Why are American religious extremists so profoundly bad at false flag incidents?

I mean, look at this. It's like they can't even plug "what does graffiti look like" into Google. The little curlycues on the ones and the tidy, even script doesn't look like "antifa", it looks like someone with "Live, Laugh, Love" in their bathroom.

And then the "molotov cocktail that failed to ignite" totally doesn't scream "we didn't want to burn our own building down". Nope. Not at all.

Spent the weekend in the Black Rock Desert, getting ready for Burning Man. Our camp stores the vast majority of our equipment in shipping containers out there on a private plot, so that we're not burning tons (literally) of carbon every year to haul it back and forth. We've been doing it this way since 2007. This picture is from Sunday morning; the wife and I went out to enjoy the desolation before coming home. #brc

CW: combat, vulgarity

Purported to be UA vs RU soldiers taunting each other like it's XBox Live.

If this is real, it is more indication that RU soldiers were sent into battle without encrypted comms and are transmitting in the clear.

Note the relatively high morale of the UA soldiers, while the RU soldiers are complaining about not getting reinforcements.

It sounds authentic to me, but everything is suspect right now. Judge for yourself:

A majority - not a plurality, but an outright majority - of Finns now support joining NATO. This is a seismic shift in Finnish public opinion.

Note that the poll was conducted for Finnish Public Broadcasting, not a partisan organization.

The entire thread is gold.
