Alekhine was one of the greatest Chess players, died suddenly in 1946.
His son later claimed that Moscow had a hand in his death.
But, you know what?
That doesn’t mean I hate Putin.
Quote from latest guest on Tim Pool.
“The Europeans are going at defending Europe with American blood”.
Seems Trump was right yet again. Clip going around of him talking, in 2018, about European countries not paying fair share of NATO. NATO set up to defend against Russia but made themselves dependent on their gas and oil.
Weird how kids of Biden, Kerry, Pelosi and Romney all involved in lucrative business in Ukraine. US$80,000 per month for Hunter Biden buys something but it was certainly not his business skills.
Just listened to a clip from the Gaggle. Khrushchev and Brezhnev were Ukrainian, Stalin was, of course, from Georgia.
Who doesn’t like a bit of Italian whimsy?
I know Putin is evil but doubt he could be blamed for death of somebody in 1946 when he was not even born yet.

Thanks Luzu, sobering tale indeed. Many of our forbears had it really really tough, yet here we are.
Hey Bill McKibben
Imagine* a Europe that ran on nuclear power: whose cars ran on locally provided electricity using Australian Uranium, and whose homes were heated by electric air-source heat pumps. That Europe would not be funding Putin’s Russia, and it would be far less scared of Putin’s Russia – it could impose every kind of sanction, and keep them in place until the country buckled.
Apropos of areff’s comment above:
It ended up being an accident, involving a Ukraine anti-air vehicle, and the driver survived unscathed. Thank God.

How sobering was this post???? Put simply, factually…..the essence of the tragedy that is the recent history of Russia and her neighbours.
The post talked about events from 100 years ago [The Peasants War] to 1945 as if that has any relevance to what has happened the last 2 days.
Ed, it doesn’t matter whether you think they have any relevance.
What matters is whether the people involved think they have any relevance.
If the Islamic terrorists rant about Charles Martel then Charles Martel is relevant.
If people fighting against tyranny here and elsewhere in the Anglosphere see Magna Carta as a step in the hard winning of rights and liberties, Magna Carta is relevant.
If the Ulster Protestants march on Apprentice Boys’ Day and the Anniversary of the Boyne, those events are relevant. And, conversely, if Ulster Catholics whose ancestors migrated to Ulster in the 19th century for factory jobs whine about “the Flight of the Earls” then even that’s relevant.
If the Aboriginals want to be 100% wrong about their ancestors’ legal position before the 1967 referendum then even their wrongology is relevant.
I can tell you for a fact that there are Latvians alive here in Australia who barrack against Russian tennis players because of what the Russians did to them personally around the time of WWII.

People need to see what Putin really is. He’s a tin pot dictator/gangster of a nation he’s run for two decades that has a GDP smaller than Italy with 150 million people vs 60 million. He hasn’t done a thing for average Russian folks. His prime objective is to big note himself around the world as an important fucker. The only reason he’s taken a little seriously is because he inherited a ton of nuclear weapons from the old Sov. All he’s done is enrich himself and his oligarch pals. He’s a piece of shit.
“Also, I might add one other thing. As despicable as the demonrats are and they are, two of them have bravely done the right thing by the American people and held things together against their extremist co-party members. Joe Manchin and the chick from Arizona have shown tons of courage – more so than RINOs.”
I agree and disagree JC. I think you’re being a little too generous re. Manchin. I don’t think he’s particularly brave, I think he’s covering his arse, he’s a senator from West Virginia, perhaps one of the most conservative states in the union. As for Sinema from Arizona….she’s also worried about her re-election.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Manchin defects to the GOP one day.
A few hours ago you lamented that the Biden led US were frustrated with Zelensky staying put, because they want to control the Ukraine and deal directly with Putin.
You stupid bitch.
It relates to the earlier claim that the Russians and Ukrainians hate each other because of the dekulukisation.
Cassie
That’s all good. However, I don’t profess to read minds and can only interpret actions. If Manchin and Sinema are from conservative states, it means they won primaries on the basis that they were conservative demonrats, so it shouldn’t surprise they won’t toe the extremist line.
Obviously not.

