Ummm.... I understand your anger and frustration. As many have said before, there is very little the USA can (or will) do about this. NATO is a toothless old dog. I am wondering how long it will before people start shooting down airliners EVERYWHERE!!! There is almost NO way to stop a SAM from downing an airliner. Well, there is, but it would cost BILLIONS. Not going to happen. THat would interrupt profits.
