ON UKRAINE

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which has worked with great effect to rebuild civil society in today’s Ukraine, has asked its fellow Catholics for prayerful support. That courageous church deserves nothing less and indeed is owed much more: and not just by Ukrainians.
The godless psychopathic total state will simultaneously reserve the right to kill you, and to keep you alive no matter what it has to do to you.
And then after it tortures you and everyone who ever loved you, you die a few weeks later anyway.
This is facism proposed by Andrews is it not?
Via twitter, a fairfax journo says there are 3 ambulances at Clive’s house.

Let them hate, so long as they fear.
(Often spuriously attributed to Tiberius, but it was Caligula’s motto. I believe he took it from a play.)
In breaking news from the Oz:
Vladimir Putin has declared war on Ukraine in what the Kremlin has called a “special military operation”, warning foreign nations to keep out of the way or endure “consequences as [they] have never experienced”.
and in totally unrelated news:
Billionaire Clive Palmer and his wife have been taken by ambulance to a Gold Coast hospital by ambulance with Covid-like symptoms just days after illness forced him to cancel a high-profile speech, The Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
Three ambulances arrived at Mr Palmer’s mansion on the Sovereign Islands just before noon and took both he and his wife Annastacia to Pindara Hospital.
Three ambulances? Three! Obviously one for Cloive; one for Mrs Cloive, and one for The Wallet.

Clive and his wife?
They can’t have had simultaneous severe attacks, surely.
Also surprised he authorised it being announced as Covid given his party’s central policy – mandatory vaccine would (in the minds of many) have spared him this.
Is this the Canada you want to live in?
Fun fact.
The fee that the Ukraine receives for letting Russian gas transit across the country is volume & price based.
Considering the volumes haven’t change but the price has, Ukraine is making some serious bank at the moment.

Peter FitzSimons has lashed out at Scott Morrison for backing a new push to prevent women who were born male from playing female sport.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister threw his support behind Liberal senator Claire Chandler’s proposed law to prevent women’s clubs from being sued for excluding a trans player to reduce the risk of injury and unfair competition.
‘I support it, I think it is a terrific bill and I’ve given her great encouragement,’ he said alongside the Tasmanian senator in Trianbunna on Tuesday.
In FitzSimons probing Wednesday column, he accused the coalition of drumming up a divisive pre-election debate, pointing out that this bill hasn’t actually been requested by anybody from within a major sporting body
‘For me, Prime Minister Morrison and Senator Chandler’s move feels much like the ludicrous Religious Discrimination bill did – throwing red meat to their political base to fire them up, rather than actually setting out to solve a serious problem.’
Daily Mail
Paywallian (30 minutes ago):
Billionaire Clive Palmer has been rushed to hospital in an ambulance after displaying Covid-19 symptoms.
CBA, the biggest (?), has surreptitiously removed all its ATMs in the cbd except for the ones in the main city office, meaning, for one, that cash is restricted. Further significance yet to be fathomed.
I might not be a fan of Clive politically, but I hope he’s okay and he gets through this.
Do you think he “authorised it”? In QLD covid mania nurses and “healthcare” officials background, and make up complete lies to the media about patients in hospital with barely contained glee when they don’t like them.
About 6 years ago I was in the short haul international departure lounge at Johannesburg airport. Maybe 6 gates.
A 12-13 year old boy was flying a drone up and down the length of the hall. No one paid it any heed at all.
I suppose that’s a mark of a third world country.
One of the BOM interactive forward prediction ISO charts of about five days ago featured a TC that BOM was hoping would develop over the Kimberley.
Since removed, it contained a typo central pressure of 942 mb. That would suck even more than BOM.
War I say war is declared in Ukraine.
The Religious Discrimination Bill was not “ludicrous”. Only to people like Bandanaman.
Red meat to fire people up? Of course Fitzy never does that every single Australia Day.
Setting out to solve a problem – Mr and Mrs Bandana have a daughter. I want to see her compete against a cock and balled boy who thinks he’s a girl.
Girls’ rugby might be a good start, or maybe even hockey or soccer.
Then let’s see what the goon thinks.
That will be going into Putins bank from today.
“In FitzSimons probing Wednesday column, he accused the coalition of drumming up a divisive pre-election debate, pointing out that this bill hasn’t actually been requested by anybody from within a major sporting body
‘For me, Prime Minister Morrison and Senator Chandler’s move feels much like the ludicrous Religious Discrimination bill did – throwing red meat to their political base to fire them up, rather than actually setting out to solve a serious problem.’”
Fitzsimian, always the fool, rather play the politics by smearing and mocking the PM. You have to wonder what’s his answer is to this “serious problem”? Allowing biological men to compete against biological women…meaning women’s sport will disappear overnight (it’s happening in the US). We saw what that all round cheat and MALE “Lia Thomas” did the other day when HE won the race 7 seconds ahead of the biological woman who ran second.
Highly recommended reading.

