Malaysian aircraft shot down in the Ukraine

[Abiding Now]

Reason number 137 on why I hate flying in silver metal tubes at 400MPH at 35,000 feet.

One can't help but wonder why the last two major plane accidents have involved Malaysia Airlines. It makes one think that there could be a connection somewhere with all this...

[SiblingRevelry]

Here's an article discussing why airlines don't avoid flying over conflict zones. Basically, it comes down to money and time, as in it costs more money and takes more time.

It appears that the a pro-Russian separatist group was overheard saying "We just shot down a plane"....

"We did warn you-- do not fly in our sky."

I know we're not supposed to hate, but I am really begining to hate the "pro-russian rebels", and vladimir putin for what they're doing.

Had AMERICA responded in a stronger manner to the rectum lice attacking Ukraine, there is a very good chance that all of those people on that flight would be alive today.

De-escalation is "good" but putin is a liar and so are his rebels. They take kindness and patience for weakness.

The WHOLE WORLD needs a STRONG AMERICA!
That's just the way it is!
This incident, along with others around the world, proves that point!

I really, really hope our President has a strong response now and I hope the Malaysians get involved militarily or demand and receive something from Russia-- they need to stand up too!

Why is our world full of PANSIES now? No one wants to stand for right! Everyone wants to appease the bullies!

KILL THE BULLIES! MAKE THEM BLEED! SPILL THEIR BLOOD!

Yes, very unchristian to want to kill terrorists. Lol.

Wait till Iran get their nuclear gadgets going……..all you see now is childs play.

The kind of missle it took to down an aircraft from 33,000 feet was not one of those shoulder mounted ones as they are only good at low altitudes.

This was a very complicated misslle and misslle launcher that required extensive training and support to fire. Clearly not some rag tag citizens militia but fully trained and equipped soldiers used by Russia in the Ukranian conflict.

I bet Russia is now wishing they had spent a little more time teaching them to identify targets before engaging them.

Now we just have to wait for our President to apologize for this terrible incident. After all everything bad in the world is America's fault and Obama is eager to say so.

Our standing in the world right now is so weak I never thought I would live to see the day. I can't believe we have two more years of this man as the "leader of the free world".

Oh good grief.

Yes, please rush into world war 3! Let's send more kids to die for nothing.

You're as bad as the warmongers in Congress. No one is appeasing anyone.

[TJJJ]

That is exactly what is going to happen if the hawks in congress get their way.

We do not need another war to end all wars.
