Discussion: Australian PM Lashes Out At Russia Over Shot Plane

Discussion for article #225231

Asked why he was using harsher language than other world leaders in relation to Russia’s potential culpability, Abbott replied: “This aircraft didn’t come down through accident — it was shot down. It did not crash, it was downed … over territory controlled by Russian-backed rebels.”

I don’t think his language is harsh at all. He’s angry, and righteously so, no need to pussyfoot around and try to be diplomatic.