All those blokes in skirts will soon be prevented from knocking over women in sport or using their male musculature to steal swimming victories.
Good thing too.
Rosie Batty has made a better career off the back of wielding the willow than most Grade cricketers.

More importantly the News Flash didn’t affect the airing of the pommie The Chase.
Perhaps. Happily he has the resources to track down the person who released medical information if that was what happened.
And to further keep things in perspective a generous Government has issued both the missus and myself a lifetime supply of RATs. Four each.
I’ve never understood this argument. Businesses, particularly the medium to large enterprises, had the wherewithal to resist state governments and say they would not cooperate with any vaxx mandate either as right of entry or right to work. And I have no problem with people demanding this of these same businesses especially if they have been or are customers.

It’s a nice thought but QLD doesn’t seem to work like that Mother Lode.

Australia’s best political reporter Simon Benson pointed out in this morning’s Paywallian that Ukraine has totally changed the federal election campaign.
A foreign war in which Australia has an alliance interest in siding with the USA kills kung flu as Australia’s most dominant political issue and makes Scott Morrison a de facto wartime prime minister.
It’s manna from heaven for Morrison and a nightmare from hell for Albo and Labor. Morrison’s non-existent and duplicitous lack of national leadership on kung flu has been buried as an election issue by a foreign war.
Morrison will attempt to spend the next two months trying to sound like Winston Churchill.
Perhaps his missus could still swing a puff piece at New Idea for Pirate Peta if he lopped off the meat and two veg to resume his rugby career rudely interrupted by the French.
Simples.
The World Economic Forum and all the arrayed Economists, bureaucrats, NGOs and CEOs are not Commerce.
If the money does not move, everything they leech off dies.
Who makes the money move? Little people like us, buying, selling, eating, drinking, shitting, calling out plumbers, paying bills and looking after each other.
So if the little people stop doing all that using the leechs’ preferred methods out of fear the leeches will destroy them for unsanctioned opinions, the leeches die. And those more closely exposed to the money not moving panic and thrash those at the top of the pile (like Justni) until they get the hint.
Tom – I may be wrong but even being wrapped in khaki can’t save SloMo at this point. Maybe a Chinese landing somewhere near Darwin would do it.

Thanks for reinforcing my point and completely contradicting yourself in five minutes.
Businesses will do exactly what they’re told when they’re told by the government, as we’ve seen for two years now.

All the banks have been withdrawing their ATMs for a while now, you will now find them at bank branch offices only. They already have shut down most branch offices too, so bank ATMs are hard to find.
It’s part of the bank’s push to get away from cash, dirty stuff that it is.
The first question asked on Rose Batty’s Abcess program is “tell us us Rose, which is more valuable, the life of your dog or the life of your child”. We have your dog here to answer the question if you can’t.

