That was a horrible thing to say, imagine if you had put Muslims of even Africans, and then there would be many on this site condemning your remark, but because you said Russians, it seems the usual suspects are keeping quiet.

AOG

Because he said a nationality would be a target, not an ethnic group. Only you are obsessed with race and shoehorn it into every question and answer.

[jomifl]

AOG, You appear to understand English differently to everybody else on AB. Is it your first language?

Russian is a nationality, but it's also an ethinicity, so why is it that I am wrong?

/// Only you are obsessed with race and shoehorn it into every question and answer. ///

Is one not to mention race when a certain race of people seem to be of less concern to another.

[Gromit]

The question and incident has zilch to do with race.

For your information English is my first language, it is just that I translate it differently to how the left on this site would wish it to be read.

This disgusting statement that you made, can only be translated in one way, especially if one has one once of sensitivity for all those innocent lives among them very many children, who had enjoyed their holiday and were looking forward to returning to Russia, and so be reunited with their loved ones, Russian or not, we have all been there.

As it is now certain that it was a bomb, can we now end this thread?

[Gromit]

// This disgusting statement that you made, can only be translated in one way //

Or two. Jomifl made A perfectly reasonable observation that was not insensitive.

[Gromit]

EDDIE51

The US have said it MAY be a bomb. Nothing has been confirmed either way.

And maybe it wasn't

[anotheoldgit]

Gromit

Obviously that make two who wish to join that "quite a long list".

[EDDIE51]

It was a bomb, that is why flights have been cancelled. Nothing else fits the facts. The US spy satellites detected the' heat signature' of a bomb blast at the exact place and time the plane broke up but did not detect a heat trail of a missile. In any case only a Russian BUK missile has the range to reach FL32 at which the aircraft was flying.

Really AOG, sometimes you try too hard. My statement was perfectly reasonable. If you find it 'disgusting' then the problem is yours not mine. It couldn't be that you are trying to get at me because I challenged your uninformed use of the term 'race' when referring to human diversity?

[Gromit]

EDDIE51,

The initial claim from IS was that they had 'shot down' the Russia plane. But we now know the plan was too high to have been shot down. So now the 'THEORY' has changed to an onboard bomb. All just speculation.

[ichkeria]

The Russians have, since the weekend, started attacking IS targets in Syria with a dedication not previously seen. Raqqa in particular.

[Gromit]

Ich,

Raqqa has been targeted for the past month. The present bombardment started on Thursday, BEFORE the plane was downed.

[ichkeria]

I wasn't suggesting the bombing was as a result of the plane crash.
If anything the opposite
I suspect there is no connection tho.

[ChillDoubt]

Crystal ball a tad cloudier today Gromit?

[DTCwordfan]

I've said it before, If it's a bomb against the Russian aerial assault on Is, then all hell will break loose, Putin is not going to hang around - and I don't blame the Brits and now the Irish and Germans giving a big detour to the area. I also do believe that David C has seen some pretty chilling intelligence as to the bomb origins and also intent on others......

Flatten the ***, Vladimir......

^I think he might.
