“The US should have waited and built up a bigger coalition and committed more forces.”
The Multi-National Force – Iraq was an enormous force, and consisted of many nations – varying over time. I reckon it was more than sufficient.
The problem was not winning the victory, but keeping the peace. Once the bad guys worked out the coalition, when engaged in constabulary duties as opposed to warfighting, were a bunch of pussies then they started up with their campaign of asynchronous warfare.

Why? If you don’t need to borrow, just sell A$20 million against the US (US$10 million), which has the same impact and less burdensome than borrowing the US to buy an Aussie dollar amount. Dude seriously. if we hit 50 cents it possibly means the world in completely rooted for the next generation. 🙂

California makes it illegal for doctors to disagree with politicians
By Dr. Joel Zinberg
Conformity of thought is now required whether it is online, on college campuses, or, if you are in California, in a physician-patient relationship.
PayPal recently introduced a $2,500 fine for anyone involved in “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that — in “PayPal’s sole discretion” — “promote misinformation.”
After a firestorm of criticism, PayPal withdrew the policy, claiming the whole thing was a misunderstanding and was not official policy— hardly a convincing explanation from a site with a history of banning those it considers politically incorrect.
But California physicians have had no such relief.
Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed California Assembly Bill 2098, making it the first state to attempt to censor what physicians can say about COVID-19 to their patients. This is a dangerous, and likely unconstitutional, effort that other states must resist.
The statute instructs that, “It shall constitute unprofessional conduct for a physician and surgeon to disseminate misinformation or disinformation related to COVID-19, including false or misleading information regarding the nature and risks of the virus, its prevention and treatment; and the development, safety, and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.”
California law requires the Medical Board of California to take action — up to and including license revocation — against any licensed physician charged with unprofessional conduct. But under the First Amendment, content-based speech regulation by government entities is presumptively unconstitutional and may be justified only if the government proves that it is narrowly tailored to serve compelling state interests.
Physicians who inform their young, healthy patients that the virus poses a minuscule risk of serious illness and death to them is providing truthful information, even though other practitioners or the government might claim that doing so is contrary to the standard of care.
I, for one, think my physician is a better judge of medical information than Silicon Valley elites and liberal legislators.

