Game Changer (if true): What Did US Spy Satellites See in Ukraine?

23. So they are morons who can't say "Not me?"

Look, there's not a lot of separatists who have Buk launchers. Asking each of them "did you fire the missile?" is not at all hard for the separatist leadership to do.

The people talking up "it's hard to tell what happened" are searching for a way to blame Ukraine.

Things that are known:
-Missile was fired from rebel territory.
-Ukraine has not deployed their Anti-Aircraft units, because the rebels don't have aircraft.

So how could the Ukrainians have been the ones that fired? They would have had to launch a large-scale invasion of rebel territory in order to roll out an anti-aircraft launcher, to fire at aircraft that were not normally crossing the area. And then they pulled all their troops back out. And nobody noticed the invasion or the retreat.

Meanwhile, the separatists are deleting their claims about shooting down a Ukrainian transport and getting in the way of crash investigators. Two things that would not have happened if the Ukrainians had fired - the separatists wouldn't have known about the launch to tweet it, and they'd be thrilled for international investigators to point the finger at Ukraine.
