It's reasonable - if they can get a dude that's probably a foot taller and way bigger than the kids out, they've got a chance of getting the kids out.

Not so much "burn him" as he was a test dummy.

Yeah, not taking into account that he's probably bigger, if he's overweight, a smoker, got any kind of lung or heart problems, in pain, or numerous other ailments he's gonna be a big toll on oxygen.

Things that you wouldn't normally attribute to kids.

Good lord if that was an american soccer team they'd have cannibalized a few of them already and agreed to just claim they fell down a mineshaft, but they'd all have died anyway because the rescue divers would have never vented enough oxygen to them in the first place.

The coach was also the one with an infection, which would be consistent with the reports that the weak ones were rescued first, since three other boys had respiratory issues from bird poo poo in the caves or something.

He's a 20-something soccer coach, I really doubt he's a lardball.

CNN is saying he's still in he cave, so I guess news agencies are just using a magic 8-ball as their source for most of this.

The latest news is somewhat believable: The Thai authorities are not releasing the names of those rescued so that there's no unrest in front of the cave where the parents are waiting. They want to avoid aggravating the parents whose kids weren't evacuated first.

This would explain why there are conflicting reports about who got out first, nobody knows and the news agencies are just guessing or reporting rumors.

It is exactly that. When things were less crazy at home, Europe and the US were focusing on getting eastern Europe integrated into their international institutions with some success. Russia's play with exacerbating internal political tensions changes that focus and lets Russia face less blowback for sticking its fingers in Ukraine, etc.

You called it. The Warsaw Pact dissolved with the USSR, leaving Russia basically alone against a unified West. They want to destabilize and fracture the West.
