US criticises Kremlin's arming of rebels and Hillary Clinton says
'Putin has gone too far' after 298 die in missile strike

TheGuardian.com

The US has pointedly criticised Russian arming of rebels in Ukraine as the world demanded answers over the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 by a suspected Russian-made missile, resulting in the death of all 298 people on board the civilian airliner.

The White House stopped short of directly blaming Russia for the plane’s destruction but linked its remarks on the disaster to the Kremlin’s support for separatists in Ukraine, urging Vladimir Putin’s government to stop inflaming the situation in the country and take "concrete steps" towards de-escalation.

The huge loss of life threatens to have wide-ranging and unpredictable consequences, coming just after the US imposed further sanctions on Russia for continuing to provide weapons to the rebels.

The former US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, made some of the most potent remarks in a television interview, saying there were strong indications Russian-backed militia were to blame and action was needed to "put [Vladimir] Putin on notice that he has gone too far and we are not going to stand idly by".

Hey Hillary - what difference at this point does it make?

'Strong indications" and 50 cents wont even get you a cup of coffee in most places.

I'll repeat my dumb question from another thread. What is any commercial airliner doing flying over that hot mess? It sounds like a war zone to me. Seems like they should be flying around it.

NOW you tell them!

I would think whoever is in charge of airlines routes would know that is a dangerous area.

Don't worry. Somebody will sue Malaysia Airlines because they didn't alter course.
