On September 5th, 1983, then President Ronald Reagan addressed the American public after the Soviets shot down Korean airliner KAL 007.
“My fellow Americans, I’m coming before you tonight about a Korean airline massacre. The attack by the Soviet Union against 269 innocent men, women, and children aboard an unarmed Korean passenger plane. This crime against humanity must never be forgotten.”
Compare the former president’s strong response to the current president’s line about the Malaysian airliner MH17 reportedly shot down by the Russians, believed to have killed 280 passengers and 15 crew:
“It is wonderful to be back in Delaware. Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russia-Ukraine border. It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we’re working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority.”
President Obama then returned to his prepared statement on pitching more shovel-ready jobs to Americans. The contrast couldn’t be anymore clear.

My guess:

Ukrainian black op gone bad. Wanted to shoot down Putin's plane. Got their times mixed up. Shot down the wrong plane.

It's funny how quickly the Ukrainian president came out and immediately declared it was a military attack...


Or even better, false flag. Like others have said, how technically efficient does one have to be to fire one of those missiles accurately?

only one problem with this scenario (well two)

first- separatist rebels were bragging on social media about shooting down a ukranian transport about the same time the airliner went down

second- it isnt even close to the simplest answer except that it would be a very convenient deflection from the russians

I'm making the assumption that the IFF system was either ignored or the operators didn't recognize it. Maybe the transponder interrogation was ignored. There's a lot of "if's".

Putan's plane on the same path less than 30 minutes before the plane that was shot down, supposedly.

If Russia set it up to be carried out that way I give them just a small amount of kudos for going way out of their way to set some good "false flags"

I thought about this. If the Ukrainians were attempting to shot down Putin, and succeed, then their problems just got more severe. Forget about pro-Russian separatists. You have the entire Russian Army poised to attach. And I have to believe the Russians wouldn't wait around for the UN or the US to stick their noses into the mess. They'd attack, and I would say it'd be justified. :twocents:

For that reason, and the social media posts, that make the Ukrainian black-ops scenario less likely. To me. :twocents: :twocents: :coffee:

However, Russia likely knew all of that.

They knew that they'd be able to spin it as an attempt on Putin gone wrong by the rebels which would allow them to be painted as the bad guys for taking out a passenger plane.

There's another dynamic to consider here-

One side (Russia) has the FSB- one of the finest, most fanatical and ruthless intelligence services in the world.

The other side (Ukraine) has something akin to the intelligence services of Fiji.

It isn't likely that Ukraine knows about Putin's movements that the Russians dont want the Ukrainians to know.

BUT- all this is likely moot, because again- separatist forces were bragging about shooting down a plane on social media right around the time of the airliner shootdown. There was no other plane shot down around that time or date. But I'm sure Spandos can help us out with the chemtrails angle.
