most of those posting here are, in fact, not informed past whatever the media has told them. — Book273
Also it is Maple Syrup. Not marple. Just letting you know. — Book273
Don't assume that, because you are ignorant, everybody else must be ignorant. — Olivier5
You claim to have better information than I do, yet, so far, have not been able to explain the discrepancies I have noticed. Either you are unable to do so, are unwilling to do so, or are unwilling to even look to confirm or disprove my observations.

I am not actually sure what is going on in Ukraine. — Book273
Which is odd, as with your purported background you should be in an ideal position to do so. Ergo, either you are not what you claim, you cannot provide the requested answers because they do not exist, or you are aware that I am correct in my general assumptions. — Book273
Yeah, this seems to be a common theme here. I don't know anything, I don't believe anyone, I don't give a fuck, but I am going to bloviate at length anyway... — SophistiCat
I saw the latest pictures of the theatre that was bombed in Ukraine. No one fleeing the building, no bodies visible, no blood spatter, no one injured. — Book273
