Yeah?
Well that’s Justin’s problem, and he can go handle it by himself.

If we had admitted the TWA flight was shot down by a rocket, nobody would ever fly again. It would have been the end of civil aviation.
So, the government lied... (which it has a propensity to do anyway),
and gullible us, believed them.

If the only sound on that black box after the Iranians listen to it with the assistance of the Russians is “kaboom”, the West has as much a chance of gaining access to it as Bernie Sanders does in acing an economics exam.

Rush Limbaugh will really be upset if you say St. James Kallstrom ran a coverup.

Clearly, according to eyewitness accounts, TWA 800 had a problem with its center fuel tank.

...as Bernie Sanders does in acing an economics exam.LOL, that's my new substitute phrase for the hackneyed "as much chance as a snowball in hell" for a low-probability occurrence.

I never did. I quit flying commercial, private and quit my pilot’s license training, 2 days after the July 1986 shootdown.

Maybe Trudeau can explain to me something no one I have seen even mention. Iran is supposed to be under sanctions. Ukraine benefits from billions in US aid going into the country to prop the country up and the democrat thieves seem to even let them keep two thirds of that US aid.
So, why are Ukrainian passenger and cargo flights routinely going to and from Iran anyway?

Accidents had happened before in such an environment. On July 3, 1988, at the tail end of the Iran-Iraq War, an Aegis cruiser in the Persian Gulf, the USS Vincennes, fired two Standard Missiles at a commercial Iranian Airbus, IR 655. That was not an accident.
The pilot turned off his transponder and mimicked the flight pattern of a fighter jet while making a feign attack towards a US Carrier Group.
He knew exactly what could likely happen...
"Hmmmm... let me scare the Americans with this passenger jet full of innocent people... maybe they martyr us, maybe not..."

Word for the day in the MSM. Crossfire. Can you spell crossfire, children? Bad man Trump shot a missile at Superhero Soleimani and airplane with nice people crashed because he did it. End of story

Yes, that too. Another good question.
