(4,277 posts)1. I have both of these guys bookmarked and read their tweets and then all comments each day
I would hesitate to say the words "I am doing my own research" by reading them daily.
I am just reading their take on each day(s) events in the war...
And the comments add a LOT of info...

(3,319 posts)4. i'd like to see evidence of an invading force mobilizing thousands of tons of concrete and gravel.
it's not very practical to move concrete and rock hundreds of miles. the invading forces would likely be counting on acquiring those resources locally after a successful initial invasion. the effort and resources to deploy a temporary floating bridge vs. building a semi permanent bridge as shown are orders of magnitude different.
