Come on it’s just a PR stunt to write in the press that the Russians would actually shoot down the US recon plane if it hadn’t fled over Sweden’s airspace.
Or maybe, as djcross says, it was low on fuel and they still used that to pull of a cheap “Putin shot my baby”. Although I think that’s less likely, since the swedes would probably have allowed access to their airspace in the case of an emergency.
In any case, what it shows is the complete disregard of the US military for other countries sovereignty.

hahaha the pilots got scared? Come on, did they really think some Flankers would shoot them down or something?
Would they even take off in the case of a war?

The quality of the media globally is another thing that makes me wonder why the hell humanity as a whole is not revolting against the establishment.
Sometimes I wish V was real.
I think the interweb makes it quite easy (for those really interested to do it), to see through the propaganda of the regime.
I think the days of the interweb as we know it are counted for that same reason.

Not to mention some pictures of Bahrein (or some such place) saying it was actually Libya.

Chasing Nigel Farage?
Actually it has at least 3 allies in the region ran by the more sane Shia governments. Syria got infected because the less sane Sunni governments in the region (Saudi Arabia and Qatar) started ploughing in support to the Syrian rebellion in the form of money, arms, TOW missiles and suicide bombers. The US/EU provided non-military support directly and arms indirectly. It was this support that kept the wounds open, similar to the Libyan intervention, which again has created nothing but a huge mess. Do you not see a pattern here?
Stable Iraq –> US/EU Intervention –> Gone to ****.
Stable Libya –> US/EU Intervention –> Gone to ****.
Stable Syria –> US/EU Support –> Gone to ****.
Stable Ukraine –> US/EU support –> Gone to ****.
Palestine –> US funding of Israel –> Gone to ****.
Aghanistan –> US/EU Intervention –> Gone to ****.So where’s next? Iran? Wouldn’t be the first time. Shah II? Maybe a Pinochet II for Chile perhaps. Or a Montt II for Guatemala.
Strangely enough, protests in Bahrain have been huge but barely covered. We sent in advisers to assist their police.
A little reminder that all those clusterfnebs were planned long ago:

Nice video. It always helps to understand what’s going on when you put this into context a little bit.
A bit more context:

You can state this as often as you like, but that will not make it true. It is your personal belief (supported by no evidence), and nothing more.
He has all the evidence. Only he won’t show it 😉

“they either don’t have evidence at all, or the evidence shows something inconvenient”. This is beginning to smell of conspiracy theory. One of our forum members has a sig line that says something like whenever there are two opposing theories, the truth is somewhere between the two.
This kind of thinking always advantages the liar, since even if people don’t believe his lie, at least they won’t believe the truth either.
Corollary: if you don’t want people to know the truth about something, just pretend the opposite.

Sorry Nic but the RT article linked to on the previous page got there first.
Crap I didn’t watch it.
It seems like a fair assessment considering whatever little is known so far.

& greater cost.
Oh well since I’m being painted as a dirty conspirationist because I don’t believe the nato version, I’m just going to add that it’s pretty convenient to focus all the news on the Ukraine when isreal is invading Gaza.
Now there’s your conspiracy theory :highly_amused:
False flag as in the Ukrainians poking the militia to see what happens (and thus get useful intelligence or sympathy from the rest of the world with no risc for losses at all) or false flag as in it wasnt the militia that fired?
I’d say that it’s much more likely that the event was actually provoked rather than just being a case of bad luck. Now with all the propaganda on both sides, you’d be hard pressed to tell what really happened unless you were there.
Both versions sound pretty plausible, infinitely more so than the “putin did it” jonesy picked up from british newspapers.
