Putin's Ukrainians vs. EU's Ukrainians

Dear Kent,

You're splitting-hairs; who actually "pulled the trigger" doesn't matter in the "real world." The good thing I can say about Tsar Putin is that I like him much more than Sultan Erdogan. And the reason why Erdogan is less violent or war'like is probably because he can no longer trust his Police or his Military - after what he did to them. So now Erdogan cannot stop the violent demonstrations against the Israeli Embassy or Consultate, and cannot take military action to free his own hostages held by the Islamic State whose headquarters are in the former Turkish Embassy.

As for the tragic, and incompetent, Airliner downing under the Malaysian flag, whether Russia's Ukrainians did it, and therefore Putin is absolved - I don't really care; Russia shooting itself in the foot is not of strategic interests to me as an American; but I thank Providence (= God) for the tragedy, because it put the Gaza-Israel news in Second Place - so that Israel can finish the "job" of destroying the Terror Genocidal Hamas than is trying so hard to exterminate Jews by launching ineffective rockets and crawling out of underground tunnels like sneaky rats from the New York underground subway system, which turning the women, children, and babies of Gaza into "shields" against the Israelis IDF to get the Sympathy of the world against the "Devil" Israel. But in fact it looks like once again Palestinian Arabs are responsible for their own "Catastrophe."
