Nobody is putting words in your mouth. Don't suggest missile fire on Russian people and then complain that people notice you said that.

But are these Russian people, or just people who speak Russian within the sovereign territory of Ukraine? One would be to fire a missile at Russian territory, one would be firing a missile at armed rebels who are Ukrainian citizens who speak Russian who are responsible for taking down a commercial jetliner. Many of these rebels are from Russia, guys who have crossed the border illegally to fight against the ruling government, Ukraine is in the right here are they not?
Putin is really looking the fool upon the world stage here and hopefully he will now pull back from the rebels. Strong talk with threats of more very severe sanctions will put a lot of pressure on Putin as their large businesses will be telling him to move back and stop this covert aggression. This was reported earlier in the week that some of the CEO's of large enterprise are putting pressure on him to pull back.
