An element of truth in that. This has been a strategic clusterfk in pushing a Russia/China alliance much closer.
Insomuch as we are seeing a realignment of global world power, it was probably unhelpful but it is leading us to the conclusion of a much larger and longer transition. We (the west) started this by isolating, goading and ‘prodding’ the Russian bear for decades. We ignored their national security concerns, levied sanctions at the slightest transgression to our perceived superiority and treated their leadership with distain. Russia was excluded from some international forums or, if allowed to attend, was berated for the latest alleged infringement whilst many more reckless nations were given a pass. Motivated by western governments, the MSM gleefully stuck the knife in at every opportunity. Russia was the west’s favourite ‘whipping boy’ and she felt as if she was in a perpetual state of siege and/or ridicule.
The west’s arrogance and disregard for legitimate Russian interests has brought us to this point. Compare Russia’s treatment in the past 30 years to that of China? How’s that turning out for us? I don’t need to spell it out – we all know the answer but now, instead of potentially being a bulwark, Russia is an ally of China. We drove them there, opened the door and ushered them inside.
And its not as if there hasn’t been any warning. Since the early nineties Russia has been on edge about NATO expansion. Then in 2013/4 the Maidan ‘Revolution of Dignity’ happened and Russia’s warnings became more strident. Most recently, Putin didn’t wake up one morning wondering what to do with his day – Russia found out that America was undeterred and was very quietly canvassing NATO members to admit Ukraine. Nothing overt, just a word here, a word there. Red lines?! Phooey. So, just like baking a cake, we have merrily thrown in the ingredients and turned up the heat in the oven. Voila!! Oh shit, that’s not what I wanted. Russia very bad. Sanctions will fix it.
The ascendency of China, with Russia in lock-step and many others hanging on the coattails, will change global geopolitics forever. I believe that America specifically, and the western world more generally, has seen the future, don’t like it and are trying to push back. Too late motherfvckers and what’s worse, we did this to ourselves.

‘Colonised by boys’: How school playgrounds deter girls from physical activity
School playgrounds have traditionally favoured games played by boys, but education experts say redesigning school spaces can encourage more physical activity among girls.
Dean Dudley, associate professor in the Macquarie School of Education, said there was a strong argument to say school playgrounds had been “designed by men based on activities boys are likely to be more engaged in”.

‘This is going to hurt” – a good show about the NHS, fairly true to how awful it actually is, although there was the usual progressive scream for more funding. Don’t watch if two gay guys getting married really distresses you. I saw it as just a general human interest story – one wanted commitment, the other was running a mile from it. My dear husband said he couldn’t really understand guys wanting that sort of relationship because it was nothing like marriage. So it carries with it his warning, he squirmed a bit at it but I enjoyed it.
“After Life” – Netflix, Ricky Gervais – watch series 1 and 2, it’s poignant and fall off your chair funny, in alternate bursts. Don’t bother with series 3. It gets silly and (more) tacky.
“Inventing Anna” – Netflix, overlong at the end, but an interesting take on how to fake riches and social position given a bit of nous about how things are done socially, some internet fraud, and a small capacity to fiddle accounts swiftly between banks and then using the proceeds to convince others to fund your great ideas. What is really interesting is that it is based on a true story of how gullible the New York rich were to such a scammer. Lots about that back story is available on Youtube.
“The Last Kingdom” Series 5. Uhtred is schooling Athelstan but really the tale of uniting Engalande is still at the King Edward stage, chasing King Alfred’s dream but with Northumbria still to be conquered. That will, as we know, fall to Athelstan but not in this series. The way is left open for series 6, but this one, depending on viewer reaction, also ended in a way that might signal the last. For my mind there was too many battle scenes played out one after another and less politics than I would have liked, but the books at this stage were pretty much like that with gorish battles. The main storyline though didn’t follow the book: Brida starts to reconsider her pagan obsessions and so of course she must die in Uhtred’s arms, as does Athelflaed, the cause of Uhtred’s commitment to Saxons while feeling pretty much a Dane. Fair enough. It was certainly a time of religious syncretism, and I enjoyed seeing that play out.

