Small but perhaps relevant point: nobody deliberately shot down an airliner; it was a mistake (they thought it was a transport).
We did the same thing to an Iranian airliner, which we thought was an Iranian F-16.
Mistakes were made in many ways; not the least being, the absurd attempts to deny responsibility.
But a mistaken shoot-down is different from a deliberate shoot-down.
Russia (or her surrogates) need to apologize, make reparations, and pay for the plane.
I’m sure they will get right to taking ownership, just like they always have. Anything that hurts Russia will be buried and covered up. Big gov tyrants always subscribe to the noble lie, just like they do in this country. OKC, TWA800, Waco, fast and furious, operation PATCON.... The list goes on and on. Peasants must believe in the infallibility of Gov or they might become free.
