A: Probably not. A local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group has claimed it brought down the aircraft, but intelligence experts say they don't have weapons capable of reaching the 31,000-foot elevation the plane was flying at when the disaster occurred.I don't believe anything they say. Who knows what isis picked up in Iraq after we pulled out?

The plane was flying at 31,000 feet but what is the elevation of the surface over which it was flying? The SA-8, which I believe ISIL has, can reach over 25,000 feet.

Obama essentially handed ISIS a pile of Stinger missiles. More than sufficient to take down a civilian plane.
Putin knows this. The retribution will be Biblical. Literally.
