Zipster – I think the Russians are in a real bind with coverage. A lot of initial sentiment was that this was about liberating our brothers in Ukraine. Unfortunately those brothers, it turns out, rather disliked being liberated. The end result seems to be that media coverage is being restricted to state-owned outlets and social media conduits are being turned off. It’ll be interesting to see what happens after all the young Russians lose their Facebook and TikTok access. They’re unlikely to be happy about it.
The poor NYT journo who died today is sadly a real martyr, much as I dislike NYT. I doubt either side wants western journos poking around.

That’s right; Andrews is a Catholic, he just hasn’t attended mass for many years, promotes abortion to birth legislation, championed euthanasia legislation because of dear old dad, legislated forcing priests to breech the seal of the confessional, is making faith schools employ people who openly disagree with the tenets of those faiths.
And made it a criminal offence for a Catholic health professional to decline to help someone find an abortionist.
It certainly wouldn’t have helped her.

Fertiliser:
From what I can tell most got their orders in early and had them delivered.
Depends on what fert you’re talking about. Certainly most had their phosphatic fertilisers bought but a lot of urea was not bought because we were told supplies were plentiful and the price wouldn’t have a big rise. None of that proved to be true.

He is currently married to Cheryl Hynes (the actress who played Larry David’s wife in “Curb Your Enthusiasm”).
Or that might be shaky after she publicly disowned his comments declaring vax mandates as worse than the holocaust. That is pretty rich coming from him, given his father was a Nazi sympathiser.
She is wife Mk3.

If the Russian military is so shit why NATO?
You’ll find talking to real Russians that they are not especially fond of Ukrainians and almost have a story to tell about run ins with them or someone they know.
Russian went to rescue the Donbas and the people there who are basically Russian. I dont think there is much interest in the west, other then chasing the militias.
It’s on Russian news that kadyrov has asked to be put in charge of Ukraine. good god.
Sorry Tim.
I skipped a generation.
But the point remains.
I don’t think any Kennedy should raise the holocaust after Joe ran interference for Adolph from 1933 until well after WW2 started.

Yes yes he can formally excommicate Andrews and then…

Fair enough we all carry faith based assumptions but if we’re going to discuss this the first premise to establish is what constitutes reliable information. If no-one can do that then there is no point anyone here making any claims whatsoever about the conflict.
Indeed. At this time, the only thing that can be said with any confidence is that things are neither as good nor as bad as both sides are saying.
No Tiktok, no Instagram, no Facebook and…no teeth jobs!
Hold tight.
He will get accused of sexism, racism and a bunch of other isms tomorrow morning and come back tomorrow night with a “went too far” apology.
A case of the apple not falling far from the tree, as I recall.
Total Catch 22.
No matter what happens, Andrews will beat them up.
.1 Let’s say three reports do come out of confession. “Aha! Only three! Too little, too late. How many others are they hiding? Tip of the iceberg.”
.2 No reports. “They are still covering it up!”
My teeth come from Germany.
Every meal is like refighting the Somme.
The intention of excommunication is to encourage the subject to repent.
If he doesn’t, well, the church holds the keys to heaven, does it not?
My guess is that the russian forces at kiev are there to keep the forces around kiev occupied so they can’t reinforce the Donbas. Any effort to take kiev could take weeks if not months. The report for mariupol is there were 3000 ukrainian forces there who are now completely surrounded with no reinforcements in sight. It’s not going to be pretty.
Someone claimed that cancer rates in the US military had increased by up to 1000%.
I’d suggest that it is they that needs to put up or shut up.
The Australian government website is suggesting a slight decrease in cancer incidence in 2021 over prior years.
Relying on a single pathologist making claims in March 2021 ludicrous.
Richard Rolfe strikes me as a very decent man.
I don’t think any Kennedy should raise the holocaust after Joe ran interference for Adolph from 1933 until well after WW2 started.
There’s a book titled “Man Called Intrepid” about UK secret activity in the USA from about the late 1930’s till Pearl Harbour.
It tells of how good ol’ Joe, before the Holocaust admittedly but well after the Nuremberg Laws were enacted and being vigorously enforced, gave the Nazis some advice about handling the PR aspects of what they were doing to the Jews.