Have to keep up grammatical standards here.
Anyway, -auskas is the same patronymic as -owski, so I got to wondering, is Malinauskas the same name as Malinowski.
Here’s the wiki entry of everybody’s fave Anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronis?aw_Malinowski
It tells us there that:
so, presumably, Peter Malinauskas is also a scion of the Polish szlachta?
The new Premier of SA has a Lithuanian surname.
This is no more disputable than saying his name is Irish were it Ryan or O’Neill.
(incidentally he’s apparently half-Irish)

Well, that’s the second time he’s tried to give Rabz a heads up that Malinauskas is a Lithuanian name, but it appears that Rabz doesn’t wanna know.

Remembering that the Public Service have already obtained a legal monopoly over the use of violence, in simple terms, how would this new Digital Identity Bill enable the public service to screw us in ways they have not screwed us before?
I’m interested in exactly how the Orwellian nightmare is supposed to be manifested and the mechanism for it. How does that happen with this bill that could not have happened without it?
Because if we are going to object (in writing) to this scheme, then we had better be absolutely precisely correct.
Even the Women’s Weekly won’t touch him now.
Another well though out, erudite post from Grogarly, I see.
Interesting take, and a lot going for it I think. I haven’t read Mr Montefiore’s books although I see his name around from time to time, and I’ve read some Russian history from the Peter the Great and Catherine the Great mornarchies. And also through to about 1920.
I disagree with Putin being a populist. I agree with him being quite Tsarist, the encouragement of the Orthodox Church being a practical and good feature of that. I’ve been wondering if he’d declare himself Tsar, which might’ve been possible up to a month ago. Not now, although Russia could potentially do quite well as a reimagined Tsarist monarchy. He wants to be populist but hasn’t quite succeeded. He’s too much the creepy KGB agent, and his oligarchy of ex-KGB guys underlines that issue. That too seems to be the problem with this current situation: as KGB he’s not able to discern the difference between yes-man military promises and what is actually feasible. I don’t know if he will survive this mess, but whether he does or doesn’t Russia is about to be reset to 1991.
“myGovID Digital Identity” already exist.
Just a heads-up on the report mechanism, it is precisely that. Once a comment is reported by a number I deemed significant, the comment is placed to pending. I usually take this as ‘final’ unless I think their is shenanigans at play. I don’t get individual notifications of a single report.
I believe there are Romanovs still lurking in the wings.

It’s like the Wizard of Oz. The curtain is pulled back and there he is…pedalling away. And much more benevolent looking than the death-ray eyes suggest.*

“Interesting take, and a lot going for it I think. I haven’t read Mr Montefiore’s books although I see his name around from time to time, and I’ve read some Russian history from the Peter the Great and Catherine the Great mornarchies. And also through to about 1920.”
Montefiore’s books on Russian history are very good and worth reading.
And Montefiore is right about Putin. Calling Putin “mad” is simplistic and I think, dangerous. Labels such as “mad” are tossed around by foolish Western commentators……the same foolish Western commentators who used smears such as “mad”, “bad” and “dangerous” to describe Trump.
Groogs will get to the bottom of it for us. Bottom he he.
Yes; it indicates that the commenter has been too lazy to delve into Putin’s worldview and Russian history. Doing so does not justify Putin, but it does explain him.
That laziness also reflects the liberal belief that everyone else is at heart just like them (and if not they’re just “mad”)
It is, as you say, Cassie, dangerous and, I would add, arrogant.
Roger – I haven’t made a count but I suspect more guys have declared themselves Caesar than have inherited the job. Catherine the Great was a fine example, since she offed hopeless hubby Peter III. Sometimes they does well, like she did, sometimes they do poorly.
(* Catherine seems to’ve worn the trousers in that marriage, so I’m counting her as a guy.)
Second that one – particularly his history of the Romanoff dynasty, “Young Stalin” and “Stalin – the Court of the Red Tsar.”

However calling for his death, a la the Blot last week, is totally peachy.

Given that Flamers are occasionally referred to as ‘projectors,‘ Grigory, I’m sorry but I am now obliged name you one as well.

