About that Canadian Sniper...

[VA Rifleman]

We had a recent post saying “the Canadian sniper didn’t last 20 minutes”

Here’s a recent article providing a different view and perhaps the source of the post.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wali-alive-despite-russian-disinformation-1.6393191

“Posts on VKontakte, a Russian social media site now known as VK, claimed that Wali had been killed by Russian special forces 20 minutes after he arrived in Mariupol, the southern port city that has been under siege by Russian forces”.

Wali says that Russias disinformation on his death was "amateurish". A lot "amateur disinformation" going on elsewhere to.

Hopefully true, there have been so many fake stories about this war, I am skeptical about everything. Anderson Pooper had a "Ukrainian pilot" on the other day. Either it was a legitimate attempt by CNN to lie, or they got trolled hard. He was wearing what they claimed was a flight helmet, and had a beard.

From limited experience in the 2nd MAW, Billy is right to question the CNN pilot story. A hello pilot might have a beard, but never a fighter pilot. Beards and oxygen masks don’t go together.

Exactly! All those TV SWAT shows my wife and her family love to watch with the tight t-shirts, and scruffy beards make me laugh. Gas masks leaking CS or CN do not a good operation make.

There is so much BS coming from all sides nobody really knows what's actually happening.

Putin is a POS, always has been, always will be. He is blowing the hell outta civilian neighborhoods, and killing innocent men, women, and children.
That I think we can be sure of.

  Plenty of propaganda coming from all sides over there..and fake news only compounds it here..

  I take it with no more than a pinch of salt...

Humans, especially men, believe what they choose to believe, whether or not it is true , too often , is not important to them.

Some of the stories about the actions of Russian troops in the Ukraine, all confirm they do not want to be there but also fully realize they are absolutely hated for being there.
Some do strange things though that sound like drugs, illegal , are being consumed.

I'm pretty much the last person to know about my death.

Good one Wali...a sense of humor when fighting insurrection - one pill to the head at a time.
