Truth be told, the US gave the Afghani Mujaheddin stinger shoulder fired anti air missiles that effectively took out the Russian helicopter force there. Those Muj turned to Taliban and formed Al Qaeda.
To be honest, I am not so familiar with different kind of the weaponry. But it seems to me that stinger shoulder and BUK are much different stuff. To my knowledge, stinger is much easier to use (one person can use it). But it needs a special team of military professionals for using BUK.
the US gave to someone something similar?

Folks forget about all that. Jimmy started it all. Back then hey kill the russians.
The US has done the very same thing in other countries.
We're always the one arming the "rebels fighting for democracy" aren't we ?
What do you think we're giving them..bandaids and slingshots ?
The US trained bin Laden and his boys for crying out loud.
The evil US has and will arm others to do what WE want. Now it's different, we don't do what we want, we worry about upsetting folks. Just all crazy times.
Time to dust them off and get rid of these international terrorists
They are not terrorists. They just ask for more liberty and democracy for themselves.
But kievan junta decided to suppress "the rebellion" using its troops and with the support of the western info war against those people. The ukrainian army kills peaceful civilians of the eastern part of Ukraine daily. And whole the world is silent. There are thousands ukrainian refugees on the Russia's border daily.

I expect there is a likelihood that the the Netherlands has no clue about how to identify American passports. They say that they cleared 23 Americans for this flight ...... they clearly must be wrong, since the USA State Department refuses to admit that ANY Americans were on the flight.
Yeppers, that must be it ...... The Customs folks in the Netherlands are clueless.:roll eyes:
After all ...... it would be extremely Classless, Tacky and Insensitive for the American Leader to be yukking it up a big High Dollar Party Fund Raiser when nearly 2 dozen American Citizens were blown out of the sky.
Much better to pretend it just didn't happen ..... and Party on.
I expect there's a likelihood the POTUS has good reason to not jump at every Internet rumor out there.

Liberty, democracy and a warm water port for Mother Russia. Sucks that Russia's puppet grew too obviously corrupt, doesn't it?

The US is generally smart enough not to hand out serious weaponry. Stingers are about as high-tech as it gets. And while they're a pain in and off themselves, they're not taking out airliners at cruise altitude.
(Apart from Blessed St. Reagan, PBUH, who found it worthwhile to use actual US assets to support Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war - and supply the Iranians with TOW missiles. But "smart" and "Reagan" are rarely used in the same sentence for a reason.)

All this unrest started when the Ukraine was going to borrow money from Russia instead of the IMF.
Follow the money my friend. Ukraine is but a puppet in a proxy war for something bigger.
