What would be the US response to Putin if the claims responsibility, even tacitly, for shooting down this plane?
quote:Why would we do anything? If Putin took responsibility, I am guessing he would have Russia make a settlement with the families of the passengers and make some statement of changes to prevent the same from occurring in the future.
With that being the case, what can Obama and the US do?
Moreover, do the sanctions that we always hear about actually have any affect whatsoever against Russia?

We haven't apologized but we did pay Iran over $130 million in compensation.
I doubt that much will happen no matter what comes to light. Remember that 30 years ago, KAL 007 was shot down with 62 Americans onboard, including an active US Congressman. Former President Richard Nixon was originally scheduled to be on the flight but chose not to go.