Ed,
Look up “analogy” on the internet.
Normal people are capable of seeing similarities between non-identical phenomena, and learning from the similarities as well as from the differences. It’s actually a very common mental ability among people with three figure IQ’s.
My offer still stands. I’ll pay all your travel costs to the Donbass region right now so you can tell everyone there that the Russians and Ukrainians are the same people. Ought to be a breeze if past history doesn’t matter.
Well aware of that, Tim.
A significant and shameful step in the break up of the Commonwealth.
“People need to see what Putin really is. “
I do and I reckon most here do. Putin is a corrupt thug and despot. However what Putin’s doing is the result of three decades of weak and rotten western leadership, both politically and militarily. I don’t know whether you’ve had a chance to watch the GB News discussion with David Starkey. You should (and interestingly Jack Posobiec is retweeting the discussion because it’s so good), Starkey, who’s an eminent historian, nails the current catastrophic Ukrainian imbroglio. We in the west have become shallow, indulged, flabby, adolescent, immature, obsessed with trivialities and so on. But more critically and catastrophically, as Starkey articulates so well, we in the west now view force, strength and power as bad…..the truth is that they’re not bad and they’re not evil. The likes of Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan, Nixon and so on recognised the importance of governing countries that are strong, not just economically but also socially, politically and most important of all….militarily.
I’ve been thinking over the last few days about a lot and I’ve come to the conclusion that one of the reasons the left loathe Israel (apart from the fact that most of them are rabid Jew haters) is because Israel is strong militarily and knows how to use military force when necessary…..and you know what, that’s a very good thing because Israel wouldn’t exist without force.
Also Ed:
I would very much like to hear the traffic paddle story again.
Good post Cassie, the only quibble would be that although the effete western establishment now view force, strength and power as bad, they are still very happy to use it against their own productive citizens.
Absolutely. Nobody’s putting a halo on the bloke.
Putin is doing what he is doing because he is being allowed to, and because the combined Western European ‘leadership group’ cannot or will not put all their nuts in one sock. Any self-respecting world leader would do exactly the same thing and take the same opportunities.
And, lest it needs saying (looking at you rsrrsrs, you Radio Rental sky cadet), because you’re anti-Biden does not make you pro-Putin.
Ahahaha. Haha. Aaaaah haha.
The last holdout!
Let’s cut to the chase, Timothy.
You’re floating the bullshit that events in the Ukraine of the last few days are caused by Racial/Ethnic/Political [take your pick] differences and I’m calling you a shill, a dope, and a clown.

Putin – in his speech – makes several good points in Russias favour.
The Ukraine also has good points inasmuch as every nation has the right to self defence and their own Alliances.
The only one I’m seeing as not having strong points in their behaviour is NATO.
Mind you, why hasn’t Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria made up their own defensive Alliance?
This would have placated the Russians, NATO and the US.

What does Putin think he’s going to do with Zelensky?
Kill him and it’s war crime. Option 1.
Capture him and he’s a focal point for world attention.
As a captive to be put on trial, what possible charge could a Russian leader charge an elected foreign leader with that would be vaguely legal?

Cleared for a bit here in Caloundra, but we were turned around 3 times on different bits of Kawana Way. The hospital is located on Kawana Way. Also Bruce Highway closed from Caloundra turnoff heading south, and we didn’t see anything heading north.
Luckily the back way through Narangba and Burpengary and Caboolture was still open yesterday after school (I won’t identify the school, but it is in the northern Moreton region), so I was able to save a 2 hour plus sit in traffic on the Bruce after school yesterday.

Poor old self-beclowning Ed. Nowhere did I say that “events in the Ukraine of the last few days are caused by Racial/Ethnic/Political [take your pick] differences”. I said that things like that are relevant. Of course there are other factors at play.
But do you really think that the different ratios of identification as “Russian” and “Ukrainian” in east and west Ukraine have had no relevance to how those recent events have panned out? If 100% of the population of the east were solidly pro-Kiev Ukrainian patriots, mightn’t that have affected Putin’s calculations and strategic objectives?
As for an analogy, I suppose “Ed” wouldn’t do, because it isn’t an analogy, but a synonym.

It certainly tells us a lot about the importance and influence of history on that part of the world, something that Dick Ed has spent much of the day denying.
Worth recalling that until 2006, Local Authorities managed the States Dams and releases of water were timed to tides and weather predictions.
Following the State Government takeover of all Water Assets, releases had to be okayed by the Minister’s Office.
That’s when the Big Floods started happening even though the rainfall hadn’t varied much since the early 70s.

