“It appears the missile and launcher were Russian. The individuals shooting down the plane were so-called “Russian-backed separatists” in Ukraine. Apparently, the crash, which is a crime scene on the ground, is controlled by pro-Russian sympathizers, and it has been compromised by unknown malcontents.
It seems to me the Russian emperor, Putin–the Napoleon of Siberia–has his pitiful, complicit fingerprints all over this Lusitania-type incident”, said Poe. Pictured here a Russian SA 11 Surface to Air Missile system (SAM).
On July 13, 2014 Rep. Ted Poe pf Texas asked for and was granted permission to address the United States House ofRepresentatives for one minute regarding the shoot down of a Malaysian airliner of the airspace of Ukraine:
“Madam Speaker, in the sky above eastern Ukraine, a surface-to-air missilewas launched, and it destroyed a Malaysian civilian airliner. The dastardly deed killed–rather, murdered–298 people.
It appears the missile and launcher were Russian. The individuals shooting down the plane were so-called “Russian-backed separatists” in Ukraine. Apparently, the crash, which is a crime scene on the ground, is controlled by pro-Russian sympathizers, and it has been compromised by unknown malcontents.
It seems to me the Russian emperor, Putin–the Napoleon of Siberia–has his pitiful, complicit fingerprints all over this Lusitania-type incident. This is the latest in a series of aggressive acts by the Russian bear. In 2008, the Russians invaded the sovereign nation of Georgia. The bear gobbled up one-third of the nation. The world leaders protested loudly, but they were glad it wasn’t their homelands. Then the world moved on.
Madam Speaker, the Russian tanks are still in Georgia. I have seen them.
Then the bear hibernated and woke up hungry in 2013 and invaded Crimea–a part of the country of Ukraine–to satisfy its appetite for more aggression. Now the Russians unlawfully occupy Crimea. The world leaders, once again, voiced opposition but went back to their policy of appeasement.
But Crimea did not fill the belly of the bear. So, still hungry, the bear of the north moved into eastern Ukraine and looked for more prey. It subversively has supported insurrection against the Ukrainian Government to gain more territory. Reports indicate Russian special forces are playing the role of pro-Russian separatists. Battles are being fought. People are dying. Russian imperialism persists in its aggression.
Then, recently, the Malaysian airplane was shot down over Ukraine. Also, in the last 24 hours, two Ukrainian military jets were shot down by Russian-backed rebels. The world leaders are self-righteously outraged. However, nothing has stopped the Russian bear.
What will the heads of state do? Will the leaders continue to take the position that, since the bear hasn’t eaten them, they will do little but pontificate and hope the bear’s appetite is satisfied?
Maybe the bear will hibernate again, Madam Speaker, but when it wakes up, like it always does, it will wake up hungry. Then, when it roars, who will be devoured next, the rest of Ukraine?–or maybe Moldova or Latvia or Estonia or Poland?–or just another innocent group of men, women, and children on a civilian airline?
Only Putin knows what the awakening roar of the Russian bear will bring to the rest of humanity. Appeasement certainly doesn’t seem to be working, and it is not the answer to stopping aggression.
Madam Speaker, is there not one bold Churchill to be found amidst the overpopulated, boastful Chamberlains among us?
And that’s just the way it is”, said Poe.
