Syria shot down a Russian military plane......

[Captdon]

Exactly. And more conjecture and speculation.



M-L

Nah, just the usual anti-Semitic bigotry.

[Captdon]

What about the 'don't give a $#@! about Israel but not automatically anti-Israel' crowd? Iran would make a far more useful ally. There is nothing precious about our relationship with Israel.

Edit: Obviously, our precious Sunni, blah, blah

Iran as an ally? There's a ridiculous statement. Yes, there is something precious about our relationship with Israel. Morality.

You're pretty funny.

How do you accidentally shoot down an aircraft ?

You can shoot the wrong aircraft out of the sky, but you can't accidentally shoot one down. Either you intended to shoot the aircraft down, or you didn't.

You targeted the aircraft to be shot down and launched a missile, or you were weapons safe and did not fire. Which is it?



Major Lambda

If you want to know the intent, just look at the results!

Putin blames “tragic circumstances” for downing of Russian plane

Sep 18, 2018 @ 17:10


Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to tone down his Defense Minister’s harsh condemnation of Israel for “provoking” the downing of the Russian IL-20 aircraft Monday night. Instead, he spoke of “a chain of tragic circumstances,” which led to the plane being shot down by Syrian missile defense while targeting Israeli jets raiding a Syrian/Iranian target in Latakia. In his remarks, the Russian president said that Israel did not shoot the plane down, but the circumstances would be probed in depth. His response would be to boost security for Russian troops stationed in Syria, promising “steps that everyone will notice.” This was taken as pointing to the swift and conspicuous deployment of more advanced air defense systems to the country.

Israel regrets Russian deaths & lost aircraft, holds Syria responsible

Sep 18, 2018 @ 17:19
After a preliminary probe into the downing of a Russian Il-20 and loss of 15 crew members Monday night, the Israeli military issued a statement on Tuesday expressing sorrow for the loss and holding the Assad regime “fully responsible,” along with Iran and Hizballah. The IDF probe found Syrian air defense fire had been random and inaccurate and established that the Israeli jets were back in Israeli air space from Latakia when the Russian plane was shot down.

LMAO, Syria shoots down a Russian Plane and Russia blames Israel for it. The Russians used the excuse that 4 Israeli planes used the Russian plane to hide behind.

15 Russians killed. What say ye?

That's what the Russians get for trusting the Syrians. I'll bet you Putin is drowning his sorrows over a bottle of vodka.
