Russia – Ukraine War: Soldiers Collect Civilians After Shelling Attack on Mariupol Frontline
Patrick Lancaster
Bear – you forgot the imbibing of some radioactive milk by people the Nuclear Milkman’s family may or may not have known in the ol’ dart in the ’50s.
Thanks Cohenite. I haven’t done serious gym training for over a decade but now want to continue solidly throughout the year and then go into a maintenance mode. I do some negative sets but recent research suggested that training to failure is not necessary; obviously we need to get close to that. I still train to failure, don’t know why, find it satisfying, don’t feel happy if I don’t feel pain. Here’s a quandary: I am easily the oldest person in the gym yet I train harder than most. It even seems to me that for some of the teenagers and youth there intensity is a foreign concept. Only in this new gym though, at the old gym there was plenty of intensity! Perhaps I should go back there because when I ended my membership they let me keep the access card. Haven’t tried it yet but I think it will still work.
Without watching the videos Zippy what’s the story?
That Russia as the invader is absolved of all responsibility for the death and destruction in Mariupol?
De Valera’s mother had the same Nativity tale.
She met and rooted a Mr. De Valera on a ship from Oireland to New York, never saw him again.
Irishwoman, like Albanese’s mother.
The De Valera name didn’t show up on Passenger Lists, or anywhere else.
SOme good interviews there.
Of course as it’s not being done by the mainstream media, it will just be sneered at here.
Spot on Rabz. They spent their childhoods at the kitchen table reliving the 50’s UK class war. I would personally ice pick the lot of them in the Leninist tradition.
Mark Latham had an interesting backstory.
His old man maintained 2 separate households, one on the North Shore and Latham’s house in FibroLand.

Greg Sheridan goes all groupie after Zelensky makes a Zoom speech – give the Ukraine the Army’s tanks:
One suggestion of Zelensky’s was particularly sensible: Why don’t you give some of your armoured vehicles to Ukraine? They will do more good for Western security in Ukraine than they will sitting in your parks, he said.
He mentioned Bushmaster vehicles specifically but he should aim higher and go for Australia’s tanks. We haven’t deployed a tank into a contested military area anywhere in the world since the Vietnam War, more than 50 years ago, and we are unlikely ever to deploy them in the future. Yet we hang onto them, combination curios, museum pieces, vanity projects.
Here’s a chance to deploy them after all. Aussie tanks for Ukraine. It has a certain ring to it, don’t you think?
Comments open – how long before the Oz shuts them down?
I enjoyed Marvin’s role in The Big Red One. It is surprising the number of actors from that era who signed up for the military. Not John Wayne though, he was excused because he had 4 kids. That’s OK but it irked me when he did those war movies.

Cardinal Pell also denounced the Russian Invasion.
The Bushmaster is a good mine-protected vehicle and light APC.
Australian armour, while sneered at by media pundits and easily distracted think-tank theorists in love with missile telemetry and sexy fast jets, is the one thing (short of never going to war in the first place) that will keep Diggers alive when shit goes sideways.
It is not the Diggers’ or their immediate commanders’ fault that politicians (in uniform and without) think tanks look too ‘warlike’ and thus won’t permit their use- Politicians were unwilling to send tanks to Vietnam, too. Until the issue was finally raised in Question Time in 1968.

Putin invaded a neighbouring country and is blowing shit up. Morals don’t end at the border and I don’t know what unpleasantness was going on in Donetsk et al, but I do know that Putin’s legal right to use force ended at the border, and nobody was attacking Russia.

Give it a break.
Anyone who lurked or commented here for more than 48 hours in the last few months knows your views on the subject of vaxxines. Coming back multiple times every day to accuse everyone who might have had the jabs for any reason whatsoever, ranging from family reasons, through employment, to convenience, of committing treason against their spouses, children, parents, the ANZACS, Australia and anyone else you think of, is useless.
Nothing you say can reverse those decisions, whatever you happen to think of them. All that you do is annoy people who might in other circumstances support you.
I used to read most of your comments, because pre-Kung Flu you offered perspectives outside my experience. Now I might scan the first line, but generally I simply scroll past.
I repeat, give it a break, for your own mental health and the sanity of the rest of us.
For an internal fight that Russia only got interested in and then fomented and materially assisted since 2014, as a means of destabilising Ukraine itself.
Righto, Grigory. I take it you’ll be demanding New Zealand invade Australia and annex Brisbane and the Gold Coast because their expats aren’t allowed access to our welfare?
`Ed case,
Would that be sorta like Australia has the *legal* right to invade China to protect the human rights of *ethnic* Australians who are nonetheless only citizens of China?
As in..sorta like no it legally doesn’t!
The Ukes are persecuting and murdering ethnic Russians in the Donbass with weapons supplied by the United States.
The equivalent is the CCP giving the Wontoks weapons and telling them to go hunt Australian’s whilst they discuss building bases in PNG.
Given the Solomons fuck up, this might be just around the corner for Australia.

