I kept on repeating for a while …if you put 20 monkeys with sticks in a room …soon or later something will happen.
We have China vs Japan, China vs Philippines and Vietnam (were the first Malaysian plane got shot down), Israel-Gaza, Islamic State vs Middle East (too many to count) and Ukrainian vs Pro Russian Ukraine.
Now sadly another Air Malaysian plane got shot down. And 300 people got lost.
What I do not understand is why they did not close that airspace, specially when 3 days ago an Ukrainian military aircraft got shot down at altitude. Probably too expensive to change route?
In the same day, also, Israel launched a limited ground offensive and even the White House was in lock down for a scare. Worth also mentioning the Islamic State repelled an Iraqi/Iranian offensive against Tikrit and took over another gas/oil field in Syria (not stupid terrorist…they are actually taking over all the water/energy infrastructure.
Fortunately both President Obama and President Putin played very conservative “post event” interviews – maybe they do remember the article attached date 30 June 1914, the day where the heir to the Austrian throne got killed. And sparked World War 1. Thank God for that.
