I just doubt that if Putin accepted some responsibility/remorse for this it would make it ok in Western eyes.

First, it should never be OK in anybody's eyes. Second, Putin is probably not capable of admitting in public that he made a mistake (giving the separatists modern weapons). Third, his objective is a new Russian empire so anything which furthers that is not an error in his opinion.

Just glad the Republicans aren't in power at the moment..

There is a slightly better than 50/50 chance that will change in November.