Why & why now.
‘He’s an evil big old meanie!’, doesn’t cut it in any serious circles.
He didn’t survive countless other bigger, meaner, fully evil Soviets by being stupid & having hissy fits, like the commenters who want us to believe that stupidity.
Commenters who all NEED people to forget that this is another round of Biden & Co throwing Ukrainians into a meat grinder again, when they need a diversion to re-secure their ill gotten gains that go through their Ukrainian Laundry.
I remember what the ‘Ukrainian’ Puppet Govt of the Dems did to Ukrainians the last time they used this diversion.
Traitorous Ukrainians beholden to Clinton et al slaughtered over 16,000 of their fellow countrymen.
FFS, they burned over 40 alive just in an effort to kick off the waring none of the people wanted.
Crack Whore Hunter, his Daddy and the Mob are in more trouble now than they were back then (which reminds me, you went nuts telling people not to touch ZeroHedge when it was already giving in depth reports on the facts about the Hunter, Burism etc. scams, long before it made any MSM; and here you are now, still blowing cover smoke for the inhuman filth), and Putin going in now, against legitimate military targets, has done more to save Ukrainians from ‘their’ leadership than if he sat back & waited ’til Biden’s busy with another election.
Now we have Biden’s Mob telling Zelenskyy that he is NOT ALLOWED to negotiate PEACE with Putin, cos … cos why JC?
Cos they haven’t slaughtered enough Ukrainians yet?
Cos they still need the diversion?
You are worse than Cassie telling me, no, the whole Cat, that I must hate Jews because I’m Ukrainian, and worse than Dot & rest of the foulmouthed fools who thought it clever to smear Eastern Europeans as paedophile just to have a go at me … just before you now all come out pretending to give a shit about Ukrainians.

ROFLMAO! Dick Ed is a “Gough was deposed by the CIA” true believer. Labor shill, probably paid!
“It certainly tells us a lot about the importance and influence of history on that part of the world, something that Dick Ed has spent much of the day denying.”
Once upon a time the importance and influence of history was valued in Western Europe too but no more. However Eastern Europeans haven’t forgotten their history, be it the Ottoman Empire, Soviet rule and so on. This is why almost every Eastern European country said NO to masses of Muslim migrants because they remember Ottoman rule and what happened…….dhimmi status, persecution, rapes, enslavement and so on.
That old adage is true…..
“We ignore the past at our peril. To navigate the present we must heed the lessons of history”.
The West no longer does this, instead leftists politicians, many of our “educated class” and the MSM mock and denigrate our history. Remember how we saw BLM activists and leftist scum defacing our statues back in 2020? The Churchill statue and the Cenotaph were vandalised in London. Yes, the memorial to those who sacrificed their lives in war was vandalised by middle class activist scum who’ve had everything delivered to them on a platter. And if they’re punished, all they receive is a slight rebuke. They’re laughing at us. Imagine for a moment if a Russian vandalised a memorial in Moscow, St Peterburg or Volgagrad (once Stalingrad) to those who died in the Great Patriotic War, you reckon he or she would simply receive a slight rebuke? I don’t think so.
We will reap what we sow.
Gees, there must be legions of these new-fangled social media influencers everywhere.
All bought and paid for, amiright rrsrsrs?
The cats must be playing up today.
Yes but they have a habit of killing Democrats – usually high ranking ones.
No, you have never smeared anyone as child abusers, LOL, but other than that, WTF are you babbling about?
Ukraine is a place where the elected government was violently ousted, then the people who elected that government spent the next eight years being disenfranchised, blockaded, shelled, ethnically cleansed and placed under siege by the unelected illegitimate junta and its violent para militaries that took the country over and protect them.
It’s hilarious watching people who openly supported that whole thing in 2014, now grinding their teeth knowing they can’t say a word about it without being exposed as massive hypocrites (or dopes) as they go on about Russia’s corruption and democracy deficit.
just bought a ‘Because I was Inverted’ Top Gun T shirt from the internet.
Brilliance.
From memory, there were references to that partiality in Simon Sebag Montefiore’s work “Stalin The Court of the Red Tsar.”
If you are not saying it is a matter of non intervention, then you are making a moral equivalence argument, which is completely wrong.
I think I just saw JC say nobody ever got assassinated in the US for politics.
All that mask wearing in your car may have reduced you cognitive ability JC.
From memory, the “Daily Mail” ran with the story of a Russian teenager, who drew FOUR YEARS in tronk, for pizzing on his local war memorial.

