Maybe sometimes Congressmen should get out of Dc and truly see the reality of war—then they might have a totally different approach to international relations.

BTW—it was not a MANPAD that shot down MH17—it was a hardcore air defense missile as a MANPAD could not have reached the height that MH17 was flying at.
Not wanting to critique either Reuters and WaPo—both have not have a great track record in reporting in the Ukraine.

Wonder out loud if the Congressman has decided to also pass any amendments targeting Russia for their support in providing heavy weapons and money to Russian Nazi groups who are in the Ukraine killing both Ukrainian soldiers and civilians---noticed he said nothing about that did he?????

U.S. House Passes 3 Amendments By Rep. Conyers To Defense Spending Bill To Protect Civilians From Dangers Of Arming and Training Foreign Forces



CAN anyone explain to me just why the Azov BN would turn on the same government that they have paid dearly in defending ---in the face of daily massive artillery shellings and ground attacks for now over three months in Mariupol???

Noticed the Congressman seems to have forgotten that OR maybe it was because Reuters and WaPo did not write about it???
Seems the good Congressman was being "played"--the core question --for how much????
