It was instantly debunked by security professionals, rather claiming USA, Vietnam, Brazil first and foremost which also sounds like a more probable trio than a state sponsored attack from a country desperate to regain American support.
It was indeed probably rather a group; Dark Storm Team has already claimed responsibility.
Ah, maybe caused Russia haven't fired ~200 drones and missiles today? Now it make sense
If those "unfaithful" countries join NATO this creates problems for Russia to force them to give up their freedom.
And USSR/Russia started a fuss that NATO is a threat for them.
That the crippled plane was diverted to Aktau in the hope it would vanish into the sea weighs heavy in the article. I wonder what the real story is. Because I can't think that this plan was on the operator's mind. I also know I'm too naive sometimes.
they could simply ALLOW to land airplane on they land and hide what happen (similar to what they did with CEO of Total airplane or Polish presedent "accidents").
Plus this might save everyone on the plane, case it might had enough brake fluids and other liquids to make a safe landing.
But no their decided to sink it in the sea to hide any possible proofs.
Am I getting your defenition of freedom correctly or did I miss something?