If your reply runs five paragraphs to a simple point, you don’t have anything coherent or succinct.
Ok a smooth brain version..
Ships are dual purpose.
Nominally civilian once you transport war materials they become a legitimate target.
Disguising or being ‘tricky” means the other party becomes even less likely to treat what was once civilian with the protections it is supposed to have.
Its certain to me the bridge/rail was a legitimate target, not terrorism, it had gone from being 99% civvie to 99% supplying army.
Unfortunately massive amounts of what should be off limits (power generation/water treatment etc) can gradually (or suddenly) be come a target once things not specifically military are hit.
Its a shit spiral, and I stand by my predicted outcome, another Israel/Palestine never ending festering sinkhole of Russia “winning” and then the Ukes turning round and using the ‘little green men” tactics to make the place a squalid hellhole rather than admit defeat.
Id like to be wrong and everyone withdraw to their pre war borders, shake hands and then spend the next 30 years trying to quietly assassinate each other while leaving the civilians alone.
The archives of Imperial Germany have been open to researchers since the mid 1960’s. In the event of a German victory in WW1, Britain would have been stripped of her colonies and, along with France, saddled with reparations designed to prevent either of those countries ever posing any threat to Imperial Germany again. Australia would have suffered the consequences of such victory.
Has a Quisling GOP Enabled a Desperate October Surprise?
Who benefits from the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage? The answer is obvious. A regime facing devastating electoral losses in just over a month.
The panic is palpable. With the midterms just a month away, even carefully curated polling data is showing momentum building towards a Republican blowout, and the reckless cabal in charge of the Biden Administration has clearly run out of political ammo.
On top of these disasters, are others. COVID vaccine uptake has collapsed, as more people realize the mandates and shutdowns have inflicted enormous damage on the country—all for an ineffective, dangerous, and novel gene-therapy treatment with massive adverse effects. Orchestrating an invasion of illegal immigrants on the southern border for permanent electoral advantage has backfired as U.S. citizens grasp the insanity of bringing in unprecedented numbers of workers during an economic downturn, and recent immigrants themselves grasp that their future prosperity and safety is not with a party that is tanking the economy and spiking violent crime. Even Biden’s initial promise of national reconciliation has been revealed to be a sick joke, as the Delaware Democrat has engaged in unprecedented polarization, demonization, and targeting of his political opponents.
Two weeks ago, it is possible the administration made a calculated decision that it was worth risking nuclear conflict with Russia through an unprecedented act of energy terrorism and environmental depredation in order to shore up political support and suppress dissent at home.
One has to ignore the fact that both Biden and longtime neocon warmonger Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland explicitly threatened Nord Stream operations in early 2022 should Russia invade Ukraine. One must further ignore the fact that Defense Department Spokesperson John Kirby bragged that the destruction of Nord Stream presented a “tremendous opportunity for years to come” to reduce dependence on Russian gas and oil, while disavowing U.S. responsibility for creating such good fortune.
Many Americans have trouble believing a United States president would intentionally provoke a high stakes nuclear showdown with Russia over the territorial integrity of the Russian-speaking eastern part of Ukraine (one of the most corrupt governments on the planet) where we have no vital national interest. But the Biden Administration’s lack of interest in reducing hostilities became crystal clear with the recent revelation that in April the United States scuttled a tentative deal to end the war—even though both Russia and Ukraine were ready to agree—in which Russia would withdraw to its position on February 23 and Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership.
The big question now is not whether the Biden regime is prepared to risk everything to prevent devastating electoral losses and congressional investigations.
The real question is why have Republicans been complicit in, nay enthusiastic supporters of, this disastrous proxy war that has already resulted in the energy and food supply disruptions roiling Europe and about to roil the United States?
Only works if the second ‘l’ in ‘shallow’ is silent.
Otherwise, a perfect rhyme.
Meanwhile – NATO member takes stock of its bomb shelters
Poland has reportedly begun taking an inventory of the country’s bomb shelters to ensure that they’re ready for public use in the event of an emergency. The initiative comes amid increased targeting of civilian infrastructure in the nearby Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The inspections of an estimated 62,000 “places of refuge” are being carried out by district fire departments, Polstat News reported on Monday, citing comments by Maciej Wasik, Poland’s deputy minister of interior and administration. The review will assess whether each shelter is properly equipped and fit for use. “If not, we will take steps to adapt them,” Wasik said.
Although the initiative comes at a time when the conflict in neighboring Ukraine is escalating, the public official stressed that Poles aren’t in danger. “We are in NATO, we are part of the European Union,” Wasik said. “We are not participants in this war, although we strongly support Ukraine, but Poland is a safe country.”

