So you think we should all just shrug our shoulders and say “sh** happens?” or something? 298 civilians were murdered here, and not by a legitimate military. A bunch of drunken thugs with missiles did it. And those missiles were supplied by another thug who just illegally “annexed” a huge chunk of a sovereign country.

After the Vincennes incident there was a very thorough investigation. Fault was assigned, a public admission of guilt was given, and reparations were paid. You think any of that will happen here? All of this in light of the fact that the Iranian airliner involved was very likely deliberately engaging in a rather provocative act, ie flying directly at a US warship engaged in a mine clearing operation. Iranian mines btw.

There’s a world of difference between the two events.

The criminals who perpetrated this heinous act need to be rounded up and tried in Courts of Law for this, at the very least. I’d prefer they were summarily shot as terrorists but I’ll take what I can get.

Have no idea if they were drunk or thugs. They were probably ethnic Russians. Will give you that. Whether they were Ukrainian nationals or Russian nationals is unknown. The Ukranian Missile that shot down a Russian civilian aircraft was also supplied by Russia. So that is more or less irrelavent. That system is a major export for Russia. It is all over the world.

So now you are defending shooting down an Iranian civilian aircraft ? Can see why you like using terrorists in Libya and Syria.

Yeah we know you are the law. That is evident Judge Dread.
