“It’s Russia invading a sovereign nation and taking out aircraft. It’s Ukraine defending itself from Russia.”

Please stop the propaganda Bovine Excrement...

What idiot shoots at a civilian aircraft?

Want an answer? Russians trying to assert themselves in a sovereign nation. That’s who.

Maybe the Russians should stop making it AN ACTIVE WARZONE.

And maybe you should stop making excuses.

“Please stop the propaganda Bovine Excrement...”

HA....so here’s a hard question for you...but if you think real long, you might be able to figure it out.

Is Ukraine in Russia’s borders waging a war? Or is Russia in Ukraine’s borders waging war?

I’m unwilling to argue over Russia’s part or the US and Nato’s part in the events in Ukraine.....BOTH are directly involved with Ukraine...in the fight as well as politics of Ukraine.

Additionally there are Oligarchs attempting to protect their turf in the East and would love to see Nato/US and Russia to declare war against one another there.

As mentioned...there are many moving parties on the ground in Ukraine....all with self interest and dibs on Ukraine.

However....this is on Putin’s border and we’d certainly guard ours with conflict there as well.

The REBELS are the ones doing the shooting. To say anything else is just plain BS Kiev Propaganda, and you KNOW IT.

Until you can PROVE IT...

And you can be sure that the NSA knows, within INCHES, where every single missile launched during this Civil War came from.

These guys are simply trolls who do this to get threads yanked....that way information isn't available to those seeking to know what's going on. Astounding the filth coming out of their mouths at other Freepers......but their standard mode of operation as all know.

Ah, so the new propaganda marching orders you have is to claim:
1) Civil war
2) pilots shouldn’t be flying in warzone.

Got it.

btw, where do you think the Russians on the ground in Ukraine got all the Russian equipment?

I’ll give you a hint....starts with “R”...ends with “ussia”

Those SAMs are deadly travelling a mile a second.

Why anycommander in a war zone would think to shoot at a plane travelling at 33,000 feet along a known commercial flight path that is moving out of his airspace is beyond comprehension.

“Planes fly over Gaza and that’s a KNOWN WAR ZONE”

Where several aircraft have ALREADY been known to have been shot down in the last month??

Everybody paying attention already KNEW the rebels had this kind of capability. They paraded it, and announced it, even though Kiev tried to continually deny it.

Remember, this entire area was a giant storehouse for Soviet-era weaponry, because it was the rally zone for Soviet third-tier divisions if the balloon ever went up.

These things didn’t just magically appear, they were already there.

Rather like all the ‘propaganda machines’ operating in this theater. Each attempting to cover their political butts in the face of the International Community.

I’m stunned that you are blaming the pilot of the Malaysian airliner —

“Is Ukraine in Russia’s borders waging a war? Or is Russia in Ukraine’s borders waging war”

Please direct me to anything pointing out th Russian Military’s OFFICIAL involvement??

You can’t, of course. But you won’t admit that.

To do so means admitting this is a CIVIL WAR, and Euromaidan PR, and Avakov’s new “Ministry of Propaganda” haven’t given you permission to do that yet, right??

Since when does Russian military admit involvement with anything?

Why do all you Russians support incursion into a SOVEREIGN nation?

Why do you run away from that question every single time I call you out on it?