Boomercon hold over about “business” being some sort of secret reserve power of Freedom! is the last hangover from the 2000’s cuckservative dogma that we have to go for a good swim in the ocean to get rid of.
Business is a proxy for the government, a cats paw. In Australia they’re willing tax collectors from the people, ticket clippers from the people and now officially willing law enforcers over the people.
The only solution to a state with unlimited government power, is to become the government.
There are no One Weird Tricks around that. There are no vast secret forces of freedom power operating in the bowels of corporate buildings acting as a counter-balance to governments. It is the opposite. In retrospect that was always a ridiculous bit of fantasy and a coping mechanism. And in honesty just a way of people excusing themselves out of doing anything personally “oh it’s ok business will teach those upstarts in government a thing or two”.
Then they joined forces and proceeded to annihilate us all.
How they can print this with a straight face and zero commentary on the complete lack of efficacy of this mRNA experiment. It’s almost like they are just drip feeding the bad news that the “vaccine” does not work and will likely cause you severe long term damage.
Meh, I suspect a LOT of us new ‘minor liberty party’ voters will see it for what it is – a manufactured distraction that doesn’t threaten us. We wont be fooled.
NIH Cover-up. It Didn’t Have To Be This Way.
}The NIH clearly funded activities related to Gain of Function at Chinese facilities, including the WIV. This we already know from prior releases.
What are they hiding now that’s worse than that? Well, we can only guess.
But now there’s also been great detective work to uncover how exactly the “furin cleavage site” (PRRA, baby!) got into SAR2. The precise genetic sequence is quite odd as it doesn’t appear anywhere else in the entire world of viruses or higher animals. But it does appear in several Moderna patents. We deserve answers as to how that might have come to be. “
Ah well, feelthebern was wrong.
I just didn’t think there be any incursion, invasion, good will visit while the Russian gas was still getting pumped through Ukraine.

I won’t be.
But there are some rusted on LNP types who get boners when wars start.
So, Russia has invaded the Ukraine
This will be a great test for electric cars and renewables.
I don’t think I was ever a willing tax collector. PAYE was already in place long before I had my own business, and GST was a complete nightmare that cost me a huge amount of money to implement, as margins had to be cut in the short term if I wanted turnover. The BAS is still a thorn in the side for most small to medium business owners.
IT used to rail about corporatism and that’s probably where the authoritarian devil lurks. The big corporates do as they please. And when they put a step our of line, watch out! Westpac is a good example, but really what’s the loss of a little prestige when the shareholder foots the bill? It isn’t as if the Chief General Manager lost his house.
Particularly after the last 20 odd years of getting involved in overseas adventures.

I’m surprised too Bern. I suspect Putin probably understands that there’s no better time than to go in…he may as well seize the opportunity whilst the walking corpse continues rotting in the White House.
Seeing reports of an airborne drop on the airport in Kiev. That’s bloody ambitious!
Three ambulances? Three! Obviously one for Cloive; one for Mrs Cloive, and one for The Wallet.
Fairly normal turnout! .. Out where I am in western Sydney (near Fairfield Hospital) any less than 3 ambulances (or 2 & a, labelled, station wagon) is very rare .. no idea why 3 is the “magic” number but it’s been the standard turn-out rate for several months now ……..
Possibly. I get the feeling there is more hostility towards SloMo, outside the Friends of the ALPBC I think most people were barely ambivalent towards Howard.
“Tomsays:

Yep…and remember that election was only two months after 9/11
Putin, whilst KGB murdering scum, still wont tow the conga line of suckholes who make up the global cabal. He sees them infiltrating Ukraine and a threat to Russia given the lands there have been contested for all of about 1200 years. I’m not on his side at all, but nor am I against him.
Howard laid it on thick too.
“Speaking as someone who was in the US on 9/11”.
Didn’t take much to get Howard rummaging in the cupboard for some khaki and the flag.

