I can't see anyone aiming for the neck of a target. Usually the torso or the head are what someone would aim for. The pot where the bullet hit says it's not a professional imho.

Most times it's Occam's razor. I think something CK spoke about will be the shooter's reason. I don't see anything here that makes a conspiracy theory likely.

CK was also literally a sitting target. I've never shot a real gun but I know that logically it's going to be much easier to shoot something human sized and not moving compared to walking or running.

I know where my thoughts went first on hearing that CK was a friend of the president. But an assassin from another country would be unlikely to choose an event like this, they'd normally study the target and their daily life more I think. I think this was done to make a very public point, not...

Is there a thread on here for the subject of DNA testing and pros and cons of each site? I would love to learn more about this (I have done DNA with Ancestry and uploaded to Gedmatch (and ticked to share with LE on there) and MyHeritage, but I want to do more.

It's been an odd year for aviation incidents. But there's been so many in the US, I'm not sure if the rest of the world has had the same very bad year? It really has seemed to get a lot safer over the years compared to the 80s or so. As the aviation incident channels I follow on YT are always...

The nose seemed to be up as if the pilot was trying desperately to keep it in the air rather than attempting to land. Standard practice, I believe, is that they reach a point of no return during take-off where they are supposed to keep going and try to fix any problems once in the air. From...

I love that the effort and energy is going into making a fresh new look. I'm glad that the feedback is being seriously considered. Thank you :)

Yes, but it's kind of one extreme vs another extreme for me. I think some really good suggestions have been made that could help. Even at the bottom of this page in the Similar Threads section the darker blue and grey fonts helps a lot to not make me squint compared to the pale blue.

The light blue with white background is hard on my eyes and makes me squint. Maybe a slightly darker background or cream/off-white or grey with a navy font colour? I do already have the brightness on my screen turned way down due to migraines, so it's not my screen settings making it too...

I think it's true that the US being part of NATO does provide a greater deterrent effect than the rest of the Nato countries minus the US.

I thought the whole point of this was about ending the war and working out the path forward? He does play things in the media, Trump does too. I think this is what's made Zelensky perceived by many people around the world as a good wartime president. Trump is also very good at using this...

Here's a snip of an article on the BBC news website that talks a bit about another European country's anxieties over whether Putin might attack more countries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpv4n0dg3v3o I think it's highly unlikely that Russia would send a missile to Nato country. The...

I can't imagine the US being expected by anyone to rebuild Ukraine by themselves. I'm sure Ukraine has plenty of people who would like to participate in the rebuilding of their own country. I wouldn't expect the US to do that or pay for it out of the goodness of their hearts. Obviously if any...

Thanks for the link and info. So up to now they haven't been a major exporter as it seems they've been producing less than national demand. Perhaps that could change in future. I don't know how much that reserve estimate compares to other countries or exactly where the reserves are located or...
