We have the best mid-air collisions. Noone does it better, or so people tell me. We don't do sleepy silent disappearances over the Bermuda Triangle, that's SAD!! We blow em up, BIGLY, in someone else's airspace. A great PRESIDENT knows how to WIN at mid-air collisions. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Nah. That place is well deserved by Russia. But they have missile - plane collisions :)
Oh yes as if the Great US of A didn't shoot down passenger jets

There's a marked difference between this and the Russian one: the Americans owned their mistake and paid reparations. The Russians denied and keep denying.
Mistakes aren't good, but pretending that you didn't make them adds insult to injury.

Nah you don't understand. When Americans shoot down a plane, it's called "Liberation". You see, by doing so they liberate our souls from this fallen World, which is good!
The major difference being that the US crew got medals for 'meritorious service', including a Navy Commendation Medal and a Legion of Merit. Russia is not quite that ballsy over accidentally butchering civilians.

The US is trying to one-up Russia on that by using another plane as the missile.
