There is no conspiracy here Steven. None.
This is a massive F’up by the separatists who just days ago shot a Ukrainian Air Force cargo plane out of the sky with the same missile system.
As much as I think Obama stinks and is evil, he’s not smart enough to be part of what would be a very difficult and even masterful conspiracy.
Occam’s razor. What is the simplest logical rationale is almost always the reason.
Attributing this to an Obama-led conspiracy against the Russians is almost on the same level as the 9/11 Truthers who thing Bush and Cheney planned 9/11 to get Saddam Hussein’s oil.
The Buk radar system would tell the operators that the plane was over SIX MILES UP.
They knew what it was when they fired.
NOT an accident.
And TWA Flight 800 was a center fuel tank explosion.
Bingo!! The Russkies are going to take it in the shorts, because it was their Buk system and their people who fired the missile without confirming their target. It was reckless.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am not advocating a conspiracy!
I agree this is a massive F’up.
Many airplanes fly over the territory, staying at least 31,000 feet up. How the soldiers are able to pick out a cargo plane 30,000 feet up, then confuse a civilian plane for a Ukraine army cargo plane is a F’up.
My rant is more about 0bama’s posturing between fundraising and non-help since the war started.
I stand skeptical about any voice recordings that point to some conclusion
