Read the twitter post… Let’s see, it’ll be something else next week, you know when it doesn’t happen. Like seriously, look at it, first words are “U.S. intelligence has found the Kremlin is planning a multi-front offensive as soon as early next year”… OK, how? And a series of random satellite photos? Who cares? Can we actually ask the question, in which theatre in the last, lets say, twenty years has Russia ever deployed such a force? It hasn’t… Period.
Congratulations on being so edgy and contrarian. Do you want a medal for that?
You’re not answering the question. Did they directly instigate the protests and therefore these protests weren’t organic and did not reflect the view of the people? Simple question, yes or no. Come on, enlighten us with your great wisdom.
Organic? What does that mean? The “view of the people”? You have the US SoS (EU) literally constantly visiting the region before hand, socialising with neo-nazis, boosting of five billion in “aid” via the usual channels (how’d HK work out?)… Were they involved? Of course they where!
The satellite photos are not random and they mean something to people who study troop movements.

You’re again ignoring the question here. I thought I could have learned something from this, but this is nothing more than ramblings from conspiracy theory bullshit babble.
Yeah but… USA BAD THE WEST BAD MOTHER RUSSIA GOOD
Makes a change from ‘the whole fucking lot are bad’ I suppose. 
Different tune same bullshit. I always enjoy posts by @Magnus because even if they do go on and on sometimes at least they are for the post part well-reasoned and backed up with evidence. On the other hand, posts like that one…

I decided to start with a clean slate at TAN but no, football.tiger has earned back his place on my ignore list. Never engages in good faith.
Huh I did… So you think they played no part? As for your other comments I couldn’t give a fuck.

Lol, notorious German Tabloid, Bildt, has telepathically stolen the secrets of the Russian general staff as well as downloaded the information inside Putin and his inner circle’s minds:
Absolute guess work !!!
Trouble from Russia (that’s some serious trouble mind you) and trouble internally in Ukraine (also damn serious if the Ukrainian Pro-war/Nationalist faction grows large enough).
A warning from Lavrov:
That’s hopefully it for today. I’ll have to edit this post otherwise, since i hit the 4 post limit.
Hmmm:
On a different note from the serious discussions above, here is something completely different.
The critters are in individual and or separate containers. I originally imagined that they are all mingling without barriers in a single suitcase and waiting for the suitcase to accidentally popped open on the conveyor belt.

Its quite normal that panchromatic images are used as they are without introducing the NIR or colour bands (pan-sharpened) as they are often the highest resolution bands in a satellite image - at least they are in DG’s satellites - and there is no post-processing to do so its usually the quick and dirty option. I know I would be using panchros if I was after the finest detail possible. Those polygons are simply a vector overlay ontop of the panchros.

Thats not the solution. They need to make sure vulnerable children where abuse is suspected are not just left alone. A society that responds with more care and support not violent retribution. These sorts of horrors are far less likely to occur in fairer more egalitarian societies than those with right wing values, punitive law and order and large sections of broken society. Margaret Thatcher policies made (and continue to make) the problems worse, don’t make the mistake that a Priti Patel death penalty policy would help.
It might not be the solution to stopping these sort of crimes in the first place but that’s another argument. These two are clearly a pair of evil bastards and would be regardless of whatever sort of society they inhabited, they didn’t appear to be particularly badly off or even alcohol/drug abusers. Some people are just that way inclined.
I don’t see any point in keeping scum like these alive, imo the money would be better spent elsewhere. Plus it may to an extent act as a deterrent to others knowing if they abuse and murder their children they’ll end up on the end of a rope.

The answer is that in order to build a robust capital punishments system, it often costs more than a life sentence, usually down to the fact that you want to make sure those you condemn to these punishments are 100% guilty. You therefore need to have a comprehensive system of appeals to ensure that no mistake was made in the whole judicial process. Otherwise, you end up executing innocent people instead. Once you add in all the costs of that, best to just chuck them in prison, really.
Also, deterrence isn’t as strong as you think it is.
