We can talk about whatever Current Events you want as long as it stays on topic. This isn't a resource thread, but I want it to be slightly above a lounge thread in terms of content.

There's a pretty good writeup by a pilot on Wired about how he believes the most likely cause was a fire.

orange juche posted:Cool, Grover's name is gone from the OP. CNN has had a really hard time concealing their turgid,throbbing, blue vein pantsbuster over MH370. They have been running with every new batshit theory about the plane, breathlessly reporting it as BREAKING NEWS. Wolf Blitzer stood in front of a green screen and moved his hands around a poorly modeled CGI plane to explain what a transponder is, but all it made me think of was Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles" video. If the segment had been titled "loving Transponders, How Do They Work?" and Blitzer had been spraying Faygo everywhere, it would have fit right in. They've also had some poor bastard reporting from the cockpit of a flight simulator for like the past four days- the amount of poo poo content wrapped up in farcical hyperbole is purely breathtaking and makes TMZ look like the goddamn New York Times. The Aviationist has had some pretty decent written coverage, but man, CNN has just been terrible. Ukraine has barely gotten a mention in the past few days, and Syria has completely fallen off the map.

It's now just an archive. Camera gets ripped off right about here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoLi25S-Kv8&t=1849607s EDIT: The HTML5 version of the video isn't popping to the right time. If you have flashblock like me, you might have to restore it to the flash video in order to hit the right time. It looks like they're about to storm that loving base at the end of the video.

So does anyone else see this realistically turning into an insurgency problem for Russia? Putin just seems to be convinced in playing with the stove until he gets burned, doing all these military exercises just seems like its a matter of time before NATO just gets fed up and shoots something down when it gets too close to the border and goes "whoops we misread the map we thought it was in our airspace"

Well Putin's playing a page out of Reagan's book with a Russian twist He has a pretty powerful nation thats seriously gasping for air, economy is floundering, military is in lovely shape and his nation isn't exactly seen as stable from the outside looking in. So in order to obtain higher confidence of the electorate as well as keeping the rabble rousers heads' down he decided to go out and start flexing like he's in the goddamed WWF He's trying to foster confidence inside the country, a new sense of national pride, while keeping himself seen as a god-father figure who just cares about his people. He's putting highly nationalistic people in to his cabinet and his satellite states while indirectly attacking outside influences that could theoretically cause unrest within his own borders using it as an excuse to invest heavily in to national defense, which in turn makes local industry boom. By directly challenging NATO on poo poo he knows drat well they don't give two shits about, meaning they will avoid confrontation beyond a pissy letter because the US and UK have no intention of stopping Russians in their own backyard, he makes himself look like a strong liberator from foreign oppressors because NATO is "Too afraid" to fight him. Everything he's doing is as smart as can be given his situation, he's not dumb enough to directly attack the Baltics, but the Caspian and Northern Black Sea territories are his playground and he knows drat well he can do anything short of nuking them without receiving any manner of forceful international response because the West see's those areas as already belonging to Russia. Hell, the way he brings his dog out to gently caress with Merkel is a not-at-all subtle nod to the fact he's building off the idea that the West is afraid of him, which just fuels the fire of his supporters.

Gettin' some quick quotes up http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/23/russian-troops-may-invade-ukraine-white-house quote:Russian forces gathering on the border with eastern Ukraine may be poised to invade, the White House warned on Sunday, as the government in Kiev said that the prospect of war with Moscow was continuing to grow after the annexation of Crimea. From elsewhere but presumably same speech quote:In Washington, a top White House aide said it’s possible that Russia could invade eastern Ukraine.

What are the regulations for enlisted members of the armed forces to speak on issues? Can they do it, just not in uniform?

Oxford Comma posted:What are the regulations for enlisted members of the armed forces to speak on issues? Can they do it, just not in uniform? More or less. I think you technically can't say "I'm in the army and I say kill 'em all" type stuff. Basically don't give any indication you're presenting an official or representative view unless you're specifically authorized to. You're still allowed to protest all you want as long as you're not skipping work to do it. That's also what most private businesses have as a policy, and it's also why you're not supposed to march in a parade in uniform except for Vets an Memorial Day, which is (partly) why there was a stink about marching in gay pride parades. Needless to say, if you're junior enlisted and not General MacArthur it's not really enforced unless you're turbo stupid about it. Relevant Army quote (other branches similar) quote:In the Army such activity is proscribed by AR 670-1 Ch. 1-10.j. For officers it's more limiting quote:UCMJ Article 88: “Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.” Snowdens Secret fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Mar 24, 2014 |
