What we can't speculate or hypothesize here at FR anymore? Dang... stop the presses bubba. :)
Not sure what you are driving at . . . everyone should feel free to speculate, but posting speculation as fact? In order to spin the outcome? That’s where things get a little tricky.
Ha! That’s just life on Free Republic!
Still, I think we should use Occam’s Razor first, unless, after a proper amount of time to get the FACTS, other FACTS come out.
Occam’s Razor, however, would dictate some hot heads in a war, after just shooting down a Ukrainian Air Force cargo plane with a SAM a couple of days ago, did this too. Kind of a hero to zero moment once they realize what they just did.
In any case, the fact that it is a Malaysian Air jet means little just because of the earlier disappearance.
So I’m waiting for the facts.
