Crimea river...

Serious question, why isn't this dude booted already? Only two scenarios are possible: They are a troll deliberately spreading mis/disinformation They are genuinely this stupid and incapable of engaging in good faith Neither option provides any value, and as has been previously pointed out, their spam posting of links to extremely questionable sources helps boost those sites in the eyes of search algorithms. Allowing them to continue to do so is actively harmful in a broad sense, not just to us poor saps foolish enough to hang out here.

Dr. Edwards, I just wanted to thank you for always sharing the PDF searchable FBI documents.

A close up picture of a Hitler tattoo. No evidence that it is actually displayed by a Ukranian POW. You could probably find many tattoos like that on the internet. Not sure if it is credible coming from the Russians. They wouldn't fake a picture for propaganda purposes would they?

"Ukrainian Azovs have killed about 15,0000 of their fellow countrymen over the last 8 years." Thanks to SC software i don't have to waste my time looking at Troll droppings like that. The defense of the steel mill by the Azov battalion was heralded in Ukraine as heroic. Zelenskyy stated that getting the return of his "brave warriors" from POW status was a priority. Yet trolling Russian propaganda is rewarded by some young fish that rise to the bait. In other news hurrah to Ukrainian SEALs who finally got around to the Kerch bridge. "Part of the crossing, the sole bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia, collapsed into the sea." A train on the bridge is burning and since its likely carrying ammunition. Its looking even better. What a great happy 70th birthday present for Slim's buddy Putin.

Part 1 of that statement is correct. Part 2 is not during an ongoing investigation. And it’s illegal to break into the Capitol. It’s fucking treasonous to do it during a transition of power, especially after all the court cases (many in front of Trump appointees) that had no actual evidence (as opposed to statements) of fraud. And don’t give me the 2000 Mules bullshit. I’m too lazy to go debunking it point by point myself (just as you’re probably too lazy to go proving it point by point — it’s really long, and makes a shit ton of claims). But others have done so, and you know what? I have read a significant part of the debunking, and it holds together, even when held up to external facts and data, so I’ll go with that Data trumps wishes and beliefs sometimes. Not when it comes to feelings (we’ve all loved an idiot at some time or another), but when it comes to significant decisions, data should rule Wendy P.

Because they want to use them. 3 people died in an attack on a legitimate and extremely important strategic target. In the mean time, the civilian death toll from just the most recent Russian drone attack on an apartment building in Zaphorizhia with no military value whatsoever has reached 19. One of those things is sad, the other is a war crime.

Braden and it isn’t even REMOTELY close. To suggest anyone else would be intellectually dishonest. He probably wasn’t Cooper but of the named suspects, he IS the only real answer to your question. As far as being qualified to make the jump, Braden made over 900 free fall jumps with the military, was one of the test jumpers when the Army was inventing HALO jumping, and was chosen by the Army to represent them at International Skydiving competitions, many of which he won. Braden was also chosen by Project DELTA to teach South Vietnamese Special Forces how to jump into wooded and jungle terrain in 1965. Evading capture and escaping? The guy did nighttime jumps with 6 man teams (that he led) into Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and North Vietnam from early 65 until late 66. He would be evading capture and certain death/torture for weeks at a time. Braden was the first guy to ever successfully plant a wire tap in North Vietnam. Again, he likely wasn’t Cooper, but he is the answer to your question. Even if Peca was the only quadruple agent of CIA-Mi6-KGB and Mossad in all of history, Braden still has him beat at this sort of thing.

The other thing here is the deflected attention from Russia’s own government. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded this year in part to an organisation banned by the Kremlin who research and document atrocities throughout the history of the USSR. They were shut down because Putin’s Make Russia Great Again propaganda actively glorifies Josef Stalin and casts Putin as his spiritual successor. Stalin, a dictator and amoral mass murderer of his own people on an even greater scale than Hitler. So even if the above tattoo is true, on the Ukrainian side you have at worst a few Hitler loving soldiers in a nation currently governed by a Jewish man who won a free and fair election. On the Russian side you have a fascist dictator whose entire government worships Stalin - a man of equal evil to Hitler’s own. So who should be ‘liberating’ who?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Gunther Here's some basic background information on him. It was apparently work on an article for True Magazine called Do-It-Yourself Divorce that attracted Cooper/the hoaxer to him. I've never read any of his other works, but he seems to have been a fairly serious journalist. That being said, it couldn't hurt to learn more about him.

So we should be more like Russia? Trump would make us more like Russia? Or are you just sad that leaders here can’t get away with killing off their opponents quite as brazenly as they can in Russia? And you still haven’t given any explanation, even a ridiculous one, for why it’s OK for Russia to invade Ukraine, but not OK for Ukraine to defend itself. Wendy P.

I cannot believe a soldier would be inclined to do raping/looting/pillaging/stampeding when the battlefield is in his own country.

No mean feat considering the skill and determination of even the part time competitors on SC.

Got my Cypres 2 set at 1050 (shows 3 on the display next to the 0). Extra 300' might just help one day....

Fauci is a scientist. I am a scientist. It is pretty clear that you aren't, and don't actually have a clue.

Your profile doesn't say what your experience is, but if you have even the slightest need to ask about it in a forum like this, then you're not ready to do it. Best advice - don't.
