Russian lawmakers authorize Putin to use military force outside the country, Part II

[Norgarth]

Russians say that Ukranians shot down a plane carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs.  At least one of the soldiers on the list of those killed was previously exchanged with Ukraine and is quite alive and well.

I heard about this yesterday, and that Ukraine's info said it was carrying missiles for Russia's air-defence units.

My thoughts on hearing the 2 versions was "Well, can we backtrack where the plane came from?  And if so, is that location  more likely to be a source of prisoners or ammo?

the idea that Putin was making shit up (again) is no surprise.  No wonder Trump likes him so much, they both pull wild claims out of their ass on a hourly basis to support their position of the moment.