Your contention is that every business in this country should have stood and (if necessary) fallen against a frightened and confused populace and its leadership so your ego amd choice could be satisfied. *
25+ million other folks felt differently enough (even if they might have agreed with you) that it didn’t happen.
I understand that rhetorically beating me up for upticks and continuing to smear and Nuff about how the WEF/NWO/COBRA is setting up to murdergenocide and rule us in perpetuity with digital social credit systems is excellent Cope, but it is never going to lead to change.
We have spent 2 years as a society mutually blundering about in the dark, bruising and pissing each other off. Even the people purportedly in charge had no damned idea of what the hell they were doing. And still don’t.
To call businesses (made up of people) shills for government (in this case, an abstracted cardboard cutout to make it easier to hate and project loss-of-power fantasies onto) is to hide oneself in the same psychotic bubble as every one who latched onto the Left’s ‘Non-Compliance is Science Denial!’ and ‘Anti-Vaxxxer! REEEEEE!’ memes.
Perhaps recriminations, cope and kicking self-decided wrongthinkers are not the way forward at this time.
* That’s a remarkably collectivist demand for an apparently staunch individualist like yourself to make, you know…
Usual ambo crew is 2, correct? Maybe 3 if you get one of the coordinators to turn up in their little SUVs.
3 crews would give you 6 trained paramedics for round-robinning CPR and other emergency medicine procedures.
CPR is bloody tiring if it’s just you and one partner. Even if you’re only training.

Pedantic comment:
Moreton Bay isn’t even in the north of Australia, never mind the north of Qld.
It begs the question: would Putin have done it if Trump were still president?
It’s in Putin’s interest to make this look like just another localized authoritarian crackdown on dissidents, just a little providing stability thing. Nothing to see here, move along.
He needs the cash from the gas sales to the EU and has no reason to cut it off.
On the other hand, the last thing the Ukrainians want to do is piss off the EU by cutting the pipeline.
The spice must flow.

Just look at this punitive insanity from QLD Health:

When the twin towers were falling, Wilkins was on the desk, probably because he’d passed out somewhere on site.
Starvation affects the man on the street just as effectively as your government ruler, Struth-sock.
And if nobody is producing anything, and it cannot be bought, robbed or bartered, then everybody loses.
But please, don’t let me interrupt your Nuffing about your totalitarian loss-of-power fantasies.
You sound suspiciously like you’re about to hit the vinegar, and I’m not some sort of Klaus Schwab type who would deny you everything for a moment of personal satisfaction…
Look to the Sovs’ first Five Year Plan (leading to the Holodomor) and the Chinese Great Leap Forward.
Look even at Venezuela…
Of course not!
Rigging the 2020 US presidential election is now having real-world consequences.
Thousands of Ukrainian civilians will likely die in the next 48 hours because a mob on Marxist radicals in America decided to do whatever it took to get rid of the Trump presidency.

I believe there is a bloke up that way, who might be able to help with the lopping.
Just some random thoughts and a note that my previous post on Ukraine should have been caveat-ed in that it was based on some assumptions:
– Putin limits his objectives to the two previously contested provinces. Then says ‘mission accomplished’ and goes back to his dacha.
If he tries to take and hold all of Ukraine he’s going to eventually run out of cash, high tech equipment, and the goodwill of the Russian people because it’s going to be flat out muddy, ugly, bloody, and drawn out… and he still won’t have control a year from now. The Ukrainians aren’t going to fold easily and general winter bothers them not.
– Neither side, nor a rouge actor, gets stupid enough to do a black ops bit on the pipeline, cutting it and attempting to blame it on their opponent.
– Ukraine keeps their friends onside to arm and feed them. Going to need some good videographers and comms to do that. A few really good hackers and spoofers wouldn’t hurt either.
On the other hand, this thing could be over by the end of the weekend if Putin restrains his appetite. But Donbass and Luhansk aren’t going to be fun places to live after.
Too little, too late.
Putin had already built Russia’s military up to second most powerful in the world.
W. Europe has a death wish, France excepted, although they have other problems to contend with.
Eyrie:

Dot’s suggestion of the Russian Army moving in to restrain the more boisterous militias they’ve been backing to date seems to dovetail with this idea.

