But what would Putin possibly have to gain by shooting down a civilian jumbo jet? Alleged Russian actions in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine by advisors and Spetsnaz, and the arming of the rebels, had fallen off of front page worldwide news news lately. This puts it back on front page news around the world and will make it that much harder for Russia to achieve it goals of annexing eastern Ukraine. With lots of western Europeans and Americans on that plane, there is likely to be much less appeasement among Western Europe towards Russia. And who knows, maybe Obama, after being asked by Ukraine for arms, will give them more than MREs.
And what would the rebels have to gain by intentionally shooting it down? Nothing but worldwide condemnation, making it that much harder to achieve their separatist goals in Donetsk..
We have yet to explore the possibility of aliens.

Re: This shat just went next level
I heard/saw a report that our military was watching and is analyzing data. Report said that they will be able to tell us what kind of missile it was and where it was launched from. On the what kind of missile it was something about the "heat signature."
Course it was on Fox News so I guess we have to dismiss it. Jennifer Griffin.

Afghanistan in 01' was even smaller scale- from what I read was never more than a handful of bombers at a time.

Seeing the B-52 contrails circling made the Taliban shit themselves before the bombs even rained on them, and was also very therapeutic for the nation to see while the embers at the WTC were still smoking.
I'm surprised you don't remember all of that. It was only 12 and a half years ago.

Re: This shat just went next level
Also, lots of conclusions being jumped to about Russia obviously providing the separatists with AA weapons.
They easily could have the weapons from Ukrainian bases they've seized.

Just to be very correct, carpet bombing uses "dumb" or unguided bombs...last really used in Gulf War I...93henfan wrote:We were running B-52s all over Afghanistan in October 2001. Carpet bombistan!
In Afghanistan, even 12 years ago, B-52s were dropping guided munitions...not a perfect solution, but much less collateral damage...

yeah I know all about it... there were dozens of examples of "precision" bombing killing our allies and our own troops - I just like to bring them up when ditto heads talk about American "precision" bombing whilst simultaneously denying that we were indeed also carpet bombing...
