“One can’t doubt that the missile downing the airliner was an intentional act.”
I hadn’t heard many people saying that an airliner was shut down intentionally. I heard some people saying separatists thought they had shot down a military transport plane.
So your theory is they knew it was a passenger jet and intentionally shot it down, and you’re so confident in this that “one can’t doubt it”.
What was the motive? Who benefited? What did they hope to gain?
It was in a war zone. The sophistication of the weapons systems says that it had to be tracked. So, the shoot down was intentional. There might have been remorse about the type of plane afterwards, but there can be no doubt that it was targeted, tracked, and shot down