Bear, do you mean the Women’s Weekly?
Have you seen the female polling on Albanese since he cast his lot with the mean girls?
The Women’s Weekly has more respect for its readership than, say, The Australian.
And just who is going to lift Cali up to do it?
No.
Please share, or at least give us a clue.
Lara Logan Gives a Brutally Honest Assessment of Ukraine and U.S. Politics
March 20, 2022 | Sundance
I’m old enough to remember when the allegations against a politician from someone deceased were treated as gospel.
Convenient.
Also stops naval reinforcement, arms shipment by sea or perfidious puppet Ukrainians doing sneaky things with their naval fleet or commercial fishing boats, etc.
Also useful to screen amphibious forces while concentrating prior to a landing. Of this hasn’t happened in the vicinity of Odessa already.
Remember, it’s the mapped commercial shipping channel the mines were allegedly planted in. So that’s everything from large commercial ships to deep-draft warships are at risk. It could draw out minesweeping efforts and thus deny them being elsewhere. Or at least be just another strategic ballache the Ukrainians have to suffer.
Or at least be just another strategic ballache the Ukrainians have to suffer.
Or it could be total horseshit.
Rex,
I was thinking more along these lines.
You mean they do not appear to hold them in utter contempt? Women treat other women worse than any man would dare.
Calli’s a perfectly capable kitteh, Bespoke!
I’m sure she’s got an appropriately-sized stepladder somewhere nearby.
You’ve also forgotten about sharp kicks to the shins, and Terry Pratchett’s Dwarfen folk saying “All trees are felled at ground level.”*
* Reputedly, according to Pratchett, an excessively bowdlerised translation of the ancient Dwarfish phrase “If his armpit is higher than your head, then his groin is level with your teeth…”
Wot Aunty Jack said!
That too.

Apparently, but not when they’re trying to sell them a magazine.
After a year and a half of “Morrison has a problem with women”, he is now their preferred PM.
Rex, there are RUS ships operating in the area. If the Ukrainian Navy is kaput why would they need a screen? And why mine the commercial shipping lanes? It doesn’t make sense.
I dunno. He was very good in The Man Who Would Be King.

You’re a desperate liar JC –
For starters you’re clinging to your Commie/”USSR” lie, then you quote Ed as me and to round it all off, you pretend that there wasn’t raging huge discussions about the various admitted cheats in our Elections at Sinclair Davidson’s old Cat ,because it’s all gone now (like stolen ballots), and so can’t be ‘proven’ to your stupidly impossible demands, and, you just know not a soul will dare pipe up & say, ‘Yeah, I remember that.’, so you’re desperate lie remain, “unproven”, yet still in actual fact, a lie.

In which case, if the mines were Russian, they know where they are.
If they are Ukranian or someone else’s they will be left until they are too much of a nuisance and then dealt with.
The only people who might be able.to clearly explain the hows, whys and wherefores are the blokes who dropped them and the fellow who gave the order.
That would leave Nancy Pelosi in charge.

And she is only hanging around because the next in line from the Dems is even worse but, he is from the black caucus so is owed the spot. The worst thing that could happen is Biden snuffs it before they manage to eliminate all the greater liabilities.
USSR
You commented that the Australian electoral system is fraught with cheating on a scale larger than America’s. For emphasis: the cheating is on a scale larger than what is suspected in the US! You suggested this in reference to the SA election. I’ve asked you to back up your assertion the SA election was cheated away from the libs.
Calling me a liar doesn’t do you any good at all except to show you’re a conspiracy troll who ought to be tied up in a padded cell.

Oh Shit, I just had to maneuver away from a lightening bolt. Was that you, USSR?

You first, Deckless.
Thoroughly unnecessary for most.
But it’s the same as every other vetting law that only penalises the non-criminals. Government had to be seen to be doing something after some partocualrly egregious act of corporate/charitable organisation bastardry. So they did.
Everything is gameable, if you have deep enough pockets and the time to develop a grab-bag of disposable ‘identities’ from the business registration board or whatevr the hell they call themselves.
