Russian militants shoot down Malaysian passenger plane
 

I was just listening to the Russian ambassador to the UN.

He blames the Ukrainian government for allowing passenger planes to fly over their territory.

Given Putin's hostility to gays, one might suspect something more sinister then.

That there were so many Europeans on the plane just makes it worse for the Russians.

I expect the EU to finally drop the hammer on Russia in terms of sanctions.

Misguided title by someone who is nuts about "evidence". There is no enough evidence of who did it yet, according to the USATODAY.

I am pretty sure there was zero gay passenger on Iran Air civilian Flight 655 which USS Vincennes shot down on 3 july in 1998. They were already taken care of by the Islamic government.

Russian newspapers reporting: "Ukrainian air traffic control forced the Malaysian airliner to decrease its altitude." Sickening propaganda.

Mindful: use your mind. There is no reason for Ukrainian antiaircraft guns to he shooting at planes in that area. It was the Russians. There is already overwhelming evidence for this.

That's right. There are no gays in Iran.

I have no idea why Russians would want to shoot at a civilian flight. But when USS Vinceenes shot down an Iranian civilian flight, the US government called it a "mistake".

I appreciate your perspective.

It was a mistake. This was a mistake too.

What is important is the circumstances surrounding the mistakes and how to prevent these sorts of mistakes.
