Well, Ukraine has shot down a civilian airliner once already, due to gross incompetence of their armed forces, and their president commented that with "shit happens, there are worse tragedies than that" back then.
Well, the US has shot down a civilian airliner once already, and their president commented "I don't care what the facts are. I will never apologize for the US.".
Moral of story: If you shoot down a civilian airliner, there's no such thing as a good comment.
You really think we would be here a year later and nothing would have been done?
Last time this happened, the people responsible for launching the missile at the airliner got decorated. Not for launching the missile, of course, but in general.
Scam would imply this is some kind of fraud or swindle, like a con artist trying to trick you.
Yes. They're tricking you into going to their landing page. Otherwise, you would voluntarily access a page that solely exists to unleash an exploit kit on whoever accesses it.
Current ransomware will just destroy your data. But wait until the crimeware authors switch to "pay us X btc, or we'll make make your online activitiy look like that of a terrorist."

That one condition was not one that would have ever been granted.
And yet, the Allies did everything to deflect blame away from the Emperor and on his subordinates instead when the trial happened, despite being easly able to pin plenty of crimes on him.
What constitutes a war crime is determined by treaty and the customary laws of war.
You've heard about The Hague Invasion Act?
The US has prosecuted its own service members
In general, you have to commit some pretty barbaric atrocities above and beyond the normal scope of the term "war crime" to receive more than a slap on the wrist from your own country. The US is no exception.

there is some evidence that their Navy successfully tested one, before the USA did.
You can't hide nuclear tests all that well. Where and when should this test have taken place?

Nuclear weapons have probably been the best thing ever invented for bringing relative peace to the world.
Every time they get used, there's even a chance of them bringing absolute peace to the world, for a few million years at least.
If the corporation is large enough, it will be held together by gravity, and its movement will be dominated by inertia instead of guidance.
"I know what I'm doing" CEOs offer that in spades.
Unfortunately, CEOs get paid millions regardless of whether they're the "I know what I'm going" or the "I firmly believe I know what I'm doing" type that ends up turning the company into a shadow of its former self.
Unfortunately, this logic (while completely sound), also holds true for anything not ending our civilization.
No, because compared to the age of the universe, our civilization has only existed for a fraction of a blink of an eye. Also, the end of our civilization is fairly insignificant and, in the long run, inevitable.
The micro-black-hole-problem, on the other hand, affects the universe as a whole.
Core catchers? As in the jamming sleeve that stops your core from sliding out of the bottom of the core barrel, after you've cut it?
Kind of, only that the core is several thousand degrees hot, and if it burns through the bottom of the building, the whole incident gets upgraded a few steps on the INES scale.

Which is both a fact and completely useless when trying to figure out who operated the aircraft.
Now, if they found Russian aircraft parts or US missile parts at the crash site, they'd have a story.
I'm all for embedding chips in politician to protect the state... oh, wait ...
If you survive the raid on your house.
Think "swatting", just done for profit and on a larger scale. And these criminals usually don't get caught, unlike the usual revenge swatter.

They did have seismographs in 1945.

Ask a group of random people if they have heard of either Steve.
You usually don't hear about those who are great at tech but bad at business.
The government didn't charge him for the view.

He's saying that if this was likely to happen, it would have happened quite a while ago and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Kind of, only that the core is several thousand degrees hot, and if it burns through the bottom of the building, the whole incident gets upgraded a few steps on the INES scale.
No, more like nuclear bombs. Even if you're outside the zone of blast effects, you'll still receive plenty of undirected thermal radiation.
Sounds like a useful material for building core catchers.
Evidently, this question is common in engineering (see failure mode and effects analysis), but not so much in regulations.
Jupiter. Everything else is "assorted debris that didn't quite make it.".