Damn straight.
As mentioned upthread, all the air has been sucked out of their ‘roadmap back out of covid’. All the opportunities for self-congratulation and grandstanding in pressers about keeping millions of their serfs alive have gone.
In its place will be falling over each other – without Auslan interpreters – to ‘stand behind’ the tufties*, which a) won’t affect any outcome, b) piss the Russians in Australia off, c) piss the Ukrainians in Australia off, and d) become very boring very quickly.

‘Tufty’ is a derogatory Russian term for Ukrainians, and named for their traditional hairstyle.
30 years ago Francis Fukuyama published the book ‘The End of History’, in which he contended that with Fascism and Communism defeated, liberal democracy and market economies would rule the world.
In 2022 we see liberal democracy rotten at its core and receding in power and moral authority all over the world, which is now multi-polar rather than the unipolar, US dominated place Bush Sr. announced as the ‘new world order’.
The last people to realise this will be the Western liberal elites.
Given the attitude of most of the Russians I know by the end of it, I would’ve and I’d have enjoyed the slow and painful demise that would’ve been inflicted on some individuals.
Could not happen to a better group of people.

Unsurprising, since they were the ones who ruined it in their greed and hubris.

Statement –
https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1496716089820069894?cxt=HHwWjICy9dHWs8UpAAAA
Putin has made his long term aims clear – the reunification of Ukraine, and particularly Kiev -with Russia.
Kiev is historically the birthplace of Rus’.
Too early to tell if that is an objective presently though.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not take from somebody else. I wonder if Government know this, or is stealing of our grandchildren ok.
“In 2022 we see liberal democracy rotten at its core and receding in power and moral authority all over the world, which is now multi-polar rather than the unipolar, US dominated place Bush Sr. announced as the ‘new world order’.

‘He who sits enthroned in heaven laughs at them’. Psalm 2; relevant reading for our times.
Yep, if you want a real world example, look to Gulf Wars 1 and 2: In Gulf war 1, Bush Senior sensibly limited his victory conditions to the achievable – get Saddam out of Kuwait, then go home.
In Gulf War 2, we upped the ante to the un – achievable: occupy Iraq AND control the people. The result was an insurgency that eventually triumphed because, like all occupying powers, they weren’t prepared to pay the price to hold on to a country they really didnt want anyway.
If Vlad limits himself to taking the ethnically Russian Eastern provinces only, the price will be acceptable because there will not be a widespread insurgency. If he goes further west, he will run into populations which do not support him, and an insurgency will arise.
I predict he is smart enough to settle for option1.
Meanwhile – will China move on Taiwan? If so, most likely via a blockade. I have seen analyses which suggest a full blow invasion is probably beyond them at the moment, given their limited sealift ability. In any case, the US is broken, I doubt they have the cojones to seriously oppose either Vlad or the CCP.

Waleed Aly from The Project interviews “reformed” protester

My take on The Project airing a baffling interview by Waleed Aly with an individual that has left the freedom movement by atoning for their past actions and rejoining the vaccinated community. The interview at times lacked even the most basic pretence of journalistic integrity and verged on exploitative agenda driven propaganda during its attempt to associate all protesters with the conflicted actions of one individual. Waleed and the guest even insinuated at one point that any opposition to lockdowns in Victoria was because of misinformation alone.
The full interview is available via the Projects social media pages at the moment, but with comments already disabled it’s possible they may take the entire interview offline.
In FitzSimons probing Wednesday column, he accused the coalition of drumming up a divisive pre-election debate, pointing out that this bill hasn’t actually been requested by anybody from within a major sporting body
“Major”. Presumably that’s a tacit admission that it’s been asked for by some sporting bodies. And even if it hasn’t, if ScoMo’s doing it for political gain it’s presumably the wish of a great many people.
The Bill just prevents XY people with “lesbian dicks” from suing a body that enforces sane rules. The “major” bodies can still let their playing fields be testosterone filled and their changing rooms be a showplace for “lesbian dicks” if they want to.
“Major” pffft. Sporting bodies should be at liberty to provide girls playing at amateur or local level with a comp where they’re not pulverised or flashed at by XY people.