No, you lying whore for Biden, I posted that even now when Zelenskyy wants to negotiate PEACE WITH PUTIN, YOUR BIDEN & Co Mobsters are TELLING HIM HE ISN’T ALLOWED TO, because they are still running the horror show they turned the Ukraine into.
O.K., maybe you aren’t lying, maybe you’re just really, really stupid and desperately invested in the Dems keeping their Ukrainian Laundry going.
“You are worse than Cassie telling me, no, the whole Cat, that I must hate Jews because I’m Ukrainian, and worse than Dot & rest of the foulmouthed fools who thought it clever to smear Eastern Europeans as paedophile just to have a go at me … just before you now all come out pretending to give a shit about Ukrainians.”
Firstly, I’ve been scrolling you and I would appreciate it if you didn’t mention my name.
Secondly, I think you need some sleep.
Internal mafia political squabbles.
“From memory, the “Daily Mail” ran with the story of a Russian teenager, who drew FOUR YEARS in tronk, for pizzing on his local war memorial.”
I’m all for punishment but that’s a tad excessive!
With as much credibility as Biden’s mail in votes.
Tell us the results of subsequent elections too.
Do you have any independent, non crackpot sources for this? RT doesn’t count. Let’s say there was such horrendous activity. How many Russian agitators and infiltrators (from Russian special forces) were there (illegally)?
I don’t trust the Ukrainian government but you are taking Putin at his word.
That sounds like Putin did in three provinces.
I am not denying the massive corruption of meddling western officials, worse corruption in Ukraine and Putin’s world record corruption.
I feel quite comfortable bringing it all up.
Not even Gough Whitlam believed that the CIA had anything to do with the “Dismissal.”
Putin has made a case for invading Ukraine. It is not particularly insane. The conduct of the US in Ukraine in recent years has been appalling.
Whether Putin had any viable alternatives is not at all clear, but he thought not, and he’s better informed than we are. To what extent he’s driven by a mission to recover Czarist Russia is also unclear. Imputing bad motives to ppl you don’t like is facile. Also unnecessary; you can suspend judgement until you have more data.
Yes, and you also quoted Ed Case in saying that I was shilling for Zelensky, who was equivocated to Biden and Clinton.
If I am shilling for Zelensky then I support him not taking orders from his supposed puppet masters.
So what you said makes no sense, you brain damaged moron.
The article pointed out that the maximum penalty was five years up the creek.
No you didn’t see me saying that because I never suggested it.
What I was analogising to was a US president taking out their opposition by poisoning or jailing them.
Stix, do you have picture of Putin with a candle beside it?
Are dissenters still imprisoned in DC without trial? Has Ashli Babbit’s killer been prosecuted? If the answers are yes and no respectively, how is the USA any better than Russia now?
Under the totally confected whinging about muh democracy in oligarch and mitia run Ukraine, the general theme of the whinging about PutinStalin is that he risks upsetting the perfect new global order that these weakling degenerate retards in the “international community” classes have so carefully manipulated into existence over the last 25 years.
Sad.
Wow, just watched a russian tank swerve and run over a civilian car on the highway, crushing it flat.
Are dissenters still imprisoned in DC without trial? Has Ashli Babbit’s killer been prosecuted? If the answers are yes and no respectively, how is the USA any better than Russia now?
The swamp is no better; but there is still a glimmer of hope the swamp can be counted in the US. There is no hope in wussia.
Not a Russian tank, the tank skidded coming on the road (tracks do that), the fella in car was unharmed. Glory to God.
there is still a glimmer of hope the swamp can be counted in the US
agree and I hope it is countered but I’m not counting on it