Andrews is not a practising Catholic and has self excommunicated by publicly supporting abortion, he clearly, by his actions, holds the church in contempt and I see zero evidence he is the slightest bit interested in repentance.
Maybe that’s all they really need if they’re fit, have a decent IQ, understand the chain of command and are decent shots?

Sincere question here to the Catholics……would Mannix have excommunicated someone like Andrews?
I know the Rabbis of old would have issued harems (similar to excommunication in Jewish law) left, right and centre to any Jew who deviated from halacha……even sniffing fried bacon and saying you like the smell of the crispy tasty bacon would have incurred the wrath of the rabbis of the shtetls.
Fairly certain Catholic canon law doesn’t recognise the self as a competent judge in this matter, rosie.

Sancho said: you can’t cut off electricity to Greenies because the Courts will stop you.
I said: all governments have to do is say “but it’s an emergency of some kind” and the courts will let the governments do anything they want.
The fact is the idea the government can create a deus ex machina in the form of emergency laws runs contrary to the intent of the founders of every constitution in every country on the planet. If governments want powers that enable them to supersede the constitution during an emergency then they should have held a referendum.
As I said several times the Russians can get a spinnable victory if they capture Mariupol. They already have Melitopol. With those towns/cities in hand they have a fairly defensible corridor from Crimea to the heartland. Then they get a peace deal with Ukraine which keeps those gains and declare victory. But they have to have Mariupol to do it.
The Ukrainians are making serious peace noises in negotiations, which suggests they’re suffering (certainly the oligarchs will be, and the US Dems with fingers in the pie). So it may happen.
Yes.

It’s nearly over.
Andrews has already excommunicated himself, he doesn’t go to Mass or take Communion. What is more egregious is how Biden paints himself as a practicing Catholic and goes to Communion yet advocates for abortion. American bishops are not only lax but scandalising the Church by not excommunicating both Biden and Pelosi. I suppose it doesn’t help when the Pope never says a word against them either, he even receives them in audiences.
Rosie
Andrews’s father died a ‘good death’, including having had the best of palliative care and his family in attendance. Andrews himself said so on radio, but only after having some weeks/months earlier on the same radio program mendaciously used the death of his father as an argument, from ‘personal experience’, for euthanasia. Some son.

Sal, Albo is a shoo in, ScoMo keep dancing around coal fired power but according to him it’s up to private enterprise to build new power stations when the old ones expire. What I find unforgivable is him playing innocent while proposing zero emission by 2030. Who does he think will invest in a coal fired power station under those circumstances. What’s even worse banks are bragging how they will not lend money for such projects.
ScoMo is taking the audience for mugs.
Duk, unless we know the actual raw number percentages are meaningless. You should better being a doctor. What is the raw number from what to what?
Fair dinkum , whenever you see a percentage given out in an argument instead of a raw number it’s usually to support fake news.

The losses continued into the Cold War. USAF had something like 350+ F-86 accidents in 1953 and a similar number of T-33 mishaps. Not all were deaths then but a good number.
Read an F86D story – the interceptor version with the radar. #1 cleared for takeoff . Rolls gets off runway, climbing out, explodes. #2 calls Tower “what do I do now? “. “Clear takeoff”. Later traced to fractured fuel pipes from vibration pouring fuel onto afterburner .
By the way, most of the pub audience seems to be pro-ScoMo but I expect audiences at home, like me, are not impressed.

My understanding is that procurement of abortion is punished by excommunication automatically and this extends to ‘accomplices’. In Andrews case I’d have though his facilition of abortion via being instrumental in passing abortion legislation qualifies.
I haven’t looked further but I’m sure Pope John Paul included public figures who promote abortion as accomplices.
And yes Biden Pelosi etc are a scandal. .