US doesn’t owe Zelensky ‘a damn thing’ – congressman
Paul Gosar believes Washington is not acting in its self interest during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis
US Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) has called on Washington to cut foreign aid to Ukraine, which he argued is being used to fund a conflict that the US should have “no involvement in.” On Capitol Hill, a number of Republican lawmakers have condemned President Joe Biden’s open checkbook for Kiev.
“NO MORE Foreign Aid, especially not to fund a war that we should have NO involvement in,” Gosar tweeted on Monday. “Biden and his crime family may owe Zelensky, but America doesn’t owe him a damn thing,” the lawmaker added.
A staunch anti-interventionist and a member of the Republican Party’s unofficial ‘America First’ caucus, Gosar has emerged as one of the loudest critics of the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy. The Arizona congressman voted against a $40 billion military and economic aid package for Kiev in May, and against a spending bill offering Kiev another $12 billion last month.
Conservatives and moderates need to build a parallel economy in the US
With the left’s control creeping over multiple American institutions, conservatives need to shake their dependence on them
American conservatives are in the midst of political and cultural warfare with the left’s ideology. The only way to avoid having to play by the left’s rules is to get creative, make a few sacrifices and put our money where our mouth is.
Conservatives and moderates have been sounding the alarm for some time now over the left’s “long march through our institutions,” referring to the attempted Marxist takeover of American culture and life. The march has indeed been long and spans decades, and while most can’t agree on where or when exactly it all started, many Americans are waking up to where it’s going. As conservatives, we are grappling with radical gender and race ideologies, ‘woke’ corporations and cancel culture, mob mentality, attacks on the nuclear family, and assaults on our Constitution and the framework of our society. It feels at times like normal America is on a hijacked plane and all the passengers want off, but the pilot and crew are suicidal. Quick thinking is of the essence.
I don’t mean to sound cynical, and I pray daily that America won’t come crashing down, but in many ways, much of what our founding fathers built has already been destroyed. And realistically, it would take generations to rebuild every aspect of American civil society after the left’s plundering.
So when half the country is being silenced, we have a major problem. It took a sitting president of the United States being banned from the largest social networks for Americans to truly wake up to the encroaching threat to free speech. As a result, multiple alternate social media platforms have since popped up. The rise of Rumble, Truth Social, Gettr, Gab, and Parler are hopeful signs of parallel infrastructure. Conservative-friendly internet servers, web hosting companies, and job boards have also emerged.
All of this is really just the tip of the iceberg. We are going to need payment processing systems, financial institutions, and other businesses that won’t cave to extremist demands. This became obvious when PayPal, Venmo, and Go Fund Me decided that if you share a view that doesn’t align with leftism, you can’t conduct business or even receive donations using their platforms.

You Knew the FBI Was Corrupt, But Did You Know It Was THIS Bad?
The full story of how far it has fallen.
October 11, 2022 by Robert Spencer
We know that the FBI was all in on the Russian Collusion hoax, that it faked a kidnapping plot against far-Left Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and that it raided Donald Trump’s home in yet another transparently political attempt to frame the former president for a crime and render it impossible for him to run for president again in 2024. A majority of Americans now believe that the astoundingly corrupt Merrick Garland has turned the FBI into “Biden’s Gestapo.” And it’s true: the FBI is all of that and more. But the full story of how far it has fallen is even worse than that.
The Rev. James Harden is CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in Buffalo, N.Y., which last June was firebombed by pro-abortion terrorists. They painted “Jane Was Here” on the side of the building as they broke windows and lit fires. Jane’s Revenge is a pro-abortion group that has issued open threats to pro-lifers: “We will hunt you down and make your lives a living hell,” the group has said. This is, it says, a “war” against pro-lifers.
Harden and CompassCare duly turned over surveillance footage of the attack to the FBI. Yet to this day, no arrests have been made.
Tucker Carlson asked Harden, “Were you really told that you could not have your own surveillance tapes back, because those tapes of a firebombing of your property might inspire Right-wing terrorism?”
Harden answered simply, “Yes,” and explained that CompassCare is now suing to try to get the tapes back.
This is in line with the FBI’s obsession with the “Right-wing terrorism” that Biden administration officials and Old Joe himself have insisted is the biggest terror threat the nation faces today. This dubious claim has been a recurring preoccupation of this administration.
There’s just one thing missing from their scenario: actual Right-wing terrorists in large numbers. And so they have to be invented. Whistleblowers have revealed that Biden’s FBI was pressuring agents to classify cases as “domestic violent extremism” (DVE) when they weren’t, and rewarding them when they did so.
Meanwhile, the actual Left-wing terrorists who committed the act of terrorism at Harden’s pro-life center remain uncaught, unpunished, and unchallenged.
Harden even suggested during his appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show that maybe the FBI itself is behind the firebombing of pro-life centers. Surely the feds wouldn’t stoop so low, would they? Would they?

