It'll be interesting to see how Putin handles this. I checked out Pravda and Russia Today online. Of course, they both say that Ukrainians shot the plane down. They'll be backtracking soon enough, I bet.

Putin's had a bad couple of days. Obama slaps him with heavy economic sanctions for bringing "heavy weapons" into Ukraine and today his heavy weapons shoot down a civilian airliner and kill hundreds. The news about the airliner broke while he was on the phone with Obama complaining about the unjust sanctions. We'll see if the Europeans get off the dime, now that nearly 154 Dutch citizens were killed.
