not defending anyone here but it seems like flying a commercial jet over a war zone with known automated air defense systems in place is a bad idea.
Funny that the two most powerful men in the world go by the same name. The Shameless Scumbag Twins.
good point. it also seems if we had someone who had the balls to stop Vlad, we would not be where we are today.
Vlad is doing what we all knew he would do and bammy is doing nothing about it.
I keep asking... why is the WH unwilling to call Malaysia Air and ask for the passenger manifest?
The plane was cleared by international traffic control for that route.
But that’s not the topic here- the Russians shot it down and are attempting to blame Kiev.
And I am resisting that-
The US used to be the only superpower capable of keeping Russia (and the USSR) in check. Unfortunately, we're currently out to lunch.
‘Putin says Ukraine bears responsibility ...’
Who knows? Maybe he’s right.
The truth is ALWAYS their enemy
And we plebes aren’t even worthy of it
In retrospect, that was probably a bad idea.
I'm sure there are battalions of lawyers gearing up who will agree wholeheartedly.
Ukraine doesn’t have the weapons
AND Putin said they bear responsibility because it’s ‘over their territory’
That’s funny, I thought they considered Donetsk to be Strelkov’s and Putin’s territory just yesterday
EXACTLY~
Putin says ‘if there was peace over this land’ while HE is the person most culpable ON EARTH for the mayhem in Ukraine!!!
So no blame for the Kremlin?
When they give a bunch of yahoos advanced AA weaponry?
It hurts Putin’s position to have this plane blow up.
For exactly the reason of articles like this - with this plane blowing up over Ukraine, Russia stands to be blamed for it.
And yet, Russia would gain nothing by shooting down a civilian airplane, other than the contempt of the rest of the world.
The US government, neocons, the UK government, Western banking, etc., - they all benefit from articles like this.
They want the US military to engage in Ukraine to prop up the regime in Kiev and get Ukraine to sign itself into the European Union.
If the US government and its “controllers” can use this plane blowup to rally neocon support for American military action in Ukraine, the event benefits their goals more than anyone else.
Going by who stands to benefit from the event, the finger must point at a Western-backed black op to knock this plane out of the sky over Ukraine.
Putin head psychopathy of a nation of psychopaths.
Taking a page out of the Obama playbook.
Tinfoil much?
