If they wanted to get involved in the conflict, they could have done it openly through other means, which I honestly believe they would have announced beforehand. Secret operations are risky; if you get caught, the backfire is massive—something they've learned the hard way enough times to know. That’s why they stay public in this war.
Covert sabotage? That's the Russians' playbook, especially in a country that's falling apart where one agency has no idea what the other is doing or why.

Wait, so Russ is sabotaging the pipeline, but they have access to the valves???
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Russ. It feels more like someone just doesn't want them to have any leverage in negotiations, or maybe there's a desperate push to escalate the war against Russia at any cost.

Terry Morales14 said:Why does this even exist—"This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between searches. Please try again in 21 seconds." It's pretty annoying. Any chance this gets fixed one day so the site actually runs faster?

I guess it’s because searching puts too much strain on the database... they probably didn't plan for horizontal scaling early enough.

Seriously though, what kind of criteria is a moderator using to decide what counts as off-topic in a thread about "Conspiracy theory"... and what does "off-topic" even mean at this point?
I mean, if we're going to nitpick everything, then any topic could be considered off-topic—which means they could just lock any thread they want, especially when it involves a "conspiracy theory."

What would even qualify as off-topic in philosophy or sex threads? You'd probably end up getting locked out every other day. It’s just terrible moderation, honestly.

Morgan Peterson said:I have been keeping a close eye on this vaccination poll since the very first discussions regarding the virus surfaced, and honestly, the numbers haven't budged much; it looked almost identical back then, with nearly 70 percent opposed and a timid 30 percent in favor.

Now, considering that the rollout is already well underway—with over 500,233 people having received at least one dose—why would we expect a sudden shift in sentiment here? It might move at a glacial pace, certainly, but eventually, we will reach that targeted 70% threshold, if not surpass it.
After all, people are watching the vaccinated and seeing that nothing catastrophic is happening, which proves that life can actually return to a semblance of normalcy.

In the end, we will be left with only a handful of stubborn, fringe anti-vaxxers, who, frankly, represent nothing more than an insignificant and loud minority.

Those are some pretty dangerous views. Do you ever actually question your own?

Richard Moore53 said:Give me a break. How much worse can things actually get from here? Sure, things could always improve, but looking at how unsustainable the US is right now, I’m not holding my breath for some grand reunification into a new USA. Not that I’d be against it, mind you—honestly, Washington, D.C. never did us dirty quite as much as our own people have.👎

Good grief... maybe try picking up a history book once in a while, because you clearly have no clue what you're talking about.
