Publically available data investigative UK company Bellingcat report on what they have found out so far on the Russian 'tourists' GRU officers is interesting and also shows how sloppy their tradecraft is at times. It is going to be interesting on what else they manage to find out as their MH17 report shows, it was considerable.

Nice one, Rods
Perhaps, in future, for the purpose of deflecting accusations of conspiracy theories, you could quote your sources. Whether those sources are considered to be reliable,or not, would down to the opinion of the reader.   
Personally, I think that particular article is on the money.

Not a problem when it comes to sources as I do the same and won't repeat things that are just gossip. Occasionally, I will cite things like the Christopher Steele dossier, but much of that has now been substantiated as they are considered reliable sources. The same applies to most ex-spooks as they are by nature cautious with what they report as they put their professional reputations on the line and are consistently right. The same applies to academic sources.

I like referencing and using charts with a good example being a recent report on Cat 3 and above hurricanes that reach landfall on the US East coast from 1900-2017 from the Americam Meteorological Society, which shows there were many more in the early 20th century compared to now.
