This shows exactly why dismissing something as &quot;victim-blaming&quot; is usually missing the point. You can&#x27;t discuss stupidity of that concept in terms of the most common uses of the phrase, but hopefully people are not as emotionally charged about airplanes getting shot down.<p>Yes, it&#x27;s obviously <i>moral</i> fault of whoever operated that BUK system. But flying over an active warzone where planes have already been shot down shows <i>lack of practical wisdom</i>. So while only one side gets to be called evil, the other side can be justly considered <i>irresponsible</i>.
