That reminds me, are you still holding BA? Didn't you get in it at $288, if I recall correctly?

Every time BA is in the news, which seems to be a LOT these days, I think about you...

I was asking that rhetorically, flybys have been a regular occurrence between Russia and NATO member states for a decade now. They picked up in intensity in 2014 and have been a yearly issue, requiring NATO allies to respond several hundred times per year. In 2020, the number quoted by one official was 400.

If this is an argument for an escalation, I don't buy it.

There was one recent massive escalation on the part of NATO, as Germany released its first defense report ever on their state of military readiness as well as their future plans and projections. The spending patterns of the Alliance shows one thing that I've repeatedly said, that regardless of the battlefield result in Ukraine, the region is going to serve as a major geopolitical flashpoint for the next several decades. Again, all parties involved are preparing for one thing, and it isn't one which, in my view, involves a negotiated settlement in Ukraine. That in of itself is more demonstrative about the potential for serious peace talks in the immediate future.

Okay little brother. I read your research, in good faith and you cover a lot of ground, starting in 1880. By the way, I refer to you as little brother because I probably have socks that are older than you. Then again, I have no idea how old you are. You present a lot of info here and I see the words circumstantial and details that were in a New Yorker magazine article and much more, that I don't feel its necessary for me to respond to each point.

Do you have a primary source for this material? I ask because it seems so "Steele Dossier ish". But whatever, lets address the claim that Boris Berezovsky was Putin's rival. Don't believe that to be the case since Boris was involved in some high stakes and highly visible shenanigans, (crime). Look up the "Faces in the Snow" incident, for one. Secondly, there, is Paul Klebnikov, who HAD a Ph.D in Russian history and wrote the book "God Father of the Kremlin". That book was primarily about Boris. Unfortunately, he was shot four times in Moscow while leaving work and then died in the hospital after getting stuck on an elevator.

Anyway, there is so much more, including the "possibility" of them smuggling these materials out Israel, (crazy as that sounds), and Litvinenko and his buddies might simply have been "Mules", smuggling this material and accidently poisoned themselves. Who really knows? I have already spent more time responding, specifically to you, than I normally would with anyone.

So, since I can be lazy about typing this much on something I am not all that interested in and knowing your MO, it won't make much difference anyway, can we please just leave it at that?

Because bottom line "we", "US" cannot definitively say, for certain that Putin killed the dude.

Okay?

If that’s one of your biggest questions then I believe you need some real problems.

There is a multitude of primary sources released in on this, including court documents, physics papers and interviews. There is no convenient dossier for you though.

This was definitely how Berezovsky was referred to in the Western Press.

Again, if you had any familiarity with the evidence, which I think becomes less likely the more you type, you would know why this is ruled out. Secondly, for what purpose would they be smuggling polonium to London? Third, this doesn’t fit in with the actual pattern of evidence.

There are other rebuttals to be made here, but I think they are likely above your paygrade.

Then why did you ask? Like I suspected originally, you are just acting in bad-faith and actually don’t care about the words you use or the claims you make. That’s fine by me, but I’ll just treat you like the massive incurious idiot that I suspected you were.

Yeah, again, within the context of this ongoing frozen conflict with Russia, it is not a meaningful piece of evidence.

Sorry I wasted my time with you.

My "paygrade"?

I had a security clearance that allowed me to work at most of our National Labs, with real professionals, doing work you can only fantasize about.

Including a tour of the open pit at the Hanford Site that held all of our old reactors, So, the Russians could see them from space.

I've lectured at Berkley.

I was chairman of an EFCOG Subcommittee.

A member of the HPI Core Committee at Los Alamos.

So up yours bud!!!

Now we are back to.



You are truly a classless piece of shite that brought this whole respectful thread down and caused me to lose my cool.

So, AGAIN!!!



And just in case that isn't clear.

frick YOU!!!