The US Military medical surveillance system is reporting up to 1000% increases in large range of cancers
In absolute numbers you wouldn’t expect a large number of cancers in a younger, healthy population which is regularly checked, however the US Military is large and doesn’t depend on voluntary reporting. A 10 x increase is worth looking into carefully.*

The fact is the idea the government can create a deus ex machina in the form of emergency laws runs contrary to the intent of the founders of every constitution in every country on the planet.
Yes, I’m sure Mao Tse Tung and Kim Il Sung never intended for an emergency power to be available to the governments they established.
But even in relation to our constitutions you’re on shaky ground.
The basis of our State constitutions is still the basis on which the colonies were given self-government in the mid 19th centuries, and that was based on the UK’s own constitutional system – i.e., pretty much unchecked Parliamentary supremacy. That was the fundamental assumption of government in the UK, as it had been since the 1688 Revolution. Our State constitutions have never had any equivalent to the US Bill of Rights (and nor does our Commonwealth constitution either, even though the Federation delegates were somewhat influenced by the US system in some respects – the “on just terms” clause is a rare exception).
There is simply no basis in reality for saying that those who established our State constitutions would have been aghast at the idea of a Parliament legislating for emergency powers. They knew their constitutional history very well, and knew what they were doing. They may never have envisaged the idea of hideous vermin like Andrews, and that’s probably why they didn’t build restrictions into the constitutions.
If governments want powers that enable them to supersede the constitution during an emergency then they should have held a referendum.
See above. There is nothing in the written text of any Australian State constitution which is being overridden by the emergency regimes, and there is no reason to suppose that any of the architects of our constitutional system intended such restrictions to exist. Foolishly no doubt, they placed their trust in voters and in elected representatives of the people.
What flight surgeon?
Look up senator Ron Johnson’s enquiry.
There was a post facto claim that the years 2016 to 2020 were under reported. Nobody ever looked at those numbers and wondered why they were so low relative to the years before?

ScoMo is a coward, planted questions from the audience are OK but he will not face Mark Latham, Joe Hildebrand and Chris Kenny who were waiting their turn at the pub. It would have been something to see how he handles their questions.
I take it you’ve never eaten fish in your life, Eyrie.
One other thing. You thanked Duk for ostensibly supporting your innumerate assertion about Doc. Cole. However, if you weren’t such an illogical, innumerate wanker, you’d appreciate the fact that even if Duk was right ( and I suspect he isn’t because the stat he presented was shown as a percentage and that always occurs when the argument is fake) it doesn’t make your argument correct.
Let me explain it so even you can understand.
1. Even if we assume the 1000% increase is supported by facts in Duk’s case.
2. It offers zero support for the claim you made as,
3. These are independent events.
No kidding, either your bias has got hold of you or you’re just fucking terrible with numbers. Just horrible. You’re so freaking terrible that you shouldn’t go anywhere near stats.
The reason this particular claim has been doing the rounds on Putinist state propaganda channels such as the now-banned “Russia Today”, is that Putin is reaching for a rationale that would allow him to use biological or even nuclear weapons himself, if he is unable to force a Ukrainian surrender. This is the dismal fruit of Putinism and of Putin’s supporter base in the West.
It starts with a desire to defend the champion of anti-woke causes and traditional values. It ends with cheerleading the worst European conflict since 1945, including the destruction of maternity hospitals and churches.
I take it you’ve never eaten fish in your life, Eyrie.
Well, for once rarely, you are right.
As for the rest: Duk made the reference to the US Military
The rest is word salad. Try harder.
Yep. If the Chechens have been sent there that’s what’s going to happen.
I was wondering where they were committed, now I know. Shitty.
As I said Russia must have Mariupol for a peace deal.
The corridor to Crimea doesn’t work otherwise.
Tim
Don’t these state restrictions run counter to assumptions that can be made more broadly within the federal constitution.
For instance, about a decade ago, a court held that there is an implied right to free speech in Australia. If this is so then why would other fundamental rights be trampled as free speech would be girding all other such positive rights.
Yeah, it’s impossible for you to understand because you’re fucking dumb.