Sounds like the rest of the outside world- apart from the State Parliaments and their executive apparatus- have decided it’s all over.
A good outcome, if you are not a denizen of said Permit Kingdom. And even for us, the cracks are getting bigger…
Maybe not, Timothy. A trio of filthy non-vaxxed non-conformists went on a little cultural jaunt yesterday into the city. Tickets to a show and an exhibition, lunch indoors, dinner ditto. Not one single place asked to see our green tick despite signs about the place saying we should have it ready. Four rides on public transport sans face nappies and no one gave us a second glance.
Two of my three libraries have stopped asking for it. No one cares to enforce it apparently.

Okay Grigs, now you’re trying too hard.
Pack it in.
I have been following this blog for many, many years and consider it one of the treasures for the conservatives, I know of no other like it in Australia. Over the years there have been many comings and goings of commenters with different points of view and not all align with mine, however I appreciate the opportunity to look at other view to either reinforce my own or to maybe alter them slightly. We have also and still do have come very funny commenters.
I don’t like anyone with robust views or different views being censored or banned, God gave me the ability to scroll and the means of doing so, which I do. I think that in the coming years, with the way the world is going we are going to need the cat more than ever, as our freedoms are going to be challenged in ways I don’t think we yet understand or know. If we censor people with views continually repeated, or ones we don’t like, we then deprive ourselves of the opportunity to learn or allow lurkers or newbies the opportunity of following another views or reinforced views outside msm.
At the time Struth joined the cat, he was in a “discussion” that went on for days and days and days about the constitution, which was very interesting and informative with inputs from others beside the two combatants. I don’t consider that a major problem, a nuisance sometimes maybe, but still those discussions make for a lively and robust blog.
I don’t envy Drover his role but do appreciate very much the fact that he took over the cat and continues to make it the best blog in Australia.
Not mine, sadly.

Must listen conversation with Kharkov-based commentator, Gonzalo Lira: Ukraine, Russia, the Donbass
I hadn’t specifically noticed but if it’s true it does sort of make sense, in that some people just will not follow the herd.
Welp, SRR seems to like him and his claims that Russia has been the (soon-to-be-victorious, of course) plucky underdog in this fight, going in ever so sportingly at a massive numerical disadvantage, shrugging its shoulders at the near-obliteration of its logistics trains and non-existent rear-area security, and has been most scrupulous in its efforts to avoid massive civilian damage…
Putin invaded a neighbouring country and is blowing shit up. Morals don’t end at the border and I don’t know what unpleasantness was going on in Donetsk et al, but I do know that Putin’s legal right to use force ended at the border, and nobody was attacking Russia.

You’ll need to prove Vlad Bae was invading Ukraine to spoil a Ukranian invasion of sovereign Russian territory to make any equivalence.
And given that the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts were only declared Russian territory immediately prior to kickoff and the Crimea has been de facto annexed by force since 2014, you can’t use those territories to make your case.
.. and that reminds me of this classic:

Red Roo are even flying a B738 services in daily from Brisbane which they haven’t done for years, interstate hasn’t started yet but 15 upwards flights a day from a handful of carriers. Port can’t keep with demand for coal either, I gave up at counting 40 ships.
As for the lack of smart phone, Q Club had no issues in Townsville with mine not reading QR’s. I signed in on their tablet, I’d say WA authorities would have a similar regime and I found the same solution a few times in NSW last year.
SATP, interesting there is XXXX can shortage in Mackay that isn’t an issue in Townsville. Got taken to lunch the other day at the Pacific Hotel Eimeo, wow never knew this place existed. Was a great long lunch especially with the view…
Paper forms here for the non-QRs. And not particularly tightly policed anyway, unless Sneakers has just made A Pronouncement. And then that only tends to last for a few days to a week.

the only reason I don’t post what he actually said to me is out of respect.

It’s a mystery to me too. He used to make some decent points, but that was some time back.
I’ve only ever not been nice to people who were exceptionally un-nice to me first.

