    I have no position other than believing its a possibility it wasn’t an assassination. Assuming that’s what you’re referring to, yes I will maintain that position.

      And I am pointing out that you are being technically correct but in practice it isn’t possible to live that way so it serves nothing.

      Anything is possible that isn’t literally impossible. Most things however are so unlikely that even considering them as possible are a waste of time. But what the heck do I know? You could be Napoleon who got a time machine, learned English, came to this year to write this reply, and you can’t respond back because you have to go back to your own time. Presumably to lose at Waterloo.

      It’s possible right? Cool. It is possible for a man in good health in his 40s to get a random antibiotic resistant infection and die just as he was giving evidence against a forrupt military contractor who killed another whistleblower last month.

        Me being Napoleon Bonaparte and a person dying without outside influence are not on the same level of possible. Everyone dies, most without interference. As far as I’m aware, there is no documented case of someone traveling through time to argue on the internet. One might even call that impossible.

          Will it break the timeline if I warn you about invading Russia and instead concentrate on solidifying your rule over the rest of Europe or are you going to do it anyway?
