Russia fought with the Brits and French against the Central Powers and lost their country in doing so. Prior to that the only military actions it conducted were against near neighbors to establish a port in the Baltic (against Sweden) and Black Sea (against the Ottomans) and against the Polish-Lithuanian Cwlth in its immediate West. None of this was out of the ordinary for England, France, or Prussia. The belligerent in WW1 was Germany whatever the General Staff thought.
What’s the weather like in Delaware?
That’s kinder than my planned Grigory quip, C.L. 🙂

Bruce you were Maidan and Poreshenko fan boy. It’s good that you’ve left that nonsense behind but this sort of stuff is an extension of that. Zelensky is just another installed puppet. As Khrushchev was to Stalin, Zelensky is to Poreshenko. An installed figure to give the fixed-regime fake legitimacy after the “troubles” (and tasks) of the violent revolutionary strong men are finished and the dust has cleared. Declaring Poreshenko a pro Russian traitor was Zelensky’s “Secret Speech” moment.
There hasn’t been a legitimate election in Ukraine since 2010 – when they voted for the”wrong” candidate and “the west” went in and fixed their little mistake. Every single thing since in that failed anti-democratic puppet state has been as tightly controlled as fake elections in Iraq.
I mean, how can they both be shelling the eastern regions, telling everyone they’re as Ukraine as Kiev and are not allowed to separate, but tell everyone that their votes don’t count towards the presidency? As long as those regions remain in Ukraine but have no political power, the Ukraine “president” is definitionally illegitimate. That is the paradox, perhaps it was a faustian bargain to make the post maidan junta work, but it is unmovable and has killed the country stone cold dead.
A basement is a closed system.
The weather is whatever you want it to be.
Indeed.
Calli, you are a devil.
I enjoyed Gez’ comment waaaay up thread about the nonsense of 1 in 100 year floods.
Landscape changes and with it, runoff coefficients. What might have been a fully absorbent forest floor may have become grassed paddocks beaten down by livestock. Or worse, concrete and roofs.
It’s really just a way to get attention, and if used often enough becomes another “meh” moment.
So the dills in the media add another zero to make it sound super scary.
“Our Values” Ukraine has a Ministry of Truth.
From the 2019 election:
Here’s Ukraines Ministry of Information Policy deputy chair’s stance on freedom:
Nah. Just a bit naughty from time to time.
My brother was whinging today about a guy he meets on his walk every day. Pre dawn. Always says the same thing, “Early isn’t it?”.
Told my brother to answer, “Yep. Gotta get back to the crypt before sunrise.”.
Oh no !
A VACUUM BOMB.
The Russians used a vacuum bomb.
FFS.
There hasn’t been a legitimate election in Ukraine since 2010 – when they voted for the”wrong” candidate and “the west” went in and fixed their little mistake.
Just like the USA ten years later.
My hunch, and I can’t prove this, is Zelensky’s marching orders were to goad Russia into attacking them to give Washington the war it so desperately wants. I’m sorry Russia took the bait btw.
How long before the vacuum bomb goes the way of “The Ghost” & “The Reaper”.
Scotty should send them some rain bombs.
2sticks you answered my earlier question- the current government in Kiev is a continuation of Obama’s puppet one installed in 2014. Thanks.
I’m inclined to think things are neither going better nor worse than expected.
Agree Dover.
We have zero idea of what is going on.
Apart from the moves in Russian bonds & currency.
And the flow of gas.
Everything else is up for debate unless you are over there.
Saw on the Nein news an interview with a kiddies football director. The flood had lifted all the astroturf into funky concentric rings, and unusable. His opinion: “It’s horrendous, it’s heartbreaking.”
They’ve got 1100 juniors who won’t be able to play there for a few weeks. That’s not heartbreaking. Heartbreaking is people’s houses being washed away.
Kids missing a few games of footy. Jeeeeesus.
Also for Famer Gez,
You can download the city’s flood history from the Lismore city web site. It goes up to 2018.
