Russian government changing Wikipedia entry on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

A Twitter bot that reports any Wikipedia edits made from Russian government locations found entry on MH17 was changed from ‘shot down by terrorists’ to ‘shot down by Ukrainian soldiers.’

It's interesting reading what the Russian press is saying about the shot down.  One story had the Ukrainians shooting it down because they thought it was Vladimir Putin's plane.

From another forum:

"Disinformation, the source for that story was RT, essentially Putin news service. Putin plane does not overfly the Ukraine for obvious reasons.

The theory accompanying the photos would be that the Ukranians shot it down -- not separatists. Highly unlikely in any event.

Yes, highly unlikely to the point ludicrous. By doing that the Ukrainians would ensure immediate invasion by massive russian armor formations, and would remove most of their international support which might have deterred said invasion. Game Over...especially for the leadership who made the decision.

Nobody is that stupid. That would be like the Canada trying to shoot down AF one but make it look like Mexico did it"

You are delusional.

In your world perhaps!

Looks like the rebel leader had tweeted boasting of shooting down a cargo plane. Ooops!

You are delusional.

Anal Alert: I'm going to outline a conspiracy that is coincidental.

I didn't state that my observation was a fact!

Oh yeah, I'm the one who's delusional...

Hopefully the US never shoots down a civilian airliner in a war zone.  That would be a shame.  I wonder if FOX will call us terrorists were that to happen.  I guess we have been very lucky so far huh?
 
So,, does the same standard hold for the US?  Are we terrorists for shooting down a civilian airliner down in a war zone?

 
In 1988, the U.S. Navy ship Vincennes shot down an Iranian civilian flight, Iran Air 655, killing all 290 passengers and crew on board.

Ukraine admits it shot down Russian airliner

Ukraine finally admitted yesterday that its military shot down a Russian airliner that crashed into the Black Sea last week, killing all 78 passengers and crew.


Evhen Marchuk, the chairman of Ukraine's security council, conceded that the plane had probably been brought down by "an accidental hit from an S-200 rocket fired during exercises".

I think that proves the opposite of what you intended.  if anything it probably made the Ukrainian air defense forces extra careful about launching a SAM.
 
To quote Putin on this tragic accident "But the weapons used in those exercises had such characteristics that make it impossible for them to reach the air corridor through which the plane was moving."   Putin was dismissive of American claims that it had been accidentally shot down.

you are talking about two different things 

 

[777 fixer]

Compare that to how Reagan responded with KAL 007. There were people who expected we'd be in a real shooting war over that one.

 
Reagan's actual response and the one being talked about on Fox and talk radio are two different things.

War is not the answer but Russia and its terror group rebals sure need to be brought to justice over the downing of MH 17   May those 298 victims RIP
