I love this theory so much.

 

Figured it would make a screenplay one of these days.

Learned something new about SAMs, that frankly surprised that DC Tom didn't volunteer at first. Missiles don't hit the planes, but explode in close proximity to maximize damage.

And Chef Jim has already made the decision not to go see it.

 

Would it change Chef Jim's mind if I leaked that Stone was planning on adding some mother #$%^$%^ snakes to that mother @#$%&^% plane to spice up the story a bit?

Let me ask him.

 

He's still laughing.

Seriously?

 

But SAM warheads are usually proximity-detonated fragmentation types, designed to damage targets with a pattern of steel fragments at a standoff distance.

“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

But the line sounded cool and made Romney look out of touch w/ low information voters. Whether it was accurate or not, to quote a former SoS, "what difference at this point does it make?!"

So now Russia does the expected thing and bans food imports from countries sanctioning it. This will cost an already shaky EU billions of its most important export. All of this anti-free trade tick for tack will hurt the entire world economy. This in addition to triggering an ongoing civil war.

 

And this economic cost and bloodshed was worth it to over throw a democratically elected leader?

Yeah, banning food imports is just a fantastic thing to do when you need to import food to feed your people. Putin is a bigger fool than I gave him credit for.

 

At least Russians are used to standing in bread lines. Might bring back all their Soviet-era nostalgia.

It will help the domestic producers, and they can increase imports from non-EU countries, with whom they share many borders. But yes ultimately there will be a cost to Russia, the EU, and the US. But politically its a move putin has to make.

 

So both sides are locked in a costly tit for tat that neither side wants. In a word its "sh#tty" diplomacy.

No the move Putin has to make is to get the !@#$ out of the Ukraine.