As river guages are still currently reading over 12m, the flooding yesterday had to be over 13m AHD.
There is no flood that high in the history back to 1870, although 1974 and 1954 got close. What is amazing is that it has taken more than 150 years to have a “1 in 100 year” flood. So it was going to happen within a decade as it was overdue.
Sounds like a translation for a Thermobaric or Fuel-Air Bomb.
Given the idea of such a weapon is generate massive overpressure and that a partial vacuum tends to occur as the ignited air rarifies post-detonation, it is not uncommon to misname them as such.
Such weapons have been common types of Russian / Warsaw Pacair-droppable ordnance since the late 1970s. The RPO-A ‘Schmel’ rocket-assisted flamethrower is a handheld infantry weapon that uses a similar type of warhead. The common-as-candy RPG-7 has the thermobaric TGB-7V warhead as one of its available ammunition natures.
Nasty stuff, all round.
Warsaw Pact
Winston, my only criticism of TIK is he gets a little pedantic regarding economic terminology.
Gives his critics something to bog him down with.
That aside, how the hell does he put out videos of such high quality, referenced, time stamped & reply to chunks of the comments?
It’s like he’s doing an audible thesis every week or so.
PhD students are lazy or soft or stupid compared to TIK.
Peace in our time.
Rex, I’m not saying they don’t exist.
I’m saying what’s the odds of the Russians using one?
Apologies if my reference to the other debunked stories implied otherwise.
That’s interesting Dover. Those creeps loves wars as long as they don’t have to actually fight them. That’s what the ghettos are for.
One of my primary school teachers said ‘with friends like America who needs enemies?’
Yesterday Aaron Mate said that he’d had reports from Grayzone sources the AK’s that were being handed out in Ukraine were almost immediately being collected by gangs in various towns & cities.
He said he couldn’t verify it but don’t believe that every weapon being handed out to the punters for the benefit of western TV is going to be kept by said punter.
Shouldn’t the esteemed colonel be back in Ukraine fighting the Russians?
You’re a gang in some Ukraine smaller city.
You see the government handing out AK’s.
Do you let the punters keep them, giving them a means to tell you fuck off when it comes to stand over money?
Or do you do the smart thing & collect them?
Keep the ones you want & sell the surplus.
They don’t give a shit about who’s in change.
As long as they can continue to shake down the punters.
Who’s going to stop them?
The cops who’ve let them get away with it for the past 40 years?
Seriously.
JC, the last person Vindman screws over is Leon.
May you live in interesting times.
Rex:
And there’s the critical issue that echoed through the entire campaign. The armoured divisions kept outpacing the Motorised divisions and the infantry in general, walked. This left the Motorised units to close the encirclements which leaked badly.
It also meant the Motorised units took a lot more casualties and they didn’t seem to get the required equipment and personnel replacements they needed.
This is just personal opinion but IIRC there were only about a dozen Motorised divisions when the campaign really needed about forty of them. Germany of course couldn’t supply the fuel or trucks. There was no point in leaving some of the Panzergrenadier Battalions from the Panzer units to assist the encirclement because they were needed to protect the tanks – that was their job.
The hurry up and move forward orders meant their were large numbers of Soviets who were able to escape into the Pripet Marshes and continue the struggle.
Perhaps a dozen Cavalry divisions would have made a difference.
Was it a Dyson?
FTB:
Are they talking about a Fuel/Air explosive, or is it the inevitable result of using a vacuum cleaner to suck up water?
ASIC has sent 10 ex Crown board members “no action” letters.
Hang on?
If Fat Andy gets a “no action” letter, it means no one can ever be done for saying they are an independent director when they are not.
He was caught out lying about it in an email to James Packer.
Lord and master. Same as me.
That’s pure coincidence, of course.
The Duran have someone in Kiev speaking to them and he says more or less the same thing. Says people are also conducting paybacks, etc.

