And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yeah yeah, the red menace, Boris & Natasha level of geopolitical understanding. I get it, we all believed what the TVs said. Poke the bear, the ukronazi’s are getting what they deserve. Nice plane though eh?
I am pretty sure it was a cargo transport not for passengers. F&#@ing Russians hit it on purpose to demoralize the Ukrainians. Eh, wrong answer. See here: https://tinyurl.com/mvpvj4xc

DeleteBy your logic if someone brakes into your house rapes your wife, kidnaps your children and kills your brothers it is your fault.
DJT's best friend made sure we don't get to see it again.

DeleteAh, the blatherings of the Gibbering Numbnuthatch bird. Swallow the swill and call it cream.
DeleteHopefully someone has the plans so they can make new ones....unlike how they destroyed the blueprints for the Saturn 5.

Antonov has said they are going to rebuild it.

I’ve had the opportunity to see the 124 up close. It was huge. The 225 was a beast.
