Nothing has changed.
The same facism that controlled crowds during Bill Clintoon’s campaign stops is in full op during the Hill’s stops.
All of these screeching Hillary adds should be put into campaign adds.
You were not really seeing Sputnik. The Russian engineers, interviewed on the anniversary, said you saw the second stage of the rocket. It was what was visible. I thought that pretty interesting.
Well thre’s our answer. Just send in people to ask questions and watch her go into her rant and screech act and some of the stupid people in the U.S. will see what she really is all about.
She’s actually running for the wrong office. I seriously think she could beat Putin if she ran for President in Russia.
She’s made to order for your average Russian voter. Tough as nails, not at all squeamish about assassinating anyone who gets in the way, and has nothing but contempt for the average citizen, businesses, etc.
In fact, I think Putin wouldn’t make it to election day if she could really take the gloves off like she could over there.
Better put the video on You-Tube or somewhere, or it will never be seen.
Sputnik could, too, be seen by the naked eye. Satellites shine with either the moon or sun on them. You’d only see the rocket flare while it was putting the satellite into orbit. Then it separates from the satellite and, as it loses its orbit, eventually disintegrates in the atmosphere.
Thanks for your response.
I don’t know how to explain this to you any better, as you seem to have some misconceptions about the facts.
Notice that other posters have indicated that even the Russians stated that the satellite itself was not visible from Earth’s surface.
It was the Second Stage Booster, which was seen. And the moon reflects the sun’s light, which does not provide enough illumination to make objects visible from Earth.
There are other threads on this same subject (Sputnik) and they confirm what I stated.
Sputnik was only in orbit for a few weeks, even though some think it is still ‘up there’.
I hope you take enough time to research this subject so you will know the truth for yourself.
