I called it 5 minutes after the plane was reported down by using deductive reasoning....I made up few posts that CD Minders deleted that Iran probably got freaked and shot it down or it triggered a defense radar that was activated after they fired off those blanks at us.

The Ukraine is not going to care when Iran acquired the missiles, they will only care that Russian missiles were used to down a Ukrainian airliner.

Default Ukrainian airplane shot down by mistake by Iranian anti-aircraft missile, Pentagon officials believe

this barely even made the news when it happened, even though 176 people died

Quote:
The Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed shortly after taking off from Tehran’s international airport Wednesday was shot down by mistake by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile, Pentagon officials told Fox News.

Officials said U.S. intelligence increasingly points at the airliner being accidentally struck by a Russian-made missile, killing all 176 people on board the flight, just hours after Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles targeting two military bases housing American and coalition troops.

What they care or do not care about is not really relevant, only the facts are. Iran shot the plane down. Ukraine will of course do all they can to spin it because well, lying is what they do and they have a domestic audience they want to play up.

Ukraine is hardly innocent in these things, they accidentally shot down a Russian airliner back in 2001.

But despite the headline, the actual quotes from Ukraine are pretty different, and did not imply Russia had a direct hand in it as the headlines implied.

I didn't say "their worship" was the same. I same they worship the same God, and they do.

It’s been all over the news since it happened.

Current “ intelligence” is leaning towards Iran mistakenly taking it out.

What if the investigation reveals it was one of the missiles Iran shot at the US? Will Ukraine retaliate? Will it send a missile into Tehran?

That's funny!

As if Christians have never killed other Christians for something as trivial as not worshiping the same God in the "correct way".

Thanks for the laugh of the day.

the same 3rd world degenerates that paraded their "greatest hero in history" casket around in the back of a Chevy 4x4....

...didn't have the sense to close the airport and let the plane take off in the first place