Our esteemed Lord and Master, McClown (SBUH), took us to Level 2 restrictions yesterday, which entail, inter alia, all kids from eight years upwards wearing masks. It’s only for a “modest” time, he told his acolytes: perhaps “only a month”.
Today, he decrees that our hated G2G pass will remain … probably in perpetuity!
Love to see him make that stick when, ultimately, the state of emergency is declared to be over.
Cool, good to see someone else pays attention to those little ‘throw away lines’ –

Dover, nothing like a get square armed with a government issued AK.
No surprises there. Sort of expect an announcement about grains as well. I suspect the ripple effect will see consequences beyond what many expect, similar to the Canadian bank seizures. Many of the alternatives are already in place, all it takes is for them to be used.
Really, he fucked over Leon ? What an evil piece of shit.
You mean really go?

If Soros and the Clintons are against Putin, the latter can’t be all bad.
I suspect it might depend on the nature of the target to be destroyes- ODAB-500 fuel-air bombs will have a greater effect on infantry and light vehicles with overhead protection (bigger, longer-lasting blast effects in a confined space than an equivalent weight HE bomb) or when striking in built-up areas and fortifications.
If Russian infantry have been using RPO-As to clear Ukrainian troops out of fighting positions, then you might see similar and widespread reports of their use.
FTB:
He must have an amazing research staff is all I can say.
Is that Leon the Professional?
If Soros and the Clintons are against Putin, the latter can’t be all bad.
my thoughts as well- because Soros and Billary are evil personified
How come not one single journalist has been able to attach themselves to a Ukrainian unit close to the fighting.
Is that Leon the Professional?
Nah, a black dude from New Orleans who didn’t leave Larry’s house.
I also forgot to mention that the Ukrainians have access to the same aerial and ground munition types as the Russians. So if they choose to use them to mess up a Russian advance or captured position, then general confusion and a savvy propaganda effort will see the invaders get blamed.
Or maybe even vicki-verka if the Russians got in first, and then said Ukraine did it…

The most frightening thing I’ve read for a while.
I think it’s time to get into the bunker.
A) Too cold. Also the Spring Thaw and Raspusitsa mud season is nearly upon us. You don’t want your hair and designer gear muddy.
B) Don’t know the language.
C) The bar service outside Kiev is appalling.
D) Plausible deniability is a great thing to have when your whoppers get exposed as being whoppers. It is kind of hard to handwave your claims warcrimes and atrocities away as mere rumours, when your minders all say “Lolwut? That’s bullshit!” when asked about the alleged events afterwards…
Just like Vietnam, where practically no reporter ever bothered venturing out beyond the safest areas of Saigon, and just reported the rumours doing the bar rounds. And the few who did were often no less dishonst, just more crazy-brave.
Thanks, Megan. Excellent (and amusing) suggestions.
Paybacks?
In that part of the world?
Shirley not.
Meanwhile, let us not forget that Putin was the US’s preferred candidate to succeed Yeltsin.
As ex-KGB, he was regarded as a safe pair of hands to follow the rather erratic Boris.
The old gang in happier times.
Does anyone have any reliable source on how the war is going or even have a good handle? I find it hard to believe anything at the moment because it’s likely to be propaganda.
Funny : Someone mentioned the Ruble fell 30% and should now be called the Rubble. 🙂
Or that all those who thought they were installing their puppet soon discovered he’d long been fashioning those strings into nooses.
They closed the stock market in Moscow but Exchange traded funds were being priced in Europe and the US. It’s down 25%.
If you had investments in the Russian market, the indicator would be that you’re downsky 50%. That’s stock and the un-hedged currency risk combined. Nice day.
That would have been c2006 Roger- I remember someone joked at work that the KGB was back in charge. I’m certain Putin was a major improvement over that brain damaged drunk.
I love the way that bugmen sitting on Twitter in leafy suburbs in their uber rich low crime anglo countries simply extrapolate their own world to the entire world.
“Ukraine is about equivalent to North Shore Sydney. They have trannies and everything, I’m going to lazily imagine how things are in my world and assume it’s the same everywhere….No I don’t want to hear about the eight year long civil war, string of presidents fleeing to exile, armed militias that run the half country or the oligarchy either!”.
Latest Megan Kelly interview is with Robert O’ Neil and Dakota Meyer. Discussing their new book and Ukraine.
Meyer a Marine Medal of Honour winner and O’Neil the guy who shot Bin Ladin and also involved in the Captain Phillips ship hi jack saga.

