- isuckatcoding 2y agoBecause certain countries immediately evoke knee jerk reaction. Iran bad. US good. Simple black and white view
- ensignavenger 2y agoMaybe because that incident happened almost 40 years ago?
- lostlogin 2y agoRussia has a military with a lot of equipment that is at least that old. The US shooting down that airliner is also mentioned in that WSJ article that this thread is about.
- ensignavenger 2y agoYeah, it provides some history, and I wouldn't have flagged it personally, even though I don't think it was a particularly good response to the question. But then some one flagged my comment too, so maybe just trolls flagging everything.
