Act of War???? There are hostilities in Eastern Ukraine. Russian separatists/Russian nationals are in a civil war with the “take over” Ukrainian government. MOST Ukrainians DO NOT want to be a part of Russia or under their suppression. So there’s a war. More than likely an untrained separatist fired a missile when he shouldn’t have. The Dems are playing politics with this incident as usual. “There will be hell to pay” is no more of a threat than Obama’s red lines.
Act of terrorism on a civilian aircraft. NATO silent so far. Black boxes reportedly shuttled off to Moscow. No one can get to the crash site to recover those on it? First reports indicated 23 Americans were on board. Now the numbers are coming out and there’s none listed, except saying that ‘some others’ are as yet unidentified. Schipol Airport security in Amsterdam was much better than ours when I went through there in the 90’s. I would think they knew who and exactly where from all the passengers on that plane were from. Praying for the souls lost in this attack.
So far, I’ve not seen much to reassure if anything will be done and/or by whom. Things are not in any way close to whatever description of normal I can come up with in my lifetime.