Twitter reports of 2 x Antonovs downed, full of troops. Not conformed however.
I can’t see Putin not achieving his objective of full control of Donetsk , but it will be a very expensive mission. . The Ukrainian people have been totally screwed, by their own corrupt Govt , the EU, Nato and now Putin. Ugly.
This is all correct but it is a matter of degree, and that is very important.
Daily Mail.
Yep. Putin is a baaaad man; when confronted with an American tranny admiral, he laughs.
Exactly!
That’s why we take the kids along. They also saved us once when the point was to name all the planets in order from the sun.
Funniest time was when we had the ferry captain in our team (along with half a dozen random others, including crew… and kids) and the question was define ‘epirb’*, an outright gimme for the captain. But he couldn’t remember! Red faces all around when Son jumped in with the answer.
*Emergency position indicating radio beacon.
Yea, I can see that. Those mean bad Americans made him do it. Those meanies.
In terms of when to go to war to invade? Not really. He wouldn’t have dared in Trump and after he sized up Brandon he thought it was a good shot.
Have you been asleep for the past 20 years? It’s all the ex-KGB fuckhead has talked about and concerned with other than enriching himself and his pals. It’s been grievance city with the fuckhead all the while accumulating US$200 billion in wealth.
It’s not imputing motives at all. It’s easy to follow what the Russian fuckhead has said in the past 20 years about the disintegration of the Sov.
Why? What data? We know his motivations as he’s expressed them.
Putin is a thug and a despot.
True.
He isn’t the thug and the despot who has stolen the freedoms in the western world and intent on destroying Australia and Australians.
We have our own corrupt thugs and murderous despots.
While you all get swept up in this conflict, ask yourself what is going on at home?
What cash banning bills are being introduced?
What are the despots and murderous thugs going to do to us while we watch this theatre?
The war will be the excuse for every poverty inducing action taken by the traitorous despots on our own soil while , as we see quite clearly again, even here at the cat, people will be listening to the MSM and accept being told what to think and be concerned about, as has happened for years, while here many claim they have “woken up”……not looking at the above.
We can’t help anyone until we free ourselves from our own despots.
The cash ban bill is of secondary importance compared to the digital identity bill.
If that passes, good lord we are stuffed.
We’ve been stuffed for a good while now dotty.
Simple question.
Who is more dangerous to yourself and your nation right now?
Sco Mo and Hunt and the WEF plants in our government and swamps, or Vlad Putin?
Our overlords need to be taken out.
First the Chinese kunt and now the Russian one have been threatening the use of nuclear weapons against other nations that oppose them. If this is the new world disorder, please take me back to the old order.
Once you begin normalizing this kind of talk, it becomes likely nukes will be used.
In the Washington Examiner:
Two Russian transport planes shot down around Kyiv, Ukraine says (25 Feb)
The Baltics and the US have been sending Stingers to Ukraine the last few weeks. Transport aircraft would be very soft targets for such things.
Jesse Watters and guest discussing possibility putin is insane.
So he’s not just baaaad because he laughs at tranny admirals. The bastard is patriotic as well.
I don’t want Russia to expand myself, or to recover its former territories. But I can understand why Putin would feel that way. And say so. That may or may not be his motivation for moving into Ukraine. He’s given other, adequate reasons. Including not wanting trannies throwing their weight around. I’m not unsympathetic to that position.
I’d say it’s the Chinese kunt longer term and you shorter-term while in a crazed mental state driving the Baker’s Delight delivery van and smashing it into a crowd.

