    There's a theory that the rebels could have stolen the AA launcher when they overran the military base that time. Apparently there was one there.

      Well that's their chances of joining the EU scuppered.

        That was not the Ukraine. That was Luton.

            In these days of political pygmies, I think its high time somebody who once bestrode the world stage like a colossus grasped this nettle and nipped it in the bud before it spirals out of control.

              The Ukrainians have so far used precisely zero surface-to-air missiles in the current crisis, because the rebels don't have any planes.

                Oh, and there are reports that a rebel leader tweeted that they'd shot down a plane, which he apparently believed to be a Ukrainian military transport, only to delete the tweet when it was discovered it was a civilian airliner.

                  Saw that one. Looks like a lose-lose situation - if they did do it accidentally, they're now ****ed. If it was a coincidence and they removed the posts for that reason, they're still ****ed because it's a BIG coincidence and looks fishy.

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
