe them to be.

Hey Juan...why don’t you go deal with the issue of a tidal wave of illegals coming into your state...

That sentiment deserves repeating.

Why isn't McCain raising hell about that - or if he is, why aren't we hearing about it?

I guess nobody clued McNasty in yet that the Ukranian separatists got caught on a phone call admitting they did it.

Polisec,

Seems this forum topic is dominated by you. Are you Russian or a general Russia supporter no matter what?