Simple but effective.
All the advanced electronics and weapons don’t work if you’re engulfed in fire.
Steel becomes an oven.
Can I answer “all of the above”? 😀
Oh I forgot some Chinese guy. I’ve been musing to myself lately what would happen if a few supposedly empty iron ore carriers arrived off Karratha and Broome full of PLA guys. Take the airports and air bridge in a couple divisions. Game over.
Tell us, was Adolf patriotic annexing Austria and the rest before the big war? I guess he was.
He laughs at a trannie Admiral = Hitler was a dog lover. What eggsactly is the point?
What trannie throwing his weight around?
“Our overlords need to be taken out.”
Get your water pistols ready.
Have you been awake over the past twenty years?
Sort of complimentary . They are meant to work together.
As some of us were saying for two years, the vaccines are about introducing a checking system, a system that sorts the compliant from those who need punishing. The system is in place, and what ever restrictions get eased, the state of emergencies are still being extended after TWO FUCKING YEARS and mandates will never be relinquished. Oh yes, the truly thick might argue that they are being relaxed in many countries, but the checking system, along with state of emergency powers have not been rescinded.
We’ve got a lot more to be worried about with our own despots and the next stage.
Klaus himself said the great reset will be achieved after regional wars, pandemics and supply chain failure occur. ” The world will be a more angry place”
Typical fuckwit socialists doing the same old thing. Propaganda and destruction to bring on the utopia of owning nothing and making the elites happy.
Why now?
In normal times Putin starting this would be analysed with less cynicism, but knowing what we know after the last two years, you’d have to be a certain type of gullible to not be cynical and to be looking at our own globalist masters.
Doc Faustus:
Your link to the Federalist didn’t work for me, so I’ll put a new one up and note this particularly interesting point:
“From Russia, the United States still imports nearly 600,000 barrels of oil every day. In contrast, the Keystone XL Pipeline Biden shut down was supposed to transport 830,000 barrels at peak capacity. Biden didn’t sanction the Russian energy sector, because he couldn’t have. Trump could have, and probably would have.”
Huh?
America is far worse than Russia now and it’s still got a long way to fall.
Yeah but, Putin’s bad, unforgivably, evil bad because he’s NOT a Democrat doing this –
This is what I was referring to. What admiral?
What’s your point SRR?
Wow, the Kievites have really taken this suggestion to heart:
‘Make Molotov cocktails, neutralise the occupier!’: Ukrainian ministry of defence urges residents to make homemade petrol bombs in district of Kyiv (25 Feb)
Plus all those firearms and ammo they were handing out yesterday. Ukrainians learn quick.
Rachel Levine, JC. Google her.
You really have been asleep, haven’t you?
Some people might even take legal action against that type of defamation.
Which it certainly is.
Very stupid of you.
However, I’m not one of those people because you’re just a silly old jabbed irrelevence.
I now find you a sad, angry man. Angry at your own weakness and striking out at all and sundry.
How long have you got?
And even baker van truckies don’t use the word K..nt, even if it is mispelled. As if it makes a different.
You are pathetic.

Which is perfectly fine, so long as they’re Americans.

google it you mean- disgusting creature; the US really has become a disgusting parody of itself.
I also think the whole Putin boogie man thing is an attempt to take people’s minds off the attempted sell by the miserable western political class to the WEF
Tell you what Struth, sue me. Lawyer up and sue me. Don’t threaten, just do it.
Recall the several times you’ve made racist comments about me, you piece of shit? That’s grounds for a suit and you know what, I’ll fucking grind you the ground financially before its all over. You’ll be eating dirt biccies.
So.
With the new rules, am I allowed to go to the pub for a beer in Queensland?
(Unvaccinated, of course.)
Me. Not the beer.
I’m waiting for the inevitable day when Brandon is nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
All he has to do is get Zelensky out of there, appear to negotiate a settlement with Putin and voila. He already ended the long running war in Afghanistan, if he can now avert WW3 he’s a shoo in.
O’Bama got one, why shouldn’t Joe get one too? 😉
Really? And what is the plan for actually doing that? Will Tony Abbot be air-dropped into Putin’s private Dacha to shirtfront him – for real this time? 😀
Can’t wait for Top Gun 2
“You broke the hard deck rules”