Question to farmers etc – One more crop with a reduced yield due to fertiliser still in the soil? Then back to 1/3 the current yield if the fertiliser and trace elements aren’t added?
Depends on the bank of nutrients in the soil. Phosphorus and other elements are exported with the crop and need to be replaced to maintain the adequate levels for optimal production.
Once you get below this level then plants won’t grow well early and you’re guaranteed reduced production.
I don’t know all the details Sancho only that the actual numbers of miscarriages, cancers and neurological disorders in 2016 to 2020 were much higher that the ‘data’ suggested.
I’m assuming that someone went back and checked, after all all these reports ultimately have to lead back to individual health records.
As for the rest, let’s see what the real 2021 cancer incidence rates are in Australia when that data is published.
We’ve been having breathless reports of millions dying from vaccination since early 2021.
I think one video linked here claimed 200 million would die in 2021 alone (some self consecrated friar who claimed the pandemic was a Freemason plot)

About 20 years or so I read a piece about why the US had basically stopped skulking around labs to produce bioweapons. The US military apparatus found them to be essentially useless – but even dangerously useless.
If I recall, the US found that if you really wanted to do maximum harm to another country, you would use nuclear weapons. Bioweapons were clumsy and the huge danger was that they could double back on your own population.
They were right. Even if Covid is an attempt at a bioweapon, it wouldn’t win you a war and more likely the response would be Beijing, Shanghai glowing at night for the next 1000 years.

Stix, the general rule that you should always keep in mind is that if one needs to lie/ dishonestly exaggerate points in arguments or assertions, you’ve basically lost.
I’ve never said the current inflation rate is running at 1% you dishonest Queerslander.

let’s look at the outcome, Hong Kong fell without a shot fired and Trump was kicked out of office. Xi the antichrist should get on his little aircraft carrier in front of a mission accomplished banner.
No, Roger, but Rosie is drawing the correct distinction between excommunication latae sententiae and excommunication ferendae sententiae.
People think excommunication is some sort of ceremony or ritual but that is rare.
Excommunication latae sententiae is imposed (as it were) ipso facto by committing the offence itself. To advocate and facilitate abortion as Andrews does is to become an apostate and a heretic. No declaration is needed (though many would like such public figures to be outright declared excommunicants) – that is, ferendae sententiae. The normal means of remitting xcommunication latae sententiae is sacramental confession.
good thing qld made it illegal then

