Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17

Vlad, Vlad, Vlad. Is this any way to run a country? I have some unpleasant things to say today.
So here we have three hundred innocent civilians killed today when a Malaysian Airlines jet is shot out of the sky by what seem at the moment to be Russian separatists in Ukraine. Immediately Russia claims to have nothing to do with the downing of the plane and Vladimir Putin is on the spot once again for behaving like...the tyrant we’ve come to know and love.

Even if it turns out that the whole thing was a terrible mistake, the onus for the three hundred deaths must sit squarely on Vlad’s well-oiled shoulders. Russia has been arming these separatists for a long time and anyone with any knowledge of these punks understands too well that these are not...brilliant minds with unlimited resources for training and military expertise. The chances of something going wrong, for example accidently blowing a civilian jet out of the sky, was always present.

Give these weapons to the untrained and overeager and this is what you have. Sleep well tonight, Vlad. Your finger is on yet another tragic, world-shaking atrocity.
