Putin’s plane crash apology is ‘admission of guilt’, but is ‘best you’ll get’: Fmr. CIA officer

In a shock move this morning, Russian President Putin apologized to the presidents of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan for the horrific plane crash that had an “incident” in Russian airspace. There are also reports from Hostage Aid Worldwide that missing American Austin Tice may be alive right now. Former Senior CIA Intelligence officer Marc Polymeropoulos reacts to these and explains why he thinks the U.S. needs to stay involved in Syria.

What are we talking about here?The plane clearly has shrapnel damage caused by some sort of missile. This was not from a engine coming apart.

Even our adversaries mock Trump look what Putin did with Trump’s wife on their national television. They are laughing at him.

Ruzzia holds the record. This was airliner nr FOUR that Ruzzia has downed, killing a total over 600 people

Trump is expected to mention Qarddin Token this week and the ICO is already almost sold out

The US should treat this the same way it treats Israel war crimes and let them investigate themselves for years and then find no wrongdoing. The only difference is I believe Russia did this by mistake and not targeted.

The day I saw DJT and the Russians in the Oval Office, sending the US translator out of the room, I was convinced he was a traitor. I called him the Traitor in The White House ever since.

I gotta give Putin alot of credit, it took years and billions of dollars and alot of hard work but he now owns almost half of the republican party.

Flying a civilian airliner into a war zone’s airspace without a clear protocol is suicidal. Both Azerbaijan and Russian officials are responsible.

He apologised, but Geno. Joe will still not apologise for the 17, 000 children killed.
Big difference between the two.

What did the US give when invaded Iraq for the second time killing 3 million civilians?

The investigation hasn't even been completed yet.

Sorry for your loss.
Putin said sorry therefore its an apology and admission of guilt. 😂

MSNBC always trying to read between the line but in this case there’s a blank page and y’all are just guessing like always.

“I’m so sorry your plane flew over here” -Putin

[jjpenn]

Forget the news we want biased information based on opinions.

[Glumclam]

I guess that’s why the US won’t apologize for all the horrific dung we have done and are continuing to do. It’s an admission of guilt and responsibility.