No.
1) BTC is a decentralised network, which means, so long as at least ONE of the thousands of network computers, world wide, are ‘up’, the system is up.
2) BTC can be transacted via mobile phone, or, indeed even on paper
3) The only way to truly kill BTC is to take the internet down, permanently – and if that happens, given the ‘interconnectedness’ of everything (power grids, traffic systems, food distribution, air traffic, banking etc etc etc, you have a lot more pressing needs than what happened to your BTC
If you can tolerate the more naked propagandising (Ukros bad, Russians liberating heroes) and labelling, that southfront.org website linked upthread seems to be OK.
Because despite the partisan outbursts (blame the authors and editoring), the summaries seem impartial enough.
Simply put, Kiev is partially blockaded, Mariupol is not secure, much back-and-forth in the Donetsk and the effort to isolate and capture Kharkov is doing poorly.
On the same day AUSTRAC announced it had started proceedings against Crown, ASIC sent 10 former directors “no action” letters, even though what AUSTRAC is pursuing was while they were directors.
Australia needs regime change.
Duk
Governments, at least the US knows who owns BTC. There’s nothing secret about it.
Yep…Victory Day Parade, Moscow, 2006.
Just about when NATO was starting to get serious about Ukrainian membership, which efforts would by 2008 come to nought and be shelved until after the 2014 Maidan Revolution. No wonder Putin looks relaxed and comfortable at that stage!
Sorry, 2005.
Aside from the Russian advance on Kiev, their principal effort is in the south from north of the Crimea to the Donbass and establishing a land bridge to the former. They won’t give that up once the get it. They’re not interested in Western Ukraine, certainly not the Galician part near Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. I have no idea what their interest is in the northern half of East Ukraine, but given it has no significant ethnic Russian population they might not even care. But the south east is lost.
I hate it when you’re like that. 🙂
Geez Europe is a mess.
If it was a lap top you’d bin in & go down to the apple store.
So….If I donate some $ to Russia, will they freeze my bank accounts?
I thought Europe was an Apple product?
Flashy to the point of tackiness, overpriced and overhyped for its actual functionality, remarkably flexible in its commitments to its customers and downright dictatorial towards the small folk when it feels it can get away with it.
The last word in form over function…
Why would you donate to Russia?
They’re already getting $US700mill a day from energy sales.
Various Roman emperors or Napoleon?
Bugger! Forgot the 😉
Russians claim it’s been the mission all along.
RT:
That’s the guy the Duran has on. Gonzalo Lira.
“Russia’s Gazprom has announced a major gas deal with China with the construction of a new oil pipeline to supply 50 billion cubic meters a year to Beijing. They’re creating a separate economy.”
Russia’s economic ties with China and other Asian, middle eastern and African countries will only increase…thus isolating Russia even more from the west. Last week Putin, on the day of the invasion, hosted the PM of Pakistan Imran Khan. Russia still has strong ties with India, which refused to join in the West’s condemnation last week at the UN.
As David Starkey said, we are witnessing the rise of alternative empires. A weak America, with a rotting corpse in the WH, has just entrenched this reality.
As for the corporate activism against Russia in the last few days, economic, cultural and social, we see that already Russia has been kicked out of FIFA and big corporations are doing what they love to do….virtue signal……and cry and exclaim “quelle horreur” at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, yet it’s rather amusing because many of these same corporations are intricately tied up with China so it’ll be interesting to see what happens in the event of the inevitable scenario of China moving on Taiwan. I expect these corporates to apply the same standards to China…..but here’s the rub, that’ll will be very difficult for them because these same corporations are dependent on China. And not just that, given how the west has sent all of its manufacturing to China over the last two decades, in the event of a move on Taiwan, if we boycott Chinese made goods….we’re fucked….because western economies are far more dependent on China than Russia.
Can you imagine what special cocktail they’ll stick Joe with pre State of the Union?
Then think of all the poor suckers in dementia wards they’ve tested it on.
That’s it folks. There was a chance of avoiding nuclear war until this.
It’s bunker time . Putin will find it intolerable not to retaliate.

