Today's news that two Ukranian fighter planes were shot down over separatist-held eastern Ukraine -- 16 miles from the MH 17 crash site -- indicates that the Russian-backed separatists and their Russian "technical advisors" are not chastened by growing world condemnation of their complicity in downing the Malaysian commercial jet. If anything, they may believe that, since they're facing harsh criticism now, they might as well go for broke and push aggressively against Ukraine.