The recently published US Indo-Pacific Strategy has committed the US and its allies in the region to the defence of Taiwan’s independence.

He can probably afford to nibble/destabilize then repeat every 5 years or so. Or until a very friendly party wins the elections.
Which was in response to the US putting missiles in Turkey.
It begs the question: would Putin have done it if Trump were still president?
2014 on Barry’s watch Putin invades the Ukraine and annexes the Crimean Peninsula.
21/1/2017-21/1-2021, Putin leaves the Ukraine alone.
2022 on the child sniffer’s watch Putin invades the Ukraine.
No, I can’t see a pattern here at all.
I’ve put the SOS call through to Vlad. He mentioned they knew where the TaliDan lives.
What business is it of ours if PNG wants to join the Chinese co-prosperity sphere?
Really it’s just a matter of fact now that if they’re on the “radio” or “TV”, they’re spokespeople for the governing classes. That’s just how it is, I guess it always was.
This is the classic “Buffer States” problem.
At the collapse of the USSR, there was plenty of distance between NATO and Russia.
From a stability point of view, having weakly aligned buffer states in between eases tensions.
But Germans gotta German, and so the EU /NATO has subsumed all the buffer, and are now knocking at the door. The Wehrmacht, disguised as NATO and supported by their WW2 enemy the US, has achieved more than any previous Reich, through bullying, economic warfare and Teutonic relentlessness.
All the buffer states are gone, we’re down to buffer towns and regions. Once the buffer is used up, border skirmishes begin, and it’s back to Imperial Conflict.
Germany vs Russia. We’ve heard it before.
The next 30 years will not be like the last.
Dibs not loading a burning EV into a trebuchet and trying to launch it before it sets fire to the poor trebby too, Winston.
Launch rails is easy- First whiff of smoke you hit the Big Red Button, and pretend you’re hunting U-boats… 🙂

