theprotester Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 RIP to the 27 Aussies on board, and of course the other 270 odd other people. Now Putin is going to have to show a bit more of his hand. Meanwhile Israeli ground forces mobilise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Now Putin is going to have to show a bit more of his hand. I would suggest the opposite. Defence of the Russian border/heartland is more important than a civilian airline. This complicates things for Moscow and will cause them to tighten their operations.

theprotester Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You're far more MIL minded than me, but I would have thought he will need to give a little bit more of a nudge or a wink on whether he is with the separatists or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Fuck Hamas, but seriously fuck Israel. A bad situation continually made worse by their inability to acknowledge their own border. re Ukraine: I'm curious to see if the UN is going to encourage an international involvement at this point. If Bush were in office he'd be jumping to hook his Halliburton and KBR buddies up with some more US war contracts. Its all a fucking tragedy. Anyone fighting and dying (or just flying overhead) is not dying for the principles they think they are. War sucks.

Hua Guofang Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't think anyone is in any doubt that the Russians are facilitating the rebels/separatists/numpties - Putin could publicly back away all he wants but it would make SFA difference. Firstly, as I mentioned, Russia's national defence is more important than a Malaysian aircraft (may have been different if it was German, French, British, Polish, American, etc.) and that means this will not force Russia to back off. Secondly, those involved in making decisions are well aware of Russia's imperatives and no matter what Russia/Putos says publicly they will expect Russia to continue with defending their sphere of influence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsmbfan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So it was the rebels who shot it down? Or the rebels intercepted Russian communications confirming it was a Russian SAM? I'm confused. All I know is fuck some Malaysia Airlines. That stock price just fucking plummeted for suuuure. edit: not trying to be ignorant, but I almost got kidnapped in Mexico once by a one-eyed pegged leg fat mexican in a dirty back alley trying to score some weed. I knew better then, and whoever got their ticket on Malaysia airlines shoulda fuckin known better. Even dudes on twitter sayin "lol wtf omg this is the plane in case we go down lol #yolo" but in Danish or Icelandic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Suggesting that MAS is in anyway responsible for this incident is a bit ignorant. BA, Sing. and a bunch of other tier 1 airlines were flying this route. It was just stupidly bad luck that MAS copped this only a few months after MH370.

CALIgula Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 i think the washington post posted the audio of the mf'ers who shot the plane down....the local news played some clips of it, and they thought they were shooting down a war plane, but then realized it was a civilian plane. regardless RIP to the innocent passengers. btw, nsmb...would love to hear details on your story of almost getting kidnapped...how did you get away?

Hua Guofang Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The concussion that would have occurred as the warhead detonated would have knocked the shit out of everyone on the aircraft. If by chance they were still alive they would have been pretty incoherent. Also the aircraft is flying at a speed of hundreds of miles per hour. You're thrust out in to the open at that speed you're getting so heavily buffeted that you're' probably in sensory overload. When an aircraft breaks up mid-flight most of the bodies are naked as they are traveling so fast in the air that their clothes are ripped from their bodies. What's happening now is that the pro-Russian rebels will be taking their time to allow independent investigators on to the crash site as they go through the area removing any and all parts of the missile that may indicate that it was Russian supplied. Everyone knows that Russia is responsible for this (clearly not an intentional act, pretty major fuck up though), doesn't seem like anyone other than Australia is willing to point the finger though. Australia has the luxury to do this though as they are on the other side of the world, would never be expected to send military as a response and there is little trade between the two nations that could be effect by a souring of relations. Given that I am Australian though, Putin can go fuck himself and I'd much prefer his invitation to the G20 in Brisbane to be revoked. Our PM is a boxer, Putin is a Judo guy, reckon we should put them both in the cage to sort this shit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexcauldron Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Fuck Hamas, but seriously fuck Israel. A bad situation continually made worse by their inability to acknowledge their own border. If your country was "bordered" by a terrorist organization forcing itself into a state to obtain legitimacy while advocating the eradication of semitic peoples and claiming your capital city as their own you might think differently about that statement.

Not exactly, they were one of very few carriers going in the zone, the intelligence reports all state that there was no risk at 30k feet, but still almost all carriers have avoided the route. Definitely not the first time this has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 If your country was "bordered" by a terrorist organization forcing itself into a state to obtain legitimacy while advocating the eradication of semitic peoples and claiming your capital city as their own you might think differently about that statement. If you're referring to Israel as a terrorist state attempting to obtain legitimacy, then I actually already agree. :D If, however, you're saying that Hamas represents the entirety of Palestine, that the constant destruction and invasion of Palestinian lands by Israel are "defensive moves," or that the lands taken in the Six Day War or any of their other land grabs are rightfully Israel's, then no, I will not reconsider my statement. Arguing about Jersualem belonging solely to Israel is pretty outrageous. Semitic refers to Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic, btw. In conclusion, still FUCK ISRAEL.

Definitely not the first time this has happened. Agree to a point as I think "very few" is overstating things. Reputable airlines such as BA and Sing. were still using it as far as I'm aware, however there was an Antonov shot down there a week prior and the new warning reflected that. So there's good reason why some airlines were avoiding it. In saying that, I've lost count how many times I've flown over Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. in commercial aircraft as they've been active conflict zones.
