It wasn't the country bordering it that shot down the jet. That's the only thing confirmed thus far. It was either the Russian-backed separatists or the Russians themselves, and neither would have happened if the western world and its candy ass "leader" would have stood up to Putin sooner and more severely. The threat long before now should have been to get the fuck out of the Ukraine and stop funding the separatists or face complete economic decimation at the least. Instead, we slapped his wrist and let him broker a chemical weapons deal that predictably did nothing.
Which they wouldn't have with the appropriate foreign policy...
Apparently our intelligence believes they pretty recently acquired the missiles, at least in a functional state.
edit: They being the separatists. God forbid the Russians fired it.