If you’re looking for a cheap wages place to set a bio-lab, your example of Spain (being cheap) is off the mark. Way off.
Spain is a middling wage EU country.
Spain’s average monthly salary is €2,039.
Ukraine’s
US$213.992 in Euros works out to €195.24 per month.
In other words, the Spanish average is 10.44 times more. In other, other words the Ukrainian average is 9.58% of the Spanish average.
Timothy we both agree.
If a Right wing government wanted to shut off electricity to Green voters, force 10 vaccines daily into people who support vaccine mandates and force refugee advocates to share their homes with international terrorists then it could do so and no Court could or would stop it.
So now we both agree that governments can do this, why are you opposed to doing it?
What’s funny is that I doubt my approach would be illegal anywhere. If the US government has the constitutional power to shut down one coal fired power plant then it must have the power to shut down some people’s access to the grid.
If what they’re doing is illegal and agreed to be so by the courts then why would it matter? I’m happy to live in a country where vaccine mandates and climate change policies are impossible for everyone. Amazingly, you and Sancho and Cassie continued to misconstrue the crux of what I propose – the government is only giving people what they ask for. Nothing else.
Zip, Hong Kong was always gonsky without a shot being fired. Trump was cheated. These aren’t things the anti-christ could have figured. In any event, the point was that you won’t win a war with a very contagious flu.
Why did putin invade Ukraine:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18329/russia-putin-ukraine-invasion
NSW Premier Dominic Perrotett just publicly admitted the QR Codes mandates was just a media stunt!
They actually said at the time they weren’t tracking and tracing but people were still religious “checking in”. I hope a few people wake up at least.
Paul Monk had a piece in The Australian on his friend, Senator Kitching, today.
He had lunch with her hours before her death. As they were leaving, the restaurateur proudly mentioned their table was once used by Shane Warne.
Speaking of confession.
Bus conductors bowled out for 148.
Leading by 414 first innings runs, Cummins bats again rather than enforcing the follow on – probably because the pitch is turning to shit.
If they’re batting again they want to get 100 or 150 sharpish, and then have the best part of two days to bowl them out again on a crumbler.
A few of the more rabid Putin fanboys here have suggested that the Ukrainian president is financially corrupt as he’s now a billionaire or at least has been since he gained the job. Where’s the evidence for this?
Tim
Don’t these state restrictions run counter to assumptions that can be made more broadly within the federal constitution.
For instance, about a decade ago, a court held that there is an implied right to free speech in Australia. If this is so then why would other fundamental rights be trampled as free speech would be girding all other such positive rights.
Actually that’s a good question JC.
The High Court could, in theory, do something like it did in the “free speech” cases to declare mandates (or other covid restrictions) constitutionally invalid because of some hidden guarantee of some right.
So there’s in theory a chance that they could be found unconstitutional.
But I think that the free speech cases aren’t an exact analogy. Those cases were primarily about private citizens suing for defamation, not about limiting State governments’ “emergency” actions. Given that the High Court wouldn’t make McClownshow open the WA border for Fat Clive even though the Commonwealth constitution expressly says that trade etc between the states shall be “absolutely free”, it’s unlikely that the Courts will find other hidden constitutional restrictions on those emergency powers.
So – fair question and the answer isn’t a definite “no”, but until and unless someone gets a majority of a Court of sufficient jurisdiction to say otherwise, the position is that if it’s validated by duly enacted State legislation it’s the law.
He was mentioned in the Pandora Papers, JC.
Doesn’t mean he’s a billionaire but he’s obviously very rich.
Before he became an icon (two weeks ago), papers like the Washington Post (October 2021) were suspicious:
Trump Obviously Intends to Run in 2024, Suggests Augmenting Presidential Firing Powers
Styxhexenhammer666
Thanks for the explanation, Tim. I had forgotten big fat Clive lost that case.
Ukraine has done well.
Xi’s tiny cock and balls will have retreated up into his reeking guts at the idea of having a go at Taiwan.
God bless Ukraine.

Currently watching a bunch of Victorians contorting themselves into fixing up the utter lawless tyranny that was unleashed upon them – alone in all the world – as “well it was totally legal”.
Lol.
The death camps in the USSR were all legal too.
It’s really not hard to see why Victoria is such a world class shitshow. And no, it’s not all “leftists” fault.
The mentally competent among readers will understand that there’s a difference between expressing the view that something is legal under the current system, and actually supporting it being done.
Nobody on this site, to my knowledge, has supported it.
Those who oppose it may well point out the grounds for concluding that it’s not illegal, in order to attempt to persuade people not to waste time effort and energy on speculative and improbable legal arguments, so that time effort and energy may be focussed instead on actions that aren’t doomed to fail.
(Having said that, JC pointed out above that stranger things have happened in the High Court – but I still think that there’s no existing authority for a legal challenge to the mandates etc, and you’d be asking a Court to cut a declaration of invalidity out of whole cloth, with very little practical chance of success.)

