I haven't seen this mentioned yet on the subject here. We are bound by a 1994 agreement signed by Clinton to defend Ukraine. Obama will lose face big time if he reneges on it.

I hope the link works. A thought for all.
Please heart-fully pray for the Ukrainian people, and our Messianic
people there.

Russia is the only big power that hasn't gone to serious war in the past couple of decades and so will have all it needs to wage war in its military stores; the US & UK haven't the same resources to hand following on from being involved in Afghanistan / Iraq wars.
The UK now depends on part-time soldiers to raise a decent number of boots on the ground - good as they are, they are not professionals, as Russia's armies are. I really cannot see the UK Houses of Parliament doing anything military because we have one of the smallest standing armies for many, many years - and we are still cutting our military strength, incuding our once proud navy that now has two ageing aircraft carriers but no decent planes, and two new carriers under construction and due in 5 or 6 years.
Put on some warm clothing, and dig out the ban-the-bomb stuff from yesteryear, as a new cold war looms!

Don't hurt the oil.... A former national security adviser to President Obama said Thursday that building the Keystone XL pipeline would bolster U.S. national security by sending a strong message to Russian President Vladimir Putin and other "international bullies" that they cannot use energy security as a weapon. Ex-Obama aide: Approve Keystone, send message to Putin

If it crossed the airspace of other nations, without an identifying signal, it would, almost certainly, be assisted to the nearest airport by military jets or shot down. If it is the former we would know - if the latter and they see they have shot down a plane full of civilians they are hardly likely to tell the world unless forced to in some way (ie proof it was in their airspace). I understand there are satellites that monitor the earth for large flash explosions - but those monitors have not picked up any sudden flashes so a crash on dry land is unlikely.
On the other hand, if they flew south over the sea, with limited fuel which means thay would probably not make land, why not just ditch where it was when the signals stopped? This choice makes no real sense unless they were going south before going further east / west - but then they would be back to the above scenario.

The West just needs to stop meddling, IMHO. Do we really want another Crimean War? If the Crimeans want independence from the political basket case that is the Ukraine- let 'em have it. Their problem- not ours.

What I found interesting is that 80,000 Russians soldiers came to the US in 2012 for training, and that is the number that is indicated to be poised to invade Ukraine.

The political climate may such that all countries' air space, which the high jacked plane was flying through, was approved, not that they would say anything.

There's nothing he can do. Sanctions? Russia can be self-sufficient for a long time if it has to. War? You'd have to be out of your mind. How many wars does the US want to lose/not actually win in a century?