Correct, the blockchain algorithm in all cryptos is designed to ensure each transaction is verified exactly to a specific BTC or crypto account. That’s the whole point of the Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake parts of the blockchain.
Even if we assume that the NSA-created SHA-256 encryption algorithm does not have a backdoor, something no one has yet proven, any suitably legislated and motivated thieving government will be able to identify each transaction, its debit and credit side.
..and as they say.. the rest is mere formality.
zoe daniels and allegra spender, 2 of holmes-a court’s political sluts, declaring the recent floods are due to AGW. Ghastly slags. Some facts. These are terrible floods no doubt but are dwarfed by previous efforts. Lismore got 146.8mm on the 24/2/2022, that’s just under 5″. By comparison the East coast of Australia and particularly the Hunter Valley flooded every year from 1949 – 1955, with the 55 flood being the big one. In Singleton and the Hunter catchment on the 23/2/1955 11″ or 275mm fell. However the Australian record was at Crohamhurst, north of Brisbane and near the Glass house Mts, which recorded 907mm or 36″ on the 3/2/1893.
These rich spoilt kunts and brats like zoe and allegra and popgun are the scum of the Earth. I bet popgun has diesel generators at his $100 million house in Sydney so when they get their way and the lights go out his lights will stay on. The other 2 rich bitches will no doubt have their back-ups as well.
Not so fast Roger.
Europe and the EU account for around 45% of global GDP. That counts.
Russia is about the same as us- around 1.5% of global GDP.
Also, Russia will soon enough figure it’s better getting into bed with the west than the Han.
Let’s be patient as fuckface Putin won’t be there forev.
The climate loonies (includes Ostraya) versus the sane.
bull.
Civilization would collapse without Stolly.
The government will find out from the seller. Try going into a federal crime commission hearing or an interview with the American gestapo if you’re selling BTC for cash.
Russia will pursue the same course without Putin just as US policy, whoever is President, is the same on matters of doctrine.
Incorrect, I have bought crypto for cash, and paper stored it, with the seller having no idea who I am.
At most, if done as above, the government can look at a certain wallet address and see whats in it, but they cant tell who owns the private key to that address unless you used a trackable funds source to buy it (eg a crypto exchange or your bank acct). If you buy for cash, and paper store, they have no idea who owns the keys.
Really Dover. Russia will never tilt west?
It will tilt West when we stop poking it.
Duk
The seller would have to send the BTC somewhere, no?
Also , AUSTRAC would have a record or your withdrawals presuming it’s not done in dribs and drabs. Even small, but regular cash withdrawals attract peering eyes.
The Victorian’s built an empire that spanned the world, and it took a certain type of society and a certain type of people to do that and to sustain it. Whatever that was, religious, pious, moral and mature, callous and indifferent, lacking empathy, whatever it was they were it.
Then their children and grandchildren – the Edwardians, flush with luxuries and the best education and office jobs and leisure time got hold of it. And they were degenerate retards. And I think fundamentally they simply didn’t know how to sustain what had been built. They didn’t have the same grit and moxy, intellectual discipline. Their parents – the ruling class grew up tough, they grew up soft and cosmopolitan. Once the Victorians were gone as a force, these idiots ran around like pansies larping at being international giants but were really destroying everything and setting up the world for catastrophe and how.
Here we are again.
Lots of Russians may not like Putin but the majority are quite patriotic about their country. The west is pushing the wrong buttons if it wants to win hearts and minds.
I beg to differ. Maple syrup is Canada’s second best export.
The best is hard-working, lovely young women who speak French with a distinct ‘Calgary Stampede’ accent.
And now der entry from Ukraine, and folks zees ees a really brave situation.

That photo above was US Asst. Secretary of State Victoria Nuland walking around passing out “cookies” (actually bread but “cookies” was better PR) to the Maidan revolutionaries in Dec 2013.

She’s in back in the same job under the biden regime and oh look, here’s Ukraine back on again!
And guess who she’s married to:

Lol neocons going to neocon.
When I say post 2014 Ukraine is a neocon HQ, I mean post 2014 Ukraine is literally a neocon HQ.
A more optimistic view –
Forget the Great Reset. Embrace the Great Escape.
“Lots of Russians may not like Putin but the majority are quite patriotic about their country. The west is pushing the wrong buttons if it wants to win hearts and minds.

Modern Victoria in a nutshell.
I pull out of our drive and a Safety & Compliance (SCO) vehicle goes past.
These are VicRoads mobile officers who can check trucks and anyone else for not following rules and codes.
Up the road is a double mattress that has come off a load and is covering most of the opposite lane.
The road safety vehicle drives straight past the road hazard.
I stop to drag the sodden heavy stinking bed off the road so nobody hits it at speed in the dark.
The driver of the vehicle who lost the mattress would no doubt cop a hefty fine and a lecture on safety for having an unsecured load from the same bloke who drove straight past the hazard.
What a champion.
Every country these people try to ‘help’ gets wrecked. They are the scum of the earth.
Why have I never seen or heard of these!
Can you mail me some? 🙂
Pretty much what I hear from Russians too. Also doesn’t change the geography that dictates how important the area of the Ukraine is to their defense. Most of the FSU were and are buffer states between the western powers of France, Germany, and the UK. Add on how important Kiev is to Russian orthodox and I doubt too many power players in Russia would make terrible different choices on the whole.
1) Yes, the seller sends it to my paper wallet, which the govt can see but has NO idea who owns the keys
2) AUSTRAC can ‘view’ my cash withdrawals all they like – theres been a shit ton of them – I’ve largely paid for everything in cash for 10years or more*. What they dont know is what i did with said cash .

