Divided on what side of the border it came from.

I cannot even fathom that it is still unclear who was on board of the flight. There have to be passenger lists, aren't there?

WSJ: US Intelligence: confirms missile hit plane. Can't tell, but it's possible missile came straight from russia.
Well 23 US citizens died, we'll be involved in some capacity. Most likely cripple Russia through sanctions.

23 of our fucking citizens were on board, last I saw. They damn well better.
Found this on Twitter, I have no idea if the source is good:
If this is true: Kill them. Kill them all. With as much pain as possible.
Looting is to be expected, tbh.
Oh dear. American and British intervention should strongly be considered.

actually, I don't.
you do realize you are not directly affected by this tragedy, right... I'd argue your Joke about your uncle being on the plane is truly a fucked up thing to say.

DNR already found info about them:
"-So that mean it (plain) imported spies. Nehui (I don't know how to translate it, but intonation and altitude it was like they are guilty for being shut.) flying, there is war going on."
Their nationals have been murdered on foreign soil. I'll be surprised if Western European nations with casualties and the U.S. do not get involved.
let see if checks out with the dialogue of those rebels
Wouldn't someone have been monitoring that airspace and be able to confirm whether or not there was a fighter there?

What do you even want in this thread if all you do is being an ass?
Not as tasteless as what you just posted. What's wrong with you???

There are dead Americans. They damn well better get involved. I'm in favor of drone strikes (with permission from the Ukrainian government) and BIG economic sanctions against Russia.

And what do you propose they do exactly?
yup, fox news is reporting the same (no surprise, same company)
also talking about the deleted BUK tweets

I'd think he would have a better idea of how this effects him than you do.
Yes.
They'll urge Putin to crush these rebels. He has no choice now.
I think you should start by explaining how they're blameless.

Too late. There were 23 Americans aboard that flight.
Its only a matter of what exact shape and proportion that involvement will take.
Why do they support these fucking terrorists?
Yes we should end the planet instead.
It's so bizarre to me how hard it is to confirm this. Airline should have instant access to info on who boarded
why not?
They would but won't make public until the families of the dead are informed. So in the meantime journalists will try to find info on the make-up of the passenger list through sources etc.

So sad.... This planet and the greedy ass people that inhabit it are fucking ruining it! My thoughts and prayers to those that were affected.
Innocent children (and adults) dying over fucking nonsense!

I'm sure he will say that it demonstrates Ukraine has lost control over the situation and Russian intervention is necessary

offer all necessary resources to find out what brought the plane down and by who's hands. Then get with the UN Security Council and figure out appropriate next steps based on who the culprit appears to be.
*Incredibly* unlikely.
Unlike simple missile defense systems, modern warplanes actually do have systems sophisticated enough to verify the make and model of an unknown plane. There is quite literally no way a fighter pilot targets and fires on a commercial liner by accident, and I refuse to believe a pilot would shoot down a passenger liner. It's not happening.
Further, we have audio evidence linking rebels with the incident, Pentagon confirmation of a SAM that was tracked, and commentary from other people on the ground confirming a surface to air launch.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's highly, highly unlikely that a fighter jet had anything to do with this. Based on the overwhelming evidence that points to a SAM attack.
This. Isn't the only way he could save face now.

My thoughts go out to your countrymen/women who are affected in the incident.
Hopefully your national government and its leaders will be better equipped to deal with this aviation incident this time around, it was rather incoherent for the previous one this year.

Doesn't really surprise me to be perfectly honest. Even in the face of tragedy, people will be selfish and greedy.

What I would like to know is: Did airlines know about that cargo plane that got shot down this week? If so, wouldn't it be kind of risky to still use that route even if you know that airplanes get shot down by the rebels. Just saying, I don't want to judge anybody for that. Just what I would do if I would have known about that cargo airplane.
I don't know if I trust a twitter account with a name like "fuckkiev". Doesn't sound offical or calm, no matter the side it is on.Found this on Twitter, I have no idea if the source is good:
