I read an article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/17/who-malaysia-plane-crash-victims-aids-_n_5597547.html) this morning that up to 100 AIDS/HIV researchers were on the plane. With Russia’s attitude toward the population most affected by that disease, would it be possible he’d have the plane shot down for that reason?
Not likely but not impossible. America looks so weak that personal whims would appear to be safely indulgeable such as shooting down a plane for such a reason.