Ahh Townsville, problem is not much of it isn’t in some sort of floodplain. If you ever fly in or out take a look. Otherwise you are building on granite slopes and the hard metamorphic aureole around it which has it’s own problems.
Townsville floods had government negligence and pushy developer Lancini’s hands all over them. Mr Lancini lobbied earlier mayor Tony Mooney (This guy has skin of teflon) to rezone a flood plain between Oonoonba and Murray with 3m spot heights on topo maps. Approval was given and he moved in to build commercial development while another mob got into housing. I wont go into the area around an old abattoir that now has apartments on it but anyone that lived around here knew the whole area down to Cluden Racecourse was a giant flood plain, last time I saw it 6ft under was after Cyclone Tessie and the Bruce Hwy was cut to near Alligator ck. We also knew it would go under again sooner or later and it will again.
The second part was the cover up run by the Council with Mayor Jenny Hill who happened to be Mooneys right hand woman at an earlier stage. She also has skin of teflon and friends very high up in George st. The council in conjunction with Sun Water stinging from the town very nearly running out of water during the preceding dry season (in a carbon copy of Brisbane in 2011) held on to the water way too long and released it in one almighty bang just before critical mass on dam wall. Problem was some of the areas that used to take the excesses like this are now shopping centres commercial districts and suburbs. Also the new arterial bypass to the port from the Finders Hwy at Wulguru was improperly engineered blocking water escaping into Cleveland Bay. Whoops. Most of the houses in Oonoonba and Railway Estate are highset, same Aikenvale, Cranbrook and even Rassy to Kelso. Pretty well much anything older. They didn’t do too bad. All the newer stuff is lowset on concrete slabs and mostly in areas their forebears chose not to build in.
The wash up like the Grantham and Brisbane investigations the truth was swept under the carpet and no one was to blame…
That said fully agree on the spirit of your comment. I walked around my place pre buying with a GPS then looked at the old flood maps etc. Even in 2019 the water got into the street and into my drive way but the house is still another half a metre higher and was duly sandbagged as precaution.
Came by it via Powerline blog. Good article on Ukraine by Victor Davis Hanson on American Greatness.
One of the paragraphs below :
“Now we hear that midterm Biden has played the crisis wonderfully. The surreal progressive take on this crisis is that Winston Biden has corn-popped the “killer” Putin, metaphorically taken “the bully” behind the proverbial gym and given him a whomping, slammed his head on the global lunch counter, and in Biden’s deterrent fashion, called him a chump, one of the dregs, a junkie, fat, and a lying dog-faced pony soldier—and capped it all off with “You ain’t white!”
In a nutshell, JC, the world is not bipolar, as we assumed in the Cold War, but multipolar, with c. 8 different civilisations, with their underlying religious & cultural beliefs and the identities resulting from them, vying for theri place in the world.
The liberal, new world order view that religious and cultural identities would dissolve in the face of growing prosperity and globalisation under US leadership – Fukuyama in a nutshell – underestimates the power and longevity of these older civilisations.
He can order all he wants, but if you store it right (= YOU and only you hold the private keys – think of it as a password ) then they cannot enforce it.
The Duk spent quite bit of time in ops rooms in the sandbox – and came to the conclusion that ALL governments are about violent co-ercion, even the ‘cuddly’ ones like NZ and Canada (tell me if I was wrong) and so started ‘distancing’ himself from ‘the system’.
COVID jab injury payouts could be more than last 40 years combined of UK’s vax damage program
A total of 920 claims are currently pending, which would amount to £35 million more than the 40-year total in just over one year since the COVID jab rolled out.

Your figures work out to about $80,000 per claim….so for the 30 million gene-jabbed, that’s 2400 billion pounds…AT LEAST. Any wonder theses scumbags and their paid deflectors want it to all go away?
Especially damaging now that Boris’ Russian oligarchs can’t help him out!
Yeah, this guy wrote a book on that about 15 years ago, when it was easier.

