War with Russia

[Ian H]

It is indeed. I'm not sure that the US ever apologised properly for Iran Air Flight 655, or the Soviet Union for Korean Air Lines Flight 007

I've never seen an apology for invading another country and massacring the inhabitants.

You are correct. The USA didn’t and were criticised for it. They did pay out compensation to all the victims families.

What is this obsession people have with formal apologies, and what constitutes a proper apology? None of these incidents have had apologies, so far, but one of the three has resulted in financial reparations/compensation for the families of those killed. Perhaps Russia will make reparations for this one, unlike the previous one.

Except for Japan, you possibly never will. Not from Germany, the US, UK, Russia, Iran, Israel etc. etc. War is always dirty, is not a playground fight, and apologies never mean anything, especially without accountabilityand reparations, and change nothing.

The Dutch govt is claiming €199 million and rising from Russia for the downing of MH17, and expects to receive it. It does not expect an apology. The case is still pending.

... and gave the captain of the ship that shot the plane down a medal.
