Did a mean video cause the #MH17 shootdown? Or was it climate change? I think we totally need to reset this. #caring

Still looking for the relevance of that comparison..?

Obama makes a 40-second mention-Malaysian plane crash feared to have killed Americans before his jokey 16-minute speech

@AmbassadorPower

So, are you trying to say something should be done about it, or that Americans should stop whining about 9/11?

Replying to

@AmbassadorPower

. But will the response be same from Dutch as of Americans after 9/11 towards the culprits? Worth thinking

Your math is bad, and it is a ridiculous correlation unless it turns out #MH17 was shot down by #Islamist #terrorists.

@AmbassadorPower

The bad math aside, the only correct #MH17 correlation to 9/11 is indiscriminate mass murder.

The anti Russian propaganda is intense today. We all know this is a tragedy. No need for the rhetoric.

No need to compare everything to 9/11.
