--- "...and after a few minutes of Google searching key words and phrases, look at what I found."
Okay. I did that too.
In comment # 31., it is claimed that Jumper posted this, showing edits in bold and underline, and deletions in strike through: "It is already known that in the first four days"One sometimes cribs things, and annotation is the better option.Going to the original post for the thread, as simple to find the text in the OP is easy the check. Start at the top of the page and so the simple search. [ Control + f ] In the OP post it matches none, though Widget places quote around, as if it does.
Another sample -- "we eliminated about a third of their frontline" a phrase appearing in comment # 31 but NOT in the opening post, nor anywhere in the thread excepting that provided by Widget.
When someone makes a paste up of various sources, of course sources can be searched for. So "The Kursk Debacle continues to make itself felt" was searched for through Google.
Here is the result: Google search for "The Kursk Debacle continues to make itself felt." The search yields this Free Republic thread.
Searching for the second sentence: Google search for ""The Kursk Adventure by Ukraine was a suicide attack"
How about towards the end of the article? ""The real problem for the NATO alliance is financial."
Here is the result: Google search for "The real problem for the NATO alliance is financial.." The search yields this Free Republic thread. Only Free Republic.
Placing quotations around a statement tells it is a quote from another source. Seeing that some use it inexpertly -- Jumper and Widget Jr both in this thread -- is less than optimal.
For that and in this thread, I posted some additional "Ukraine" sources. If citing a portion of a sentence from a blogger;s friend in Moscow -- not Khairullin. but some guy who uses the moniker "Zinderneuf" and written last March 19th -- is proof of anything, then here a a number of sources, verifiable and hotlinked to speak to Ukraine in this last week.
In Zelenksy's own words.
"This is copied and pasted from Marat Khairullin's substack, Russia's Plan for 2025."I can see the links on my browser, you can see them on yours.
So how about going to the link for the original that I posted, compare the original to what Jumper posted, and compare the text as I did.