Wonder where the 10% for the big guy is in this?
Is the invasion good or bad for Hunter’s role at Burisma?
Tom Elliot has mastered the unique Leftard ability to suck their own cock.
Errr… The Soviets’ Empire wasn’t weakly aligned. It was all Moscow-arranged, trained and directed. And the majority of the troops aimed West from 1947 to 1989 were East German, Polish, Czech and Hungarian. With the Red Army as the second line and providing dedicated breakthrough forces to exploit all that cannon fodder.
In Australia they’re willing tax collectors from the people, ticket clippers from the people and now officially willing law enforcers over the people.
This is getting more and more true of any large business in Australia.
At work I was recently reading an investors agreement for a pretty big new operation. As usual it had clauses protecting the minority investors by imposing certain requirements that couldn’t be overruled by majority vote. One was qualifications required of candidates for appointment of C-suite execs. On that list was demonstrable experience and capacity in dealing with government.
Maybe it has always been so but that was the first time I’ve seen it spelled out as directly as that.
The Ukrainians were expecting the 24th Regiment of Foot,
but all they got were some Welsh Wankers.
So, ‘Peace in our time’ then?
To the sound of John Lenon’s “Imagine” surely? Fucking hippies.
Effective CPR is indeed enervating.
I was involved in advocating for the wider distribution of defibrillators.
I am now way out of date with my qualifications.
Don’t despair.
I’ll happily ring the ambulance for you.
That’s what I pay taxes for.
So why are they all part of NATO now?
Researchers stabilize the closed SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer
original paper
Introduction of two prolines and removal of the polybasic cleavage site leads to optimal efficacy of a recombinant spike based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in the mouse model
As we all probably know by now, spike protein has two subunits, S1 + S2. when the spike protein is used to enter a cell, the S1 is jettisoned. This is a serious problem for vaccines given the toxicity of S1. The primary concern of the researchers in stabilising the S protein however was transportation and cold storage and ensuing the S1 protein did not undergo separation.
Little seems to have been done beyond these mouse models to determine what happens to the S protein in vivo. Given that researchers are finding separated S1 in uninfected and vaccinated people months post jab, questions remain.
I may have mentioned the time I was in the Robin Hood after a day down the beach lifesaving when someone collapsed.
The barmaid races up to means asked if I knew CPR.
I said I knew the whole fucking alphabet.
Well everyone in the pub laughed.
Except one.
The idea of Morrison being our Churchill is peak Clown World.
This war has absolutely nothing to do with Australia.
Cuba is rather closer to the US than Turkey is to Russia.
Quite the opposite.
And it’s annoyed the Chinese no end.
Because that was the first practucal unified Western European olitical organisation to exist.
Before the EU became the bloated bureaucratic monster with delusions of political and moral significance it is today, before even its predecessors the European Coal and Steel Community, there was NATO the mutual self-defence organisation with US military and economic backing.
You wanted to show your solidarity and eagerness to engage with your neighbours, you went and signed up with NATO.
When Russia’s economy and the Communist Parties collapsed, the first smart move to attract investment and cultivate good diplomatic relations from the rest of the world was NATO membership.
There was never any agenda of perfidious ‘German’ or ‘US’ expansionism, other than individual nations doing what they deemed prudent at the time.
I just read some Hansard from WA Parliament a couple of days ago, with ‘debate’ about a Firearms Amendment Bill.
FMD.
One remarkable element, the Member for Willagee, was all over the danger of right-winger terrorism. Yes! You bastards are going to murder everyone in their beds.
Another was all over that terrible danger, the licensed firearm, in domestic violence.
Yes! You bastards are going to murder everyone in their beds.
Missile Tech has advanced a fair bit since 1962.
You know, it might just be that the territorial settlement of Ukraine following the collapse of the USSR was simply not fit for purpose. It was before then more a administrative unit rather than a political one; majorities in the East and Crimean peninsula never wanted to be part of an independent Ukraine. Let them settle the matter between themselves without dragging larger powers into the dispute.
The centre of gravity of US interests has shifted from W. Europe to the Asia-Pacific region.
The Europeans were stunned by AUKUS. A cold dose of the new reality for them.
And as an added bonus we left Canada out of it! 😀
So, you’re not expecting the Yanks to ever help us out, eh?
Wake up to yourself.
Je condamne!
The Ukrainian Constitution actually allows for the self-government of districts.
Not really. Apart from Florida, they are about the same effective distance and achieve the same effect as delivery platforms.
Right, who gave Grigory his weighted dice back?

