JFK Assassination Forum

Of course, if OSWALD HIMSELF really didn't care if he was caught or killed, then the TSBD6 and the LN narrative works fine.

Is this the Oswald that Frazier said was good with kids and who had just become a father of his second daughter?

I have warned my wife since the beginning of the war not to become caught up in the sort of wishful thinking we see here. There is a real danger that Russia will destroy Ukraine if the situation becomes sufficiently desperate. "Military Ukraine" against "military Russia" is a dangerous and ultimately losing game if Russia goes nuclear. I say this as someone who has supported Ukraine to the tune of thousands of dollars (or at least Revived Soldiers Ukraine, https://www.rsukraine.org). Now is the time for a serious push for peace, but we don't see it from the U.S. or EU. This is from Fabian Hoffman, an acknowledged missile industry expert: "Assessments that Russia’s nuclear warheads have turned into a paper tiger appear unwarranted and unwise ... Those who argue that Russia no longer maintains a functioning deterrent are extrapolating from limited information, and such claims are not justified." https://missilematters.substack.com/p/the-state-and-viability-of-russias. I have said before that I believe The Donald actually cares precisely nothing about Ukraine, and I've seen nothing lately to change my opinion; at best, the fate of Ukraine is very low on his list of priorities.

I don't think anyone other than Oswald would choose TSBD6. It just has way too many risks associated with it. For that matter, I've expressed puzzlement that Oswald would choose it. It was the lunch hour, the M-C was nicely wrapped as curtain rods, no one paid any attention to Oswald anyway, and he could have easily decamped to a much more plausible location like the roof of the Dal-Tex or County Records building. Oswald and his M-C on TSBD6 makes sense if he was a dupe and was somehow (how?) induced to shoot from this unlikely location, with the conspirators (e.g., Mafia) not caring if he was caught or killed because he knew nothing anyway except that he was part of a pro-Castro plot. If he got lucky and killed JFK, that would be the end of the matter. However, because TSBD6 was highly risky and Oswald and his M-C were marginally reliable at best, a pro was stationed on the roof of the Dal-Tex or County Records building if needed (as he was). Either of those locations was essentially risk-free for a pro dressed like a businessman with a briefcase assassination rifle. In this scenario, Dealey Plaza really wasn't a bad assassination scene. I think this scenario makes near-perfect sense; the challenge is filling in the blanks with something resembling evidence, as John Orr is at least trying to do. If one doesn't like the Mafia scenario, an anti-Cuban pro works just as well.

Of course, if OSWALD HIMSELF really didn't care if he was caught or killed, then the TSBD6 and the LN narrative works fine.

It's rumored 75% or more of their nuclear arsenal isn't functionable.
