“Putin’s going to have to make a hard decision.”

I think that is the entire objective of the bombing.

Putin can’t do nothing and he can’t just say that his Russian airliner was a piece of crap.

He has to act and that’s what we want.

Are you saying WE bombed that plane. Obama doesn't have the stones for something that brazen. Maybe if it was a plane full of Conservative Christians from Texas. Even then.....

If the US and UK can make the world think that ISIS bombed the plane, the reality does not matter. Putin has to act on what the world believes.

Puts Putin in a box.

Maybe very dark ops outside the purview of the White House.

The whole thing plays too well into our hands and Obama is not that smart.

That box obliges Putin to eviscerate ISIS.
You may have noticed that the Obama’s foreign policy is primarily to facilitate creation of a violent Islamic Caliphate.
Inducing the former is at stark is with achieving the latter.
No way was the bombing a U.S. plot.

That doesn’t preclude it being the consequence of U.S. stupidity.
My pet theory is Hillary’s state department deliberately armed those responsible for the bombing, using the supplied weapons in the bombing - quite possibly to embarrass the U.S. by association and to start a U.S.-Russia war.
They have no qualms about biting the hand that feeds them.

During the first days of pictures (really up close), I remember seeing the picture of a piece of the planes hull, and the metal showed that the explosion came from the inside .. the reason .. the metal was protruding outwardly; indicating something exploded on the inside of the plane.

I could tell it was the outside of the plane, because there was aircraft writing on the piece of metal.

If the plane had just crashed, that piece of metal would not have looked that way .. it would have been the opposite.

US Officials and CNN are not reliable sources.

I trust Putin will figure it out and he might have already done that and is presently working on a plan.

If there was a bomb, I expect Putin to draw red lines with the blood of those responsible. I would expect Putin to bring hell down of the enemy...not play patty cake like Obama and his useless tribe.
