Irresponsible dictators don't take responsibility for their mistakes. You can't concede in that hardened world of despots. That's a sign of weakness for them.
USA doesn’t do it either. Remember when they shot down Iran Air 655 in 1988 and Bush senior said "I'll never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are."
Not really an apology, I would say. Why not say, considering that the Kremlin statement mentioned the attack by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near Grozny, Mozdok, and Vladikavkaz, that they shot it down?
No, he never did and never will. The crash was thoroughly researched by the government of the Netherlands. The plane was shot by a Russian missile was the conclusion. There was a lot of evidence. In the Netherlands and other countries this crash is still a trauma for everyone who lost someone.
This is a very misleading headline. He didn’t apologize, he just offered his condolences. He essentially said I’m sorry it happened, not I’m sorry we did it, big difference.
Similar to the USA. They shot down Iran Air 655 in 1988 and George H.W Bush famously said "I'll never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are."
I understand not wanting to kill innocent people, but if Putin has made a choice that civilians of foreign countries are legitimate military targets then every Russian civilian should be considered a military target. Putins regime/supporters have to be wiped off the earth
I am sorry but Russia did not kill civilians on purpose. MH 17 and this plane were held for military targets. The putin regime is cruel but they do not shoot deliberately at civilian aircrafts of foreign countries. Revenge is never a solution and does not make the world a better place.
I am talking about civilians. Like in Germany during word war 2 there were also Germans who hated hitler like there are a lot a Russians who hate putin. So there are also innocent Russians
