There it is. Someone running a fake feeder uploaded fake data. No spoofed signals were actually sent over the radio.


I always thought that coverage of those receivers was so dense by now that you'd have multiple reports of each aircraft but apparently that's not the case.


There is overlapping coverage, yes, but the server fuses them into one entry.

No way... wtf?


This is not even a surprise. Trump has been a fan of Putin for years.


The photo was praised by Kirill Dmitriev, one of Russia’s key negotiators

I think it's part of his strategy of getting on Putin's good side.


It may not be a surprise to you but it is a surprise to me because there are many other characters that he could be a fan of , he's literally giving Putin top billing here, right next to a picture of what seems to be him and his granddaughter.

What's next? Pol Pot? Stalin? Kim?



Kim wrote him beautiful letters, in Trump's own words, "and then we fell in love"

I really recommend you read Bob Woodward's four most recent books, starting with Fear[¹] . They give us a fascinating look into Trump's mind, and we get frank discussions from Trump and the people around him about how he not only idolizes strong men like Putin and Kim, but wishes he could be more like them if it weren't for the limits on his power and weak people around him (i.e. more feared/respected by his subordinates, able to command them with an iron fist, etc.).

[¹] The title of the book comes from Trump remarking to Woodward that "Real power is – I don’t even want to use the word – fear."


That word works two ways: it shows that Trump would like to be feared, but he's not, it also shows that he's probably very scared, especially of the people he's sucking up to.


I will show you fear in a handful of dust


He only likes right wing dictators. Even if the left wing dictators behave exactly like right wing dictators.

Because?


Yeah... Putin has many more nukes.


He isn't even at Putin's right hand, that's reserved for Putin's more highly regarded henchmen.
