It's a slightly different case, but look at what happened last time Russia shot down an airliner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17): the perpetrators weren't exactly judged, but they got "disappeared", which is a form of punishment. For comparison, when the US shot down an airliner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655), the perpetrators... got decorated.

- trasz 5y agoThat American perpetrators got decorated for this is a pretty simple and easily verifiable fact.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoThe cases couldn't be more different... There is no record of an investigation of how the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 got shot down. Whereas the incident with the Iranian airliner almost looks like it was provoked by the Iranian side.