Right, and the Arab states are ridiculous entities that only exist as discrete nation-states due to their oil wealth. Bar the oil wealth, Ukraine is *exactly* like an Arab state. All of the historical attributes that tend to confer statehood are absent.
I watched a bit of your video, John H, but I couldn’t stand the pace. Too slow. And rather patronising, which didn’t improve things.
A few points; the fine structure constant is not exactly 1/137. It’s close, but not the reciprocal of an integer. The video conceals that. Second, the universe isn’t mathematical. Mathematics is just the best language we have to describe what it does. They used to use Latin, but algebra works better, for various reasons I shan’t go into. Third, most theories are parametrised, which is to say there are actually an infinite family of them, each element of the family specified by a number or collection of numbers. If you want to know which one the universe uses, you have to make some measurements to pick out the best bets.
It’s conceivable that one day we’ll have a theory of everything that allows us to calculate the physical constants of our universe, but we aren’t within cooee of it at present.
The argument that our physical constants have been carefully chosen to allow our universe to support life is fundamentally silly. A different universe from ours might have totally different entities in it, smugly certain that it had been designed for them. This is just backwards. We’re here because this universe permits us to be in it.
I agree that it’s an amazing and wonderful place, and that being alive is a marvellous gift, but the idea that the universe was designed for us is a monumental conceit. We evolved in a tiny bit of it and we fit in with it, not it with us.

Thanks Doc. I appreciate your expertise in the area. I didn’t intend for you to watch that video because it is dreadfully slow. I wanted your opinion on the mathematic-ontology debate because so many argue the opposite position but I’ve long held the same position as you. To give you some idea of the opposing trend the physicist Max Tegmark has written a book, “Our Mathematical Universe”. I’m pleased that we accord on that issue but it annoys me so many physicists argue like Tegmark. For myself mathematics works because it is so a very powerful and flexible means of modeling phenomena. I’m sure there are more technical explanations!
I’m not into the anthropic principle stuff. Some have argued that the apparent fine tuning is misleading because typically the proponents of the anthropic principle only change one or two parameters but there are a gazillion ways to mix and match and we can’t compute that but it is conceivable universes amenable to complexity can emerge with different constants.
The so-called Conservative Party in the UK is farcical. Those who think that Boris and Mrs Boris are outliers – think again:
If you think our politicians are dreadful, look at the UK. What a disaster.
Had this lot been around during the formation of the British Empire, they would have ceded the entire country to Kenya in order to ensure racial and economic justice.
Thanks Tom.
While we are on the subj. of nefarious behaviour bo so-called conservative parties, for once I agree with Labor about this:
Using the Solicitor-General and the High Court in legal manoevres to do with internal party power struggles and preselection stoushes is banana republic stuff.
John H, I’ve read some of the Tegmark stuff. I think it’s fundamentally dishonest. He knows where he wants to go and interprets everything to get there.
I must say I feel the same way about Dover’s hero Aquinas. I admire some aspects of the man, but at root it’s dishonest. Fixing up the axioms to get to where you want to arrive at takes some intellect, and in science it may be fair play, but in theology it’s cheating.
Completely agree, Johanna. We are governed by a contemptible shower. And they aren’t smart enough to conceal it.
This is fair and unbiased reporting by TheirABC in 2022:
“Pope Francis has lifted the application of the pontifical secret in the Vatican financial trial, clearing the way for Cardinal Angelo Becciu to speak in court about his involvement with Cecilia Marogna, the self-described security consultant who says she spied for the cardinal on other curial officials”
Pope Francis waives state secrecy
“Melbourne is now the only capital city in Australia without a city deal.
Victoria has been left out of the federal government’s Energy Security and Regional Development Plan, a $7.1 billion fund to “turbocharge” the economies of four key regions.
Senior Morrison government sources have blamed Victoria for putting all its eggs in the one basket with the Suburban Rail Loop.
Victoria received just 5.9 per cent, or $208 million, out of a total $3.56 billion worth of new infrastructure funding over the four-year budget period.”

Autumn is here. Minimum temp 9.4C, app temp more like 3C. Went outside for a fag and it was chilly. Space Station still up there.
I see that they did a changeover of staff on the SS this week, and the chaps refused to get involved in political discussions. Both Ruskies and Murricans involved.
If only others would take a leaf from their book.
Now wondering if disrespecting Mt Disappointment will have triggered any wailing banshees.
