The US admitted that they shot it down immediately and they paid reparations.
Does anyone expect that from Putin???
Obviously there were differences in immediate responses by the govts. My point is only to add the Iranian airbus to the repeated mentioning of KAL. We had our own accidental military/civilian shoot down. It’s an historical fact.
Time will tell.
My only point is to point out that KAL and MH-17 were NOT the only civilian passenger jets shot down by military missiles.
Reading these stories, it’s all too easy to overlook the Vincennes shoot down.