The Military has always been fulla Fruits, Left Footers, Trannies, assorted weirdoes, it was just kept in the closet.
The problems that creates when fighting wars was remedied by Conscription in the past.
So if Russia and the US had staye dout of it, and Kiev had been better disposed to its Russian minority, a modus vivendi might have been reached without conflict.
At the moment, nobdy involved in this, including the US, can rightfully claim the high ground.
As some here are contriting about failed predictions of Ukraine non-invasion..
I did the same last week, after several weeks of standard MSM fear-mongering,
However…
An invasion proper would see tanks and troops stomping around Kyiv and Kharkiv.
I still doubt that will ever happen, for reasons of cost, supplies, public support etc.. all detailed above.
A border-redistribution of the Donbas (Luhansk and Donetsk regions), which is majority ethnic Russian seems to be Putin’s aim, but.. that region has not been controlled by Kyiv since 2014, just like the Crimea.
So, at this stage, it’s formalising militarily what has been the realpolitik for 8 years.
No diplomatic solution was ever possible, Putin seemingly the only leader to know this.
Putin looking after his own people, a distant memory in the decaying West.
All power to him!
And to hear the standard boilerplate BS excreted by Western Leaders again shows the shallow depravity and impotence of NATO, as well as the demented cretin’s US.
As for all the claims of explosions in Kyiv etc.. is there any non-fakenewsy real evidence?, in this age of 3,4,5G? Not that I’ve seen so far.
Not a plan as such but, there is always the hope that rank incompetence will cause them to fuck it up.
Speedbox guest post The Putin Gambit part 2 out now. Do yourself a favour.
I want the Poles to now move on Lviv.
It was theirs for a lot longer than it was the Ukraine’s.
I thought that was a foregone conclusion. 🙂
Poland has no legit claim to Galicia or Ruthenia.
It’s never stopped them before, though.
The petty bureaucrats and nannies running sport are even to be found in the NT:
‘Serious misconduct.’ Just as well he didn’t hit the nightclubs and cave someone’s head in. What would that be? ‘Even more serious misconduct’?
Just listen to these po-faced pricks:
What has happened to the NT?
Interesting developments in gas markets.
Right now, gas transiting the Ukraine (from Russia) is being pumped into the Romanian & Slovakian hubs.
This is normal.
But there is zero gas going from Ukraine into Poland.
This is not normal.
So what’s happening is gas has to go around the loop from all other hubs in Europe to feed Poland & the other countries off that spur.
Which is putting further pressure on ze German parts of the network.
I’m not going to watch this non stop.
But it is fascinating to watch real time.
I’m sure there’s some monkey business going on.
I support Vlad.

Tell me that’s not true calli.
I distinctly remember one of the pro-quarterly BAS marketing themes was “it helps small business stay tuned to their finances instead of waiting until the end of the year.”
LOL. Gas prices up 25% in Europe.
Suck it up you fucking woke, vax mandating, fascist pieces of shit.
On Putin vs Tony Abbott, i’ve today been informed that Judo guys like The Pute are always training and they learn to box anyway, so Tony beating up Vlad over the Ukies shooting down MH17, as well as being preposterous, isn’t a realistic outcome.
I hope Russia invades every vax mandating country.
Could we have a reminder of the aggressive Canadian finance minister announcing her hunt down and closing of personal bank accounts and then the time it took to unfreeze said accounts. Am waiting with baited breath to find out just how they did it and the amounts of money involved to apply the choke hold.
I donated to the Freedom Convoy. My account hasn’t been molested.
Shit Grigs, now you’re slow and stupid.
More importantly, you need to at least try to be factually accurate- It was not Ukraine that shot down MH17, nor was it people who consider themselves ‘Ukrainian.’
Try to read and comprehend the talking points before you eat them, next time…
Including their own?

Technically the distance from Turkey to the Soviet Union at the time of the missile crisis was less than one millimetre since they bordered each other.
One fun thought is that, now that Putin has established that ethnic parts of another country should by divine right or something be part of his country, Turkey might announce annexation of Idlib province. It’s the Sunni bit of western Syria, and Turkey has been doing a Donbas impersonation there for quite a while. Erdogan won’t get a better chance than now, and he just as ambitious as Vlad.
Not necessarily fake.
Considering the way the Poms run a war.
They are Woke Nazis.

OTOH, there are many actual Ukrainians in the eastern part who are (to put it tactfully) not over keen on becoming part of Russia. The Holodomor remains an active memory to them.
And so they should. The USA have been attacking other countries for years, and none bats an eyelid. Vlad knows that the USA can’t even beat a few goat herders at the moment, so wow, what an opportunity for them.

That could work. Recall Churchill suffered from constipation and Morrison is full of it. Just sayin.
Choo choo man, who shot down MH17? also show evidence please.
It’s our business, for sure.
But would it justify the shelling of Port Moresby?
Leaving aside the distinct possibility that PNG might whup our arse.
