#1 Does that not go against Geneva Convention requirements?

Noticed that too, but the lawyer in chief didn't earmark that for public consumption. Pointing it out is too aggressive I'd guess, brackets to fill and all.

#2 Why no insignia? Cold WX gear covering it up? Best excuse. They are not military, they are police, contractors, DHS, KGB, or some other agency that does not fall under the Geneva code. Badges? We don't need... You know the rest.

#3 "See photos here" - linky brings me to a page with Bill Murray and Nicole Ritchie (?!).

Here's a link to some "selfies" that will cost some Cossack wanna-be some time digging latrines, though: <LINK>

Fixed. Sorry for the delay, but at least it will work for those perusing the archives.

#4 Speaking of uniforms, here at the buffalo airport this morning are at least 2 guys in khaki cargo pants black t shirts with 'Department of Homeland Security POLICE' across the back with automatics strapped to the hip. First time I have seen this. Anybody else seen these?

#5 Speaking of these badges, Geneva Conventions, etc. anyone know where I can get a copy of that "International Law" to which our president repeatedly refers?

#7 There was some going back and forth here about who were the fascists in the Ukraine. Jim Hoft found a diamond of a pic. It shows three masked vigilantes, one has a huge swastika on his chest and his buddy on the left has a hoodie that says, "I'm am Russian."

What's funny as hell, it was a Russian backed thinktank who published the pic to twitter. Doh!
