I've contacted Jeanne about re-starting the weekly RV exercises, and she told me to go ahead and organize them.
I don't think I can come up with a good idea every week, though. But I'm sure the community collectively can. So please post in this thread your suggestions, and we'll go for the topic that seems to be getting the most interest.
Please make your suggestions as specific as you can. RV exercises seem to work best with clear places, times and people to look at.
As a fallback option, if there isn't any topic that looks attractive enough, maybe we could RV big cities of the world at some point in the future. What do people think of that?
You have a week to post suggestions, and I'll put up the choice for the RV exercise on Friday 27th.
Maria I've been fascinated with the nerve agent attack that occurred in Salisbury earlier this year. Can we focus on the perpetrators maybe? How would I phrase that best?
Thanks for doing this! No time limit. Let people get into it and we can start other topics as well and they can be ongoing simultaneously.
Copying Laura F's suggestion from the thread on Putin + Trump:
Since it's painful and hard to scan Twitler, I suggest scanning Mattis, Kelly, McConnell. I also think we should ask for some kind of guidance on timing. Lastly, I'd ask that we try our best to tune in at the same time, but with time zones that's also difficult, so maybe a 6 hour period, maybe from 6pm-midnight Eastern US time? Sunday?
After today, perhaps add Dan Coats and Christopher Wray to the list for scanning. Maybe Pompeo too.
And, it would be interesting to see what comes up for Putin.
These are great ideas. I'd like to scan Dan Coats.
Just put up a new RV. Please use this thread for future suggestions. So far we have two spare ones:
- A suggestion from RosieHeart to look at Putin. I didn't want to include him in the current RV because he's a different target from the others.
- A suggestion from Natalie to look at the Novichok poisonings. Even though the case seems to be closed now, it does feel like there are loose threads and it could be a very interesting one to look at.
Any other suggestions, please go ahead and tell us about it.
Any more suggestions for future exercises?
Maria, thank you for posting RV topics. I’m in the middle of a major transition which will last for another 5-6 weeks and haven’t been able to participate. Appreciate all you’re doing and intend to jump back in and respond as soon as I have more time. Warm wishes to you, my friend.
