Mount Athos: Stop with the disinformation.
Assuming that MH17 was flying over 32,000 over Eastern Ukraine, where was it heading? Donestsk? Moscow? Anywhere in eastern Crimea?
No, it was high enough to be an international flight heading east/southeast and going out of Ukrainian air space.
This was NOT a military plane because the Ukrainian transports shot down by the pro-Soviet “insurgents” were at low altitudes, which is where military transport planes fly, not at 33,000 heading out of the country.
A little common sense and knowledge of flight plans destroys your made-in-Moscow conspiracy themes.
Also, any radar profile of the large 737 would show that it was not a transport, since the BUK is a sophisticated radar-guided system that could do that. Also the speed differences between a military transport and a civilian airliner are significant.
The shot-down was no accident. Now, whether the Soviet-aided “insurgents” (often GRU or Spetsnaz troops, hired Soviet neo-Nazis (Yes, they have been hired as Soviet mercenaries), and Russians living in the Ukraine, definitely knew that MH17 was a civilian plane is still something to be discovered.
However, the shoot-down was a coldly planned operation and given the altitude of the plane and the direction it was heading in, those who fired pretty well knew that it wasn’t a Ukrainian military plane.
Since they had shot down several Ukrainian govt helicopters, two transports and two fighter-bombers in recent weeks, the “insurgents” were on a roll so anything that flew was a target, civilian or not.
MH17 was NOT A THREAT to the pro-Russian forces! What they did was cold-blooded murder and Putin made it possible whether he gave the order or not to shoot it down.
When someone says “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”, it doesn’t take a genius to understand the covert request/order implicit in it.
Mouth Athos: change your name to Mount Pathetic. It is more appropriate to your pro-Russian disinformation campaign.
DISINFORMATZIA! You can’t write your crap without it.
Well done!
I have not introduced any disinformation.
I have pointed out three true facts that the article should have included, but did not. It claimed to be a comprehensive review of the facts, but it neglected some really big ones.
If you read my comments, you would notice I said the theory that the Separatists shot down the plane is far more likely to be true.
But you are typing away as if I have put down that the Ukrainians must have shot down the plane.
Because your reading comprehension is poor, and you type before you think.
“MH17 was NOT A THREAT to the pro-Russian forces! What they did was cold-blooded murder”
Ukraine accidentally shot down a passenger plane in 2001.
Would you describe that as cold blooded murder?
What told you it couldn’t possibly have been a misidentification? Your psychic powers? The voices in your head? They intentionally shot down a passenger plane — for what motive? It benefited them — how?
