The Maori went to New Zealand a few generations before the English, they came across a society that was Agrarian, no interest in war.
It didn't work out well.
Why would you say that
I spoke with a follower of Mick Wallace. The follower is anti-everything. He said that I was war-mongering by stating that we should support the Ukrainians to fight back. He said that war is never justified, as it leads to the bloodshed of the innocents. I asked him his view on the Allies defeating the Nazis. He said that war is never justified. I have been too disgusted to speak with him since. He is the kind of person who speaks about what a good person he is. But when push comes to shove, he is unbelievably selfish in every domain of his life.
North Korea/Russia
Because out of the very positive aspects of various peace movements there also came the notion that war is never justified. And lord knows there have been enough proxy wars and land grabs like this one, but sometimes the only solution to idiots willy waving with guns is to put non idiots with guns between them, or making sure they put the guns down.
A lot of Russian planes taking off apparently, might be a long night for the Ukrainians
It does demonstrate how dangerous a single person can be to a government and how careful we have to be when seeking to install an anti-establishment candidate
Yep we would. For all thier faults and they have more than enough in their history, today they're a democratic European nation and while ground troops would be in play in such a scenario I'd be beyond shocked if they started throwing nukes around. I can't recall them threatening the Scotish nationalists with nukes or a 'peacekeeping mission'.
It was good of the Russians to give the Ukranians time to get anti aircraft facilities in place. Hopefully they will do serious damage to the invaders.
I just offered a room on the Red Cross. Jesus it brings home just how **** awful this situation is and I also haven't a clue how I plan to set my limits on my empathy in a world with endless suffering but I have to do something.
It's the aloof arrogance of it.
They will fight valiantly and hopefully the weapons from the West will bolster their defence
I suspect he's broke and he's taking Putin's coin to read from a script.
This might be a long night for Ukrainians
China has over 50% of global grain reserves.
The rest of the world used have grain stores years ago.
Front page of the New York Times not **** around (graphic)
That's the problem, no matter what evidence is presented, if you only see it as fake then you'll never be convinced.
The irony! War and militarism is not a solution to conflict. Why doesn't she tell that to the Puke Tin.
Incredible footage of Ukrainians taking out armor with anti-tank weapons
The thing with a withdrawal by the Russians is that I would not put it past them to leave the Ukrainians a few presents on the way out.
Really, the Chinese are the only ones who can broker peace here.
He is hitting 70. He might not be as sharp as he used to be. He is drunk on his power. I doubt that there is many people in his inner circle willing to contradict him.
But I think that his sole objective now, win or lose, is to reestablish the Soviet Union. These ideologues don’t care the price (our plebeian blood is meaningless in their eyes or a price worth paying). The end justifies the means
It's a good job we got out from under the English boot when we did. We wouldn't have a hope today.
Seen him quoted multiple times here, then surprise, surprise turns out he has all these whacky notions
The Russians are fighting for a pyrrhic victory. They will never have legitimacy in Ukraine. And that is rule number one for occupying a country
It takes us back to the idea that he gambled by invading Ukraine but the gamble blew up in his face. Analysts are convinced he thought he could take Ukraine in 2-3 days and have the Russian flag flying over Kyiv by last weekend.
Russia surrenders and leaves ukraine permanently ,
Peace it's that easy
Countries have grain stores. If Russian were to stop exporting to Egypt and Turkey, then they'll have to use grain stores while they switch to other producers, prices will rise, more farmers will switch crop to compensate, etc.
Premium or not, he had to move out of Dublin to keep his head above water. And now, petrol prices are spiralling.
I am sorry, I digress
He'll vanish.
Unfortunately this pic was staged.
There was an article about it and other fakes.
