Wonder if the German public will still think moving away from the US and building stronger ties with Russia is a good idea.

That means they had to be tracking it prior to entering the MEZ. There's no excuse for an "accident" like that. It's not like it was some dude with an SA-7 on his shoulder who happens to spot a target nearby and takes advantage. Godholio fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jul 18, 2014 |

Or they could probably just have some of the blondes take their tops off on air, that would probably get better rating tbh.
