If true, and Putin ordered it , that is hardcore.
Obama is probably having some real, real serious talk with the Pentagon in the Situation Room right now.

(60,536 posts)The Kremlin website published a statement late Thursday that says "the Russian leader informed the U.S. president of the report from air traffic controllers that the Malaysian plane had crashed on Ukrainian territory, which had arrived immediately before the phone call."
The statement gave no further details about what the leaders discussed with regard to the plane crash. The rest of the phone call was dedicated to the general situation in eastern Ukraine, and recent U.S. sanctions against Russian individuals and companies.

(9,148 posts)just before the reports of a Malaysian Airliner being shot down.
Tweet said "they were warned to stay out of our airspace."
It was sent out by a Pro-Russian Separatist Group.
Mistook it for a Cargo Plane & 300 people are dead.
Stupid like the US Tea Party is stupid.
This is horrific