Great to hear.
Are you also angry about having to stop at Red Lights, not being able to take a piss in the street, and not being allowed to burn rubbish in the backyard?:
Because the bottom line here, is that you accept the reasons why you have been asked to be vaccinated.

On a lot of the footage coming out of Ukraine, an exArmy mate reckons if it is old and beat up it could be Ukrainian equipment. He has already seen a Ukrainian T64 kill passed off as Russian kill. The Russian stuff may be old but has been upgraded.
Apparently a warm winter has constricted everyone including Ukrainians to harder routes, in his words Ukraine is a swamp and the ground never really froze over. The Russians will change their tactics and sound like they already have.
Apparently Ukrainians been using white phos as well, setting up gun lines in schools and digging in around where bomb shelters are. I am able to forgive a little of the behaviours like not knowing basics of armed combat rules in regards to schools when last week you were a truck driver but my mate tells me there are conventions on use of white phos shells. Ukrainian Pres better be very careful about screaming war crimes, especially when he has given arms to jailed criminals which have the potential to go horribly pear shaped if any counter offensive is able to be mounted
They’re coming after John Ruddick for an uncontroversial statement.
Last time I checked, stopping at red lights, taking a piss in the street and burning rubbish in the backyard aren’t experimental medical procedures.

This is the region where the occupation is being established.
Yeah, the best indicator is whether they have the white Z painted on them, which seems to be the identifier the Russians chose to minimize own goals. Sometimes it’s just a Z others a Z in a square or a triangle.
There is apparently a 50 or so page doing the rounds in Russia documenting Ukrainian war crimes. Truth of it? No idea. They did recently shell civilian areas though, and have been filmed placing armor and artillery around schools and residential areas.
So far I’ve not seen any evidence of the Russians using stuff like thermobarics, and generally they appear to be going out of their way to avoid civvy casualties. E.g. the recent video of someone doing a drive by molotov, the Russians let her go instead of shooting her.
Maybe the truth of it all will come out over the next few months, but I’m not holding my breath we’ll hear any of it.
Of course ‘Z’s’ cannot be painted on at will.
“They’re coming after John Ruddick for an uncontroversial statement.”
A truthful statement by Ruddick. It is complicated.
There’s a definite theme.

I figure it’s also why they want whole families jabbed to death; all those payouts, all those properties with eventually no one left to inherit …
When people talk about ‘costs’, I always think of where those ‘costs’ End Up after being churned through many hands.
Exactly Bluey. Been a few things come out in the last few days I didn’t know like Ukraine and Russia are nearly equal on the World Corruption index and rate just above most African countries. Successive Presidents aren’t shy of jailing journalists, dissidents, political parties and shutting down media they don’t like. Hence I am very cautious given the current state of affairs and information campaign.
I appreciate their Government has its back against the wall and probably thinks this is a good idea but think foreign fighters and criminals are a bad idea that has been visited a number of times in history with some spectacularly bad results.

Ukraine is situated in a bad place geographically, that’s just the way it is.
Russia won’t tolerate a hostile state on it’s borders, the same as the US won’t.
That’s been the case since the Monroe Doctrine of 1823.
Respecting that Doctrine, Russia sold Alaska to the US.
Remember, the Monroe Doctrine applies to the Western Hemisphere, half the World.
So, it wouldn’t matter if Russia was more corrupt that the whole of Africa

Thanks for the explanation. I think there’s a bit of Sam and Francis in the world. They were both right.
Sam is right to suggest that we are not all the same and cultures were not going to mesh into one western style Liberal order. Francis was right to suggest the world would move away from communism and it has- hugely so.
Credlin interviews the green mayor of Lake Macquarie re the bastardry of the closure of Eraring; neither have a fucking clue; but then the mayor is meeting with the swine kean tomorrow about job losses which should be interesting since kean has no idea how many jobs will be lost.

I take it you don’t like Kean because he’s a bald idiot zombie? No kidding, how did the Libs choose a bloke with a head like that?
Because it is the key incendiary ingredient in smoke rounds.
It is piss-easy to have a cry that an artillery unit firing obscuration (especially in and around a built up area) is doing it for the meany-poobum purpose of deliberately burning people and things. Particularly when you add in that standard practice worldwide for smoke missions is to mix in a few HE rounds during the barrage to kick up the ground, make some extra dust and potentially stymie anyone trying to sneak through between the landed smoke rounds.
Wut?
Did you get another batch of tainted gypsum?
Cutting that stuff with sherbet is a crime. A terribly cruel thing to do, I tells ya! 🙁
Rasey – My point is if it doesn’t have a Z on it it probably isn’t a Russian vehicle, or at least not one from the last several days. There seem to be differences in paint tone too, but I’m not as sure about that.
And everything (ostensibly) looted and used by the militiamen in Donetsk have red lines painted on their sides. Almost like how some strategy vidya games identify different platers using the same factions…
As lefties go she isn’t too bad. Streets better than the wymminses mayor of Newcastle.

