The wreckage from the downed Malaysian plane was still smoldering on the ground when blame-America-first Professor Stephen Walt from Harvard University put the onus on the United States and Europe for the tragedy.
The International Affairs instructor at the John F. Kennedy School of Government put America’s foreign policy front and center for the Malaysian airliner’s ill-fated demise, in a series of tweets Thursday, that didn’t sit well with some.
Airliner tragedy in #Ukraine shows US & EU erred by not pushing to keep Ukr. as neutral buffer state, not potential EU/NATO member.

A slew of angry responses followed immediately.
And here we have the absolutely dumbest thing anyone will say about the Ukraine incident. @stephenWalt @cindynorth1

An awful, absurd thing to say. Did a crazy person knowing nothing about #Ukraine or #Russia hack your Twitter-feed? @stephenWalt

@stephenWalt This tweet shows Harvard Kennedy School erred by not pushing to keep morons off its faculty.

Realizing he had unleashed a firestorm, Walt backpedaled a bit and tried to explain himself better with these tweets:
My point, folks, was it would have been better for US AND Ukr. to damp crisis down b4 more tragedies happened, not to excuse perpetrators.

Russia and/or Ukr rebels may be responsible for heinous & tragic act, but US & EU policy has been foolish & feckless. http://t.co/s4CpaJDx5F
