America Is Not The Greatest Country In The World... Anymore

[Black Diamond]

Putin certainly has more balls than Obama. I can, to some extent, understand why he gains more respect.

Welcome to DP, Mr. Putin!

Why did you shoot down that plane over Ukraine? Are you concentrating only on ISIS over in Syria, or are you up to no good as well?

Thanks jimnyc
Got any concrete evidence of that jimnyc,as BUK missile launchers were on both sides of the fence!

Why would Russia want to shoot down a commercial aircraft filled with hundreds of civilians? What would the Russian separatists/Russian Federation gain from shooting it down? Nothing, in fact they would probably lose (propaganda/information war wise)

I can tell you who would gain from having that plane shot down and that would be the Ukrainian government who allowed the commercial airliner to fly over a war zone! They gain because they can blame it on Russia and then increase their international support.

The type of BUK missiles were decommissioned by the Russian Federation years ago, yet they are still used by the Ukrainians but the media here will just repeat RUSSIAN MADE RUSSIAN MADE

Yes Russia correct me if I am wrong is the biggest exporter of weapons in the world?

No that would be the American Military industrial complex.

The missiles which allegedly shot the plane down were decommissioned by the Russian Federation in 2011.

I think Gunny is getting a bit irritated at Putin worship (or he wishes his country had a leader like him)

When it comes to Putin I wish my country had a leader like ME. Diplomacy with me is I'd turn my military on his butt and have to go to the john and then play Hillary --- "I didn't know". Sorry we wiped out your country. I was going potty.

Closely behind is the Russian Federation.

It's called a mistake. They even played audio not long after it happened, between guys on the ground, and it seemed like they accidentally shot it down.

The strongest and greatest military in the world, defending the greatest country in the world.

Ukrainian government faked it as they put this out. This audio was not found independently. Funnily enough this audio was miraculously found in such a short amount of time after the incident.

When you hear things such as this, and Russia released information blaming the Ukraine - how do you know which is telling the truth?

And Fwiw - intercepting audio isn't difficult, not sure why you would think otherwise. Especially if in a war zone. They would all be listening in on one another.

Russia has lied about a shitload. At one point they claimed they were not even in Ukraine, and that was proven a lie not shortly thereafter, even by the USA (which Btw, also stated Russia shot down the plane)
