It only took the Yanks 5 years before they apologized ...
Iran Air Flight 655 was an Iran Air civilian passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai that was shot down by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes on 3 July 1988. The attack took place in Iranian airspace, over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, and on the flight's usual flight path. The aircraft, an Airbus A300 B2-203, was destroyed by SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles fired from the Vincennes.
All 290 on board, including 66 children and 16 crew, died.[1] This attack ranks seventh among the deadliest disasters in aviation history ...
John Kerry now comes out and says: "the US had seen supplies moving into Ukraine from Russia in the past month, including a 150-vehicle convoy of armoured personnel carriers, tanks and rocket launchers given to the separatists."
And all the time civilian airliners continue flying over the region. Great; Just bloody marvellous - What the fuck goes through all these clowns' heads?

It's arguably becoming as good a time as any for having a spray at all the evil loathsome arsewipes though maybe?
I reckon the focus needs to stay on Russia for the moment. If America had shot down the plane, then I would say the focus should be on America. The logic isn't complicated.
To turn this around into an anti-US rant says something about the complexes in the minds of the US-haters.
These US-haters seem to be locked into some sort of demented fury that never lets go and controls all their thoughts.

Same can be said for the Russia haters.
My specific problem with the West/US in situations like this is that history proves we are not lily white. Yet we insist on being seen as such. So nothing we say can be trusted either.
But it is interesting seeing them all opening their yaps and letting their brains fall out their mouths - Helps give those who try to be a bit unbiased in their approach just a little more accurate pic of the sort of world we live in anyway for mine.

If Russia shot down the plane, then anti-Russian comments at the time are fair enough.
If America shoots down a plane, then anti-American comments at the time are fair enough.
It is the fixation on ancient history that I don't understand. People always do this. Oh, but twenty years ago your country did this! Oh, but fifty years ago you did that too! Oh, but a hundred years ago ... and so on.
Move on people. This is 2014.

It's 2014 and Hillary Clinton just could the next US prez in 2016 - If dudes who are looking for a blow up in the world situation don't get it before then regardless, I reckon Hillary can be to relied on to up their chances.
I'm starting to get seriously cranky here Doc - Kerry knew there were massive flows of heavy duty Russian military hardware and expertise into Donetsk and yet nothing was done to curtail international civilian flights over the airspace???
Reminds me just a bit too much of the odd sick twisted dude you'd get in the mining industry whose approach to safety was to sit back and say "Look at what poor old stupid is doing; Ferk - He's REALLY gunna hurt himself - Hehehe."
Have our 'full and open and honest and totally transparent' investigation into the downing of MH17 by all means - But ask all parties what their involvement was/culpability is as part of it surely?!?
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash.

Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
