It has a lot of relevance to the thread. It explains your refusal to do anything but keep driving home the same point over and over again. Those bad evil russians. the cold war. Russia hasn't ever done anything to me. I'm pretty sure they've never done anything to you either. Where is your proof Russia did anything? We been asking you since about 8 oclock last night. What Information are u basing your opinion off of? You just looking at pictures of the wreckage and using your psychic powers to rewind that days events? Last time I checked we all been looking at the same info as you, and there is nothing that says Russia is the one who did this.

Would you fly in a passenger jet over Syria or Gaza or eastern Afghanistan?
No.
I don't fly.
I have no interest in that part of the world, and I have no interest in getting groped by the TSA.

Russia is as CORRUPT as they come.
WikiLeaks cables condemn Russia as 'mafia state'

Russia is provoking war, but unfortunately the West will do nothing about it.
If Russia wanted to provoke a war they coulda sunk an aircraft carrier not a freaking 777. Who the hell starts their opening salvo like that?
Yay someone has some sense here!
We may have got off to a bad start but your sure making sense.
What happened was not intentional. It was a mistake. One that Russia, Ukraine and the Air line company are guilty off.
But you will mindlessly support bombing of others by same gov. that deployed TSA .... OMG that I call consistency.

What a crock of snip.
Never done anything ?
How about spying on you, me, and everyone in between for the past 60 years.
How about them reopening their largest spy complex in Cuba.
How about bringing this nation to the brink of NUCLEAR war when they decided to park their nukes in Cuba.
How about arming those people who have been killing our fellow Americans in Iraq, and Afghanistan?
They 'haven't' done anything?
Keep making EXCUSES.
Russia
And Putin are NO 'boyscouts'.
And it is beyond insane that some people think they are.

So far, as I'm concerned, there has been no hard evidence YET to state with absolute certainty that the plane was shot down by a missile.

I've been saying all along that I am not picking a side or placing blame until facts are presented that indicate the need to do so.
That is making excuses for Mother Russia?
I don't think I could be any more impartial and reasonable!
C'mon Neo, just say that you hate Russia. I would respect that more than the spineless maneuvering you are doing to avoid saying it outright.

The only real fact in this is we'll never know the real facts.
So pick a source and a bias.

Check this picture, around upper left we see some sort of hole with metallic fragment pointing inward. At used altitude, the craft is pressurized and metallic shard should point outward...

As for the motives, separatist could have been tricked to fire on a civilian plane as a psychological warfare tactic. It can also be an honest mistake. I've seen high ranking officier in the AF incredibly stupid and completly detached from reality. Maybe the film "Dr Strangelove" was inspired from something after all...
Also, like a contractor from a big, big defence co. once said to me: "you know, sh*t happen sometime".

Not that I'd expect them to admit if he was. Just as if it was Air Force One, there is no way they'd admit that there was an attempt if there was.
