NEW YORK – When incompetence in the Kremlin turns murderous, its incumbents can begin to tremble. As news of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine trickled into Russia, people with a long memory recalled the Soviet Union’s attack, 31 years ago this September, on Korean Air Lines Flight 007, and its political consequences.
纽约—当克里姆林宫的无能演变为谋杀时，其主人已开始颤抖。当马来西亚航空公司MH17航班坠毁消息传到俄罗斯时，人们想起了31年前的9月苏联对大韩航空007航班的攻击及其所引起的政治后果。
