It’s embarrassing we have people at Free Republic that don’t think these things through and jump to conclusions based on no evidence. The Russians had no motive to take out the Polish President as he was no threat to them. Yes Poland is more freedom loving and loves the US but it isn’t much of a threat as the Polish have their hands full still trying to rebuild after destruction from the Nazi’s and the Soviets. Taking out the Polish President does nothing for Russia. But if Putin wanted to do that he could have easily had him assassinated without leaving a trail. People move around pretty freely in Poland and police resources are modest - in fact there is a lot of crime issues. Much easier ways than taking down a President’s plane.
I was just over there 3 months ago. Since the crash I have corresponded with my Polish friends and they don’t think this was a Russian conspiracy. If anyone had reasons to blame the Russians it is them. My friend’s Mother was starved by the Russians in one of their camps and had other family members shot. In fact he is lucky to have been born.
I find your comments odd given that a few thousands of people in Poland protested the Russians denials in obtaining the black boxes and getting only transcripts, not being able to speak with the videographer, etc, etc.
The mantra was “we want the truth”. And the numbers of protestors are growing, so I have to question your comments and the truth of what you say.
