“it is an international commercial airline route that even Russian airliners travel.”
I have been following FlightRadar 24 over Ukraine for several weeks, since it became clear that they had AA capability.
I have been amazed that commercial airliners were still flying over a “War Zone”, (most airlines rerouted away from it) but, as I posted before, there is a political element here, as well.
To admit there is a “War Zone”, is to admit there is a “Civil War”, as well.
Note how hard the Kiev trolls try to control THE LANGUGE of this event. It isn’t a “Civil War”, it is an “Anti-Terrorist Operation”. It wasn’t a “Coup”, it was the “Not-a-coup” coup. Those aren’t actual Nazi’s in the Right Sector Militias, in the Maidan Demonstrations, or in the Governemnt, they are the “not-A-Nazi!” Nazi’s.
If Kiev had issued a warning to airlines, they would have had to admit they are fighting a “Civil War”, not “Terrorists”, and frankly, I don’t think the Obama Administration would have allowed that.
It is not a civil war.
You do know that Russia invaded a sovereign nation and took over it’s land?
You do know that Russia is consistently attacking and destabilizing the region?
Why do you support that?
PS..you can call me a troll all you want, This is a conservative forum, nobody buys your neo-soviet horseshit.
You are a lying, bootlicking Neo-Soviet scumbag. Incase no one has reminded you of that today.
