They'll blame it on Canada-backed rebels from the People's Republic of Vermont.

oops. Wrong war

They're going to try and blame it on Russian Irano-Chinese MS-13 terrorists though. The fake evidence will be ridiculously amateurish and every mainstream media outlet will eat it up uncritically.

I don’t think that the people will want to do this will think to compensate for the distance away the plane is and the speed that it’s flying at.
