Ron Paul or no, there was zero advantage to Russia to shoot down an airliner, and you can be sure their traffic control and ground crews on missiles know it was a passenger jet. If we want to find culprits, whose fighters escorted the jets so far off course of normal flight paths for commercial jets. As usual, the media is front and center creating lies and layers of deception for the masters.
I prosecuted thousands of people n 25 years. Some of them held prominent positions in government and corporate America. Many of them were exceptionally intelligent. And I can’t think of one of the top of my head that anyone would think that committing that crime would give them any more than “zero advantage”.
That is not a valid argument. People and governments all the time do what seems to be a “zero advantage” action. And they all have one thing in common ... every single one of them thinks they will get away with it. It’s never a case of looking at the consequences if you get caught.
Ron Paul’s argument is ludicrous. Does that mean Putin did do it? No. Not enough facts yet. But the Paul argument is absurd.
