Don't blame Putin; blame the missile

I left my pistol on a table all day and when I came home it had not killed a person. In fact it had not moved an inch. I would also bet that every legal gun owner has had the same experience every day this week.

Those missiles would never have moved an inch had there not been the desire to have them move. Someone who is a skilled technician did the dirty deed. The black boxes disappeared into Russia and will either be destroyed like only our IRS and the New KGB, would desire to happen.

Can we assume that only unskilled Russian boons fired the missile? Do average goons have the skill to fire these missiles? I will bet they don't. I will bet it was Russian special forces that were sent to stir up trouble in the Ukraine, and as soon as they have added the territory in the north and east, they will move on to another of the old Soviet satellite states and do the same thing.

Vladimir Putin will hopscotch from country to country unless we move surface-to-air missile systems and the missile defense systems we should have ringed the Russian Federation with as soon as we recognized that Putin's goal was the reconstitution of the Soviet Union - by force as those countries were added in the first place.