LOL – don’t be surprised when various hitlerist imbeciles try the same stunt here or in other “western liberal democracies”. Which they inevitably will, as they wont be able to help themselves (PTP).
Goose Morristeen, horseface and that fat mop headed imbecile are probably “wargaming” it right now in venOztralia, the land of the wrong white crowd and the ol’ Fart.
Time for some Bite Coinage. 😕
[Just no.]
Realpolitik.
Apart from some short, cleverly edited videos of rolling tanks and trucks, one out-of-control tank, some explosions of independently unconfirmed origin, distant smoke columns and one or two damaged (by what?) buildings… is there any real, in-your-face evidence of actual violence in Ukraine?
You know.. like if there was an actual war happening?
You know, even if the pools of blood and body parts were pixellated, it would have been OK for uploading to YouTube, even Rumble or BitChute..
Banal, trite, panic-mongering, so-called commentary from vested interests and the always-ethical MSM has succeeded in emptying the streets of Kyiv.
I’ll admit to that.
But no evident violence… not a sausage.. that I can see.
A few crying babushkas aren’t as convincing, are they?
The beauty of Kyiv central district and monuments, devoid of lots of people, on those long livestreams is lovely an’all but… but…where’s the violence?
Where’s the destruction and the whistling of MIGs and their missiles hitting military targets, the explosions and their propaganda filming by patriotic Ukrainians’ ubiquitous mobile phones?
Am I the only one who’s missed all the action?
Is it possible that we… gasp!… are being sold a pup?
The World stock markets certainly appear to have cottoned-on that some high quality, highly aromatic bullshit was being sold to the punters and that, maybe, just maybe, this catastrophe is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Um struth,
Please only go to a no win no pay guy.
Don’t pay by the hour.
Cassie Of Sydney:
If the idea of punishment is to re educate the offender and society at large, I think it would work.
What would have happened to the idiot if he’d been let out on bail the same day?
Oh. that’s neat struth. From the legal threat- realizing it would be foolhardy -you’re trying to turn it around into a little bit of joke, you jokester. Just remember what I’m saying. If you see a crowd don’t plough into them with the bread van because you’re not accepted as a serious intellectual, you redneck doofus.
Dover, I upticked Cassie’s post at 4.41pm.
Here’s the thing.
It was 14 upticks before.
After I clicked, it was 16 upticks.
My question is, do I have magical upticking powers?
Chiple Jay news is a goldmine. Heard that lumpen blockhead Morristeen bloviating at midday about how it was time to make the Putin experience the west’s sanctimonious self righteous outrage first hand – “in the hip pocket where it will really hurt him”.
A mouse, just seemingly out of reach, screeching incoherently at a hippo (and preferably a Colombian one).
And the power is still ON.
Whenever Zelensky leaves Ukraine, he’ll live a life of luxury that most in the west of Ukraine could dream of.

MULLETFEST RETURNS TO KURRI KURRI (26 Feb)
It’s what I love about Newcastle. We embrace our inner bogan with great gusto.

Where’s the story about the doomsday machine you talking about yesterday?
Makka:
My point exactly, Makka.
You have oligarch upticking powers. Are you by Ukrainian by chance?
Google the sanctions exemptions.
Watch the Biden press conference from Friday morning Sydney time.
Global banks can still engage with Russia.
All energy & energy related transaction are exempt.
All ag & ag related transactions are exempt.
Do you realise how wide a net that is?
The Eurojellybacks 1/2 paid for Nordstream 2 , while saving a shitload by underfunding their obligations to NATO while the US picked up their tab. Then plowed those saved Billions into enabling the Russian treasury to swell. Trump tore strips off the Euroclownshow , made them cower like guilty school kids caught smoking. But that was crude, crass, uncouth , calling out prior Administrations for allowing themselves to be rolled by such a bunch of sweet talking snake oil salesmen. Now Putin shafts them with Realpolitik of the energy economy and showcases their spineless leadership. Hopefully the Ukraine people can join the dots.
Was’nt it Margaret Thatcher who during a previous bloody conflict said that every one should have weapons to defend themselves . Did I hear right Australia will supply “non lethal”support to Ukraine?
No. I do though. How many do you want?
If our beloved braindead lamestream meeja j’ismists are screeching that there is, then most likely not (i.e. a 91.3% chance that nothing remotely like what they claim is happening).
The entire sham strikes me as a beat up. The old “if they said the sky was blue, you’d walk outside and check” factor.
Never let a (manufactured) crisis go to waste, Cats.
Ftb, I also read that the Italian PM ensured luxury goods were exempt too.
Imagine being some poor solider in western Ukraine.
Or one of these punters allegedly being conscripted.
Pure fodder to be used by oligarchs to ensure their money keeps flowing.
Stix, do you have picture of Putin with a candle beside it?
Meanwhile at Stixs’ house
Also while their enthusiasm is nice having civvies shooting at soldiers ensures a lot of non combatant civvies end up dead in the long run.
Unless the cunning plan is to parachute in a crack brigade of Australian war crimes mongs to redefine civilian and combatant and get the Russkies to prosecute their own soldiers for the next decade.
