State Dept. deletes a statement condemning Russia over MH17 downing right after Trump's Putin summit


The US State Department has issued a statement criticizing Russia every year since the 2014 attack on Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 which killed 298 people — but not this year.

The silence came just one day after Trump was accused of siding with Putin over US intelligence agencies at a press conference in Helsinki.

Russia has long believed to be behind the attack, but this year is the first anniversary since international investigators concluded that the missile that downed the plane came from a Russian base.

The State Department was silent this year - and Foreign Policy reports that a draft statement criticizing Russia was never made public.

The US State Department pulled a statement that criticized Russia's involvement in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 just one day after President Donald Trump held a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin that appeared to show him siding with Russia over US intelligence agencies.

6. How do we get this detriment to our nation out of office? How???

Day after day I watch our nation losing our democracy. Day after day there is chaos the likes that has never been seen in my 75 years in this nation. Day after day I watch the resident of the White House embracing dictatorship principles. Day after day I see Russia, a rogue nation taking over our country without firing a shot. Apparently what they are doing is not considered "war". Day after day I am watching our nation slowly being conquered and there seems to be no way to stop it. I continue to Resist. Persist. And I will GOTV. I hope it is enough to stop what is happening.
