Now, since it's wayyyyy over there in a foreign country, lets see the mangled bodies of woman and children on tv. Any bets on who shows the blood and gore first?
Is it any wonder you can't trust these dipshits to give accurate and truthful information? As long as your first with the story!
God. And she just keeps extending the conversation like no one even paid attention to what he said. Gotta love MSNBC.
And I hope Howard Stern himself wasn't "officially" associated with that prank...I like dark humor myself- but damn.....Making fun of dead kids (and doing it hours after the incident, no less) is no laughing matter.
When it comes to light that russian forces shot this plane down, whats our expectation:
Obama, "gosh darnit we are awfully disappointed in you. AWFULLY."
"after 18 holes I'll decide what else to say."

I would expect the The Europeans, specifically Germany, that have been slow pedaling sanctions will be less obstructionist. The Russian Stock Market is plunging after the last round of sanctions. To me it looks like Putin overplayed his hand and is going to do real damage to his countries economy and security situation.
...haven't necessarily been putting the full blown thumb screws to Putin either.

Hopefully! We'll see I guess. My money is on this event getting somewhat swept under an international political rug. We (the US), haven't necessarily been putting the full blown thumb screws to Putin either.
I think you should look at the impact of US Sanctions. When the last round was announced the MICEX dove 2.25% YTD The ruble is down 6% against the Dollar.

The more money The Russian Oligarchs the pull Putin's Strings lose the more quickly this situation will resolve.

That's the trick with sanctions; you have to make them hurt but not so bad that War feels like a viable alternative. A big reason The Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor was the sanctions The US, UK, and Dutch had imposed following their Invasion of China. The sanctions on the importation of oil and steel hit the Japanese so hard that War was considered a viable alternative.
