Some on Twitter speculating just that.

Sacrificing ten others to achieve that is a bit cold mind.

 True but in there line of work you've got to have a few screws loose in that department!

Classic line on the news the UK's security services "thought that it was shot down on purpose"... no shit!

Very pro Ukraine for reference, but makes interesting points.

As you say very pro Ukraine so mostly a worthless POV article with very little merit due to its clear lack of impartiality.

He’s an official advisor to the government and ex MP in the Ukrainian parliament, plus was the subject of a failed asassination by Russian agents.

I would say his partiality is merited.

 

I’ll take his informed opinion (whilst understanding where they come from) over someone sitting in their armchair in Scotland.

So a very biased opinion then? Utterly worthless propaganda from someone with an obvious grudge. 

 

Its hardly an informed opinion, its a (rightly so) hate filled opinion from someone who would not give an honest opinion on Russia if his life depended on it.

 

Im sitting at a Deck in the middle of the North Sea, more of a swivel chair but it does have arm rests so I guess its kind of an armchair.

I had always imagined a oil rig to be a basic place with sticky floors and inhabited by tobacco chewing inbred imbeciles that are the missing link from ape to man! That looks like any normal office! You have just shattered my illusions!

You’ve been watching Armageddon too much. 😁 

 

Norway’s a bit diffident. All Rigs are CyberRigs now so very little hands on and everything is closely monitored, both data and cameras etc. it’s great that I can sip my coffee and keep an eye on the guys on the screens then call them on the radio if they’re doing something wrong.

Pretty much the same here Andy, keeping an eye on things with plenty of coffee. Doing some shallow work on a production semi’s mooring systems. Cracking viz and dive conditions. Steak Saturday too 👍👍
