The Ukrainian airliner was shot down by Iranian and it was a mistake-this is the information I got through our news channel.
They don't think it will result in some punishment. It's sad nevertheless. Markus |

^ meanwhile, Iran has invited investigators into the crash site that they have completely cleaned up. Iran is bulldozing the area ahead of any investigation.

Sounds like a fairly massive screwup on behalf of the Iranian military.

Yep. And the people involved will likely be 'disappeared'.

Iran is going to be the laughing stock of the world
Can you imagine these fools in charge of nuclear weapons? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...da/4429314002/ Ali Rabiei, a spokesperson for the Iranian government, also accused the United States of spreading misinformation Quote:

To me as well.
There were too many Iranians aboard as if a hypothesis of "message-sending to the west" makes sense. However, it needs evidence given by those who raise the claim. If they do not release it, its just hear-say, and unproven claim.

Aggressive action by Russians? Ummm NO. I cant imagine they'd place a ship in jeopardy as they dont have that many. You can see clearly early on @ 1:00 the U.S. ship is overtaking it could even very well be considered a crossing situation. Either rule would require the ship to port (U.S. ship) to take early and substantial action and keep out of the way of other vessel.
As the Russian ship approaches from astern I'm watching the wash and I seem to think the U.S. ship may have even slowed down some in front of the Russian one. Technically however I think its now the Russians job to give way. No violations really since no collision had occurred, a miss by a foot is just as good as a miss by a mile. Im sure things like this happened a lot during the cold war. But with todays instant access to information governments and captains really need be careful not to embarrass themselves. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/polit...deo/index.html

Especially if it was on purpose to hurt President Trump, the USA, Boeing aircraft
and even make it look like an accident, but to deny it happen with the whole world watching ... This is laughable and proves that Iran can not be trusted with a nuclear weapon. Did you know that this general (whats his name) called for a nuclear cloud over Israel ... Think about that one

The US should have targetted a second high ranking Al Kuds commander, their chief of finances. The attack failed.