Isn’t this an important point.
It’s suggestive the stakes were accumulated before he became president.
Name these “more rabid Putin fanboys”.
3 years ago this clown was playing a piano with his cock, now he’s a Billionaire?
Did he win UkeLotto every night for 3 years?
Or is there a more obvious explanation?
Thank you CL.
My very laywoman description of ‘self excommunication’ was intended to convey that sense that a person’s own actions are what matters.
And thank you very extra much for making it clear that Andrews is ‘an apostate and a heretic’.
Hopefully that puts an end to claims here he is a ‘Catholic’.
Putin is reaching for a rationale? It remained a wild rumour until Nuland admitted there in fact were biolabs in a Congressional hearing and they were afraid they would fall in Russian hands.
Yeah nah. It starts with having trusted these clowns for almost 2 decades and seen them squander that trust repeatedly. Never again.
I’m not letting anything out of the bag like doxing someone as Tim has mentioned it before that he’s a tax attorney. Tim would be able to confirm this below.
Owning a BVI doesn’t mean the owner is a crook or that crooked tax deals are going through a British Virgin Islands entity no matter how evil the ABC suggests it is.
A few cutting comments about the woke BAFTAs…
Best line on The Power of the Dog…The fact that the Netflix western – the most self-indulgent, boring and pointless movie I’ve ever seen – was named Best Film is just one of the many reasons why it’s time for the BBC to axe the snobfest that the BAFTAs has sadly become in the name of diversity and political correctness.
Quite. And he had no problem with receiving Communion, with the bishop as the main celebrant in attendance, at Bert Newton’s funeral, committing sacrilege publicly . Which is a scandal. Wonder if the bishop – a fan of Andrews – said anything to him afterwards? Most likely not.
And Putin’s the answer to die on that rock?
Zipster et al:
Bioweapons are a psychological weapon, meant to terrorise a population. (Or give their governments an excuse to terrorise them like some of our own leaders who have psychopathic tendencies.)
He is a baptised Catholic and once that happens it is an indelible mark on the soul. So yes, he is still a Catholic.

STFU as your opinions are worthless.
The wife at the start of the pandemic reckoned the demonrats were in on it with china. I laughed at her, what a ridiculous idea… then we find out the yanks funded gain of function research there… then we find out the cia was actually funding it through an ngo… er what the fuck!
Great question. About 18 months ago, I was going on about the importance of a Constitutional Convention to resolve all the damage done to this country’s liberties. Now I realise it would be rigged and wouldn’t achieve anything anyway. We need case law but it doesn’t seem to develop here as quickly as it does in the US. Few people have the money to take a matter all the way to the High Court. Second – we have a problem in the judiciary all the way up the line. Not only are most judges Labor mates, they are also moralising vibe statists. For ‘implied rights’ to organically colonise other heads of constitutional power in such a way that would protect a wider suite of customary liberties – and for the same reason – we need that argument to be presented and for a majority of the bench to accept it.
what’s a couple of orders of magnitude between friends?
it’s for the greater good right?
Mapping the NATO timeline since 1949. Basically NATO countries – except soon to be NATO member Ukraine – vs Russia.

No, he’s an apostate and a heretic.
Like I said, when it comes to Catholic theology I know whose opinions I value.

I can’t bring myself to believe that. It doesn’t mean I have any superior skills to counter that, but evil as they are, I can’t believe it of them.
This bird can play.

