Scott, eventually you will know what they want you to know. A lot of cover-ups, etc....happens in these situations.
watching the news, they are showing pics of dead bodies on the ground and confirmed that everyone on the plane has died.

so sad

Now with strict & aggressive sanctions by usa & EU put on Russia will return with retaliation by Russia......this may have implications of a war of some kind.

There are reasons why things like this happen......I don't think there are many accidents like this & if it was a ground to middle attack, well I rather not want to think about what implications come out of this......

Also, I rather get my information of what's going on in the world online & not controlled media outlets like CNN or other news agencies on TV that are very controlled.

That plane was coming from Holland, so you are going to likely have a big mix of nationals on that flight. Which means there are going to be a shitload of nations that are hopping mad at Russia. Putin may have really stepped in it this time...

Commentators on TV are saying it was possibly a small rogue element.......I don't think it was & there is no way they would know this that fast.

There are 295 people dead & I'm hoping this act wasn't used for some kind of political BS & sacrificed 295 people to get something done.......we live in a dark world & some of these humans on this earth will go to unbelievable lengths to get things done.

Everything I'm gathering (keep in mind lots could change) is that the pro-Russian insurgents shot down a plane they thought was Ukrainian. Apparently they took credit for downing a Ukrainian plane like 10 minutes before news broke and are now saying they didn't shoot anything down. Who knows.

The the pro-Russian separatist leader said they shot it down. He deleted the post but it was apparently captured before the delete.

Translation:


AN-26 airplane was shot down near Torez, it fell somewhere behind the mine "Progress".
We warned - do not fly in "our sky".
And here is the video proof of another "bird-fall" (bird = slang for an airplane).
Another bird fell behind the spoil tip, residential areas were not affected.
No civilians were harmed.

All of you armchair QB's claiming this a precursor to war have no earthly idea of what you're talking about.

Even if the Russians did it, there is no way the US is going into direct war with Russia or any other nation who has nukes...

If true, that's what you get when you put idiots and sophisticated weapons systems together.

Why would we go to war with Russia over a Malaysian jetliner? What it would do is definitely put the international community on our side against Russia.

Remember in the debates - when Romney was asked what country is the biggest threat to the United States - and he said Russia - and Obama looked at him like he had 3 eyes and then mocked Romney

the USA I dont think is scared to put the stranglehold on the country to find them.



We live in a modern day society where all the presidents of each country are good friends & respect each & actually work together. There's a bad apple once in a while & they get dealt with like Sadaam or Gaddafi......world runs on power & money, that's it!

There's agendas behind the curtain that we will never know about & anyone thinking the info they are receiving from CNN or other news agencies is accurate is a fool.

The US has been the bully towards the rest of the war especially after the soviet union collapsed. We do what we want, where we want but others big heads in other countries are always benefitting from our maneuvers.

What we saw today could be absolutely nothing & nothing serious happens or could be the start of something big to come in the near future, time will tell.

Like Sooners stated, the US isn't gonna throw down on a country like Russia or China or even North Korea because of the crazy outcome that could come from it.

Yup, I remember but Obama knew the situation & knew Romney was correct buy played dumb, or maybe he really is a dumb puppet.

Everyone thought because the soviet union collapsed, that they weren't a super power anymore but they have been secretly rebuilding for years & I hope they don't do anything crazy to prove they're still as big as the US.

We showed how powerful we were by killing around 80,000 people in the Hiroshima bombing & an insane number of people after in the aftermath.