Halford McHeadCase expounds his modified theory on the “World Island” and its Heartland. Listen to his wisdom ye ignorant peasants!
Rex – I figured that some bright guy in staff realized that there was going to be a problem if Russians and Ukrainians were using very similar vehicles. Seeing that Russia expected to hugely outnumber the Ukrainian armour and soft tops the Russians would have more of an issue with jumpy tank gunners. Seems to be a very appropriate last minute identifier, easy to apply quickly, especially since the view was the whole thing would be over in a few days.

Kean is not just a LINO but aligned with the faux ex lib sheila candidates running against the libs in inner city seats: skanks like zoe daniels and allegra spender. He is a typical inner city green. As such he is very dangerous because the LNP is so weak that arseholes like him get their way. For the punters there is no-where to go: the liars and the filth are at least honest about their intentions and I guess kean, who runs the state libs, is to.

From lizzie at other Cat:

If there is anything of agricultural or industrial value concentrated in the areas between Kharkov and Chernobyl, that would explain the Russians’ concerted efforts there.
Useless bit of info, Putin was on the Mikhail Lermontov when it sunk near Picton in NZ. Not many people know that.
Ukraine produces some nice looking girls too, this is an achievement not to be sneezed at.

Go away, Grigs.
So let me ask you this, cohenite:
Since Ukraine is so wealthy, why is it the people there live in poverty?
Frank. Until they open their mouths.
Hey, JC.
Here’s a place for you!
Cheap … so you could afford to spend some dosh doing it up!
(In all seriousness, if I had the money, I’d have it in a heartbeat. Fabulous place.)
Basic detective work can resolve the owner. The owner of a recipient address might, for example, be discovered by querying those who they subsequently make payments to.
You’re being much too nice about Kean, those are his good points. He’s just anther reason why not to vote SFL. Where do you find this sort of slime. Everywhere I look Australia is full of them.
Rex, from a discussion here recently I was following I think the Dneiper was the reason for the thrust. Easily defended from counter attack and mostly ethnic Russian east of. Apparently Kiev being taken to unseat the Government.
Matches other commentary I have seen online, apparently any further west would be a much harder nut to crack.
Since Ukraine is so wealthy, why is it the people there live in poverty?
Commie history donut.
Unless, of course, they buried the BTC and didnt make any ‘subsequent payments’, or , if they did, they then transferred the balance of the account to *another* offline created paper wallet

Wow, honestly HTF did the Pilot not do time? One of the Soviet Crew spent time in hard labour and the poor bastard wasn’t even at fault.
Wife out walking dog, meets mother and daughter out walking. They’re from the Northern rivers area. Their house is ok but daghter has no job, building washed away. They lost their dog up there and all they wanted to do is pat and cuddle our dog. I should have asked if I learned to bark? Maybe not.
Commie history?
That ended 32 years ago, what about all the wealth you listed on this page?
Rokdok the Captain is always responsible. The pilot should have done time but the NZ justice system is as corrupt as ours.
First time I have ever seen anyone claim that total government funding for private schools exceeds that given to state schools.
Am pretty convinced that is untrue.
In fact abc article the other day said public schools get around $14k per student and private around $11

They are probably referring to Commonwealth funding only. This is a regular tactic of the teachers’ unions, to quietly ignore the state funding of state schools.
Andhra Man Bleeds To Death After Pharma Students Perform Sex Reassignment Surgery Watching YouTube Video
Vijaywada: A man, who decided to change his sex, died due to excessive bleeding after two pharmacy students attempted to perform sex reassignment surgery by watching a YouTube video. The bizarre incident took place recently in Nellore town of Andhra Pradesh.
According to a report in Times of India, the sex change operation was performed in a room of a hotel by two B Pharma students of a Nellore–based private college, who have been arrested by the police.
