Thank you so much for what you do. Watching the 'debates' on Russian TV has been quite an eye opener for me.

The initial test excavations reported in the paper (link in the first sentence) were done in 2024, so unlikely, but they cite this book from 2024 on the wider Baltinglass area.

Nice misdirection with the helmet. I *think* that's Platform 13?

If you remove Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and Russia and Belarus, you get just over 600m.

That 750m figure is a bit funny. The UN definition includes Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, which are south of the Caucasus and therefore not usually included in most current geographic definitions of Europe, plus European parts of Russia and Turkey.

The photo is from Oundle, but I wouldn't say that's in East Anglia?!

The Alaska pics were *amazing* and the Christmas tree the other day was excellent as well. r/crossview are like Jon Snow, they KNOW NOTHING.

Too many high-ranking people (incl ICE commanders and now increasingly the military as well) know they'll be going to jail if the Dems get in.

I'm pretty sure we'll see a coup attempt, possibly as early as the mid-terms. And I don't see any force capable of opposing ICE.

I think you might be right - I've noticed that the buttons and the collar insignia match the Red Army Obr.69 uniform from 1969(!)

PS Uh, when I said that the current cover looked OK, I missed the bleeding Spitfire next to the soldier's right ear! Plus I don't think the Germans ever got within sight of the Eiffel Tower during WW1.

(I wouldn't be surprised if the uniform was wrong as well, not something I know much about.)

If you click on the Amazon link,

the current cover looks OK... but then I thought I'd check using the Web Archive and bingo, back in July 2022 that was indeed the cover they used!

So I thought I'd try and figure out if this was an actual cover or an urban legend.

I found this Reddit thread from three years ago that has a link to an Amazon page -
