So, has HN turned into a political conspiracy theory and propaganda factory to beat the drums towards war? I just don’t see how this is relevant except to egg-on the paranoid InfoWars hobgoblins.

1. People are just learning about this incident 2. It's extremely relevant have you not seen the news?

It has nothing to do with being pro-war or anti-war, it's relevant because it's worth understanding what's going on in our world and the layers of deception from all sides.

Big political news always make it to HN, at least at first. Then they disappear relatively quick. I wouldn't worry about it.

For the record, I've flagged it. And I bet dang/sctb will remove it once they wake up (assuming it makes it that long).

This is a 30 year old story. It’s not big political news.

Are news not supposed to make it on HN? So many Boeing MAX stories have made it to the front page, you wouldn’t think that’s the case at all.