They’re not real even though plastic is fanastic. 🙂
Funny. I said in January 2020 that, in the absence of a time machine, nobody could possibly know this virus was novel to humans (assuming it existed).
Of course this won’t make any difference. If you believe being in contact with an unvaxed kid at school will cause you to die of measles but you can visit doctors every other day in perfect safety you’ll believe anything.
Isn’t that right Rex and Tim?
Given that the exact same people that are bizarrely claiming that all actions taken are completely lawful because the Magical Powers Act makes it so, also denouncingly denounce any form of violent protest in response….
One wonders how exactly they would expect a ‘legal’ tyranny – I.e all tyrannies since, ever to be met?
They organized a very satisfying email campaign at one point. Powerful statement!
This conclusion is based on ‘stalled campaign’ propaganda.
Russia’s invasion, militarily, is proceeding pretty effectively – certainly far better and far more swiftly that America’s of Iraq. I would also point out that fighting even a defensive war with no prospect of success is contrary to just-war doctrine and could be considered immoral.
It could also be argued that the lionisation of a government that forced its predecessor out with extreme violence inspires China to believe a Vichy government in Taipei will sooner or later be accepted by the world’s ‘realists.’
Right?
Of course not. I’ve consistently been saying that this is a matter beyond whoever is leader of RUS (or US) at any one time.
Sorry, let’s just get this on the record. Do you believe that Ukrainians have the right to defend their country from the Russian invasion or not?
Latest from The Saker:

In the 90’s there used to be all these whacky guys who’d go around going on and on about how our british inherited common law rights were being secretly abolished in a sneaky campaign waged by the legal fraternity and governments to transform us into quasi republic by stealth.
Should have listened!
If Just War Doctrine is just another form of consequentialism, what are we to say of a guy who starts a war, kills tens of thousands of civilians, and utterly destroys his own country’s economy???
Please explain. “Whoever is leader of Russia”? What do you actually mean by this?
The Ukes prevented every man between 18 and 60 from exiting the country
with the threat of being shot on the spot.
Does that sound like oppressed masses want to die for Zelenskyy?
Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark of belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation. Cf. CCC paragraph 1727.
Palmer’s mining lease case against the fucktard Mcgowan is an abomination. Palmer and Minerology had won 2 arbitrations, which were the prescribed dispute resolution methods in the government contract Palmer had with the carpetbaggers. They introduced in effect retrospective legislation making null and void the arbitrations and the base agreement and all rights therein.
Basically the HC agreed state governments can do such a thing. Talk of individual rights to lessor citizens then Palmer are therefore moot. Although the outcome of Palmer’s defamation claim will be interesting.
Owning a BVI doesn’t mean the owner is a crook or that crooked tax deals are going through a British Virgin Islands entity no matter how evil the ABC suggests it is.
Correct.
Plenty of government owned money here in Australia is invested through feeder funds in the Caribbean. (OK, that doesn’t prove there’s no corruption….).
But JC’s right. Plenty of transnational investment funds are based in places like the BVI.
Each investment is taxed in the country it’s located, each investor is taxed in the investor’s country of residence, so having the actual fund based in the BVI or similar just means that a global type fund doesn’t create a third potential layer of tax.
Zelensky, the great white democratic hope has the opposition leader under arrest.
Every chance the chap is a crook but funny how the holier than thou EU ran dead on it.

It means that whoever was Russian President would have acted in more or less the same way re Ukraine.
Good morning, Mr Bush?
Given that the exact same people that are bizarrely claiming that all actions taken are completely lawful…
Did anyone claim that? I certainly didn’t. For example I pointed out that the Courts have in fact overturned a number of covid fines.
because the Magical Powers Act makes it so, also denouncingly denounce any form of violent protest in response….
Well I didn’t denounce “violence” by protesters in response to whatever you’re saying they responded to.
But that doesn’t disprove your statement, because I didn’t say “all actions taken are completely lawful”, therefore I’m not one of those “exact same people”.
Perhaps, perhaps not. However, that’s not what is being discussed.
Russian oligarchs bad. Ukraine oligarchs who fund democrat warchests in the US good.
I can’t imagine how “libertarianism” reached the dizzying heights of success that it has!

I consider just-war doctrine immoral.
Oh fisky.
Still stuck in 2014 with dot on the Ukraine issue.
But what of your brave Maidan hero Poroshenko being denounced as a traitor by Zelensky and fleeing the country last year? No sympathy for him, no mention of that unperson? The modern Trotsky, no?
Sad!
