It might be news to you, but rebels don't have to give a flying fuck about preserving any evidence.
They do if they don´t want to look guilty. And it might be news to YOU, but suspects of a crime destroying evidence is a tacit admission of guilt.
You claimed deliberate destruction of evidence, you failed to make your case, there was no deliberate destruction. It was what I said it was.
Utter fucking bullshit. It makes absolutely zero sense for them to be destroying parts of the wreckage to do a ´search´. That is not the sort of thing that people who are being suspected of shooting it the fuck down, do. You don´t cut into the cockpit and the parts with weapon holes on it in order to search for bodies or hidden weapons. What, did the rebels think it possible that bodies had magically teleported into the fuselage? And if this is what they were doing, then why did they refuse to tell the OSCE observers ANYTHING, and instead forced them away from the wreckage when the observers were asking these questions? There is only one plausible reason for them to do what they did, and that´s destroying the evidence.
Incidentally, it is outrageously ironic for you to complain that I haven´t made my case even though I have given you a number of logical arguments why they wouldn´t cut into those parts of the wreck unless they were trying to hide their involvement, whereas you yourself have done nothing more than claim the opposite without even the slightest resemblance of an actual argument. Hypocrite much?
Furthermore, short of grinding the whole frame into dust it's not possible to destroy evidence of Buk shot.
Hahaha, oh that´s rich. Of course it´s fucking possible, it´s certainly possible to TRY. I hardly think the rebels are smart and educated enough to do a particularly good job (which is of course why they were caught doing it), but to say that it is impossible to hide evidence of the weapon´s impact without grinding the entire frame is flat out absurd. You obviously only need to adjust the parts with shrapnel holes in it, NOT the entire fuselage. You don´t even need to grind those specific parts down, just adjust the size and cartilege of the holes. Duh.
And in fact unless you know what you are doing it's not possible to destroy the evidence in any other cases.
So now you´ve gone from trying to deny their tampering with evidence entirely (even though it has been observed by the OSCE observers first hand, but whatever), to trying to imply that they couldn´t possible be trying to destroy the evidence because... they´re too stupid to know how to do it properly. Is that right? Is that REALLY your argument now?
The only piece which can be reliably destroyed is black boxes,
Riiight... the only piece of a plane that can provide evidence of what happened which can also be destroyed is the one piece deliberately designed to be as indestructable as possible. One wonders how the plane was shot down to begin with since apparantly its made completely out of indestructable adamantium.
and despite your stupid proclamation black boxes are intact and safe in the hands of independent investigators,
Black boxes will also contain the least incriminating evidence, which surely even the rebels know. They´re not worried that anybody´s going to listen to the pilot as he gets killed by something he never saw coming, they´re worried people are going to be able to match the holes in parts of the fuselage with their weapons.
In the end, no evidence were destroyed, and there were no such intent.
I am not going to discuss your stupid garbage any more!
I´ll take that as a tacit admission of defeat on your part.