DemoCraps at Work being Racist
Secret Recording Shows Racial Truths Behind LA Woke Politics
“I see a lot of little short dark people.”
These are not low-level politicians, they’re the local woke establishment. And in private, they say what they think.
In the recording, Council President Nury Martinez says of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, “F___ that guy, he’s with the Blacks.”
The revealing parts aren’t the racial slurs in Spanish, but the matter-of-fact racial realpolitik.
Cedillo: Yeah, that’s called K-Town. Yeah.
Martinez: I see a lot of little short dark people. Oxacan, Korean. Not even like Kevin, little ones. I was like, I don’t know what village they came from, how they got here, but
Herrera: I get what we have to do, right? Just message to create distincts that benefit you all. And the future too…
Martinez: If he resigns, hold on, if he resigns, and the African-Americans look at this as a hostile takeover because he’s gone. We’ll have to figure that S— out because politically they’re gonna come after us.
De Leon: Yeah, but can i say something right now. And this is what I call the coso se llama is the movie, the uh Wizard of Oz effect, and what I mean by the Wizard of Oz effect: you’re at the side of the curtain, is like this big voice, like thousands, but then you actually pull the curtain is that you see the little wizard
You know what? It’s the same thing.
Herrera: All right, it’s real simple. You got 100 people, right, 52 of them are Mexicano, I feel pretty good about it, about my chances of beating your ass
Cedillo: Twenty-five or so are black and the 25 blacks are shouting
De Leon: But they shout like they’re 250, when there’s 100 of us
There’s the unapologetic colorism. And the naked truths about the racial dynamics of political power behind all that wokeness.

Meghan Markle said to be ‘tiring’ of ‘needy’ Prince Harry
They’re often seen loved up and can’t seem to keep their hands off each other, but Meghan and Harry’s marriage has been called into question.
Speaking of the Sussexes’ California life, Brown told the crowd: “It’s not very pleasant to be a D-list celebrity who, for them, doesn’t have enough money. It’s a wholly different game to be with those super-rich people.
“In Montecito, where they live, their $14 million mansion is a humble cottage compared to what these other people have.”
The Diana Chronicles and Palace Papers author then went on to joke, “Yes, and at some point, it might be more than a new house she’s looking for,” before adding, “Elon Musk is still single; that’s all I have to say.”
(Let’s just pause here for a moment to enjoy the truly bonkers image of Meghan and Musk, the erratic billionaire father-of-10, as a couple and her trying wrangle him into her Frank Gehry-designed meditation yurt to realign his energy centres in between him working on colonising Mars.)
In another report from the same publication, Bower also said: “I think the funeral awakened some misery in him that he was so cut off from his family and friends and was an outsider. And I think that puts great pressure on their relationship.”
(In that same piece Bower said that the Duke “clings” to wife “like a needy man, like a life raft” and that Harry had been left “damaged” and “very disturbed” by the disintegration of his parents’ marriage and mother’s death.)

Just once one of these conservatives should come out and state the obvious: alarmists are lunatics, commies and scum and should be fed to pigs and used as fertilizer. And then there’s Jennifer Oriel who is just so fucking measured as she calmly outlines the Armageddon the liars and the filth and that hirsute shit, cannon-brookes, have planned for us.
Upsetting so here’s a cute owl.

Right.
O’Connors are big Case agents. The Mallee Mafia they’re jokingly called. They have lots of gear, new and second hand plus a big inventory of parts.
Service and parts play a big role in purchase decisions. JD have a good rep too but aren’t as close to us as Case.
Vetch is a legume usually for forage but some folk eat the seed. It needs soaking to get toxins out before use.
There’s lots of wild vetch around. It has tendrils like peas with a purple flower and small narrow leaves. It had a long seed pod with seed like a small dark pea.
Okay Duncanm
Perhaps I shouldn’t have linked the article to avoid misunderstandings. My point was even if a bike path is provided, there is no obligation for cyclists to use it, some will continue to use the road.
As I observed driving home this evening.
Why is it that government “health” ministers are all so gargantuan?

All this talk of overseas trips is going to send sometime pub singers across the nation into conniptions.
And why shouldn’t it? Posters flaunting their clotshot passports on holidays to USA, Japan, Fiji (all still requiring the nazi pass), NZ and Cook Islands (only recently lifted). I’m with Struth. You have betrayed those that resisted and continue to resist the covid regime. All for an effing holiday.
I DO NOT require a vaxx “passport” to enter Japan. I am in transit.
I am not “flaunting” anything.
Nothing is stopping you getting a ticket to the UK, FPV.
It’s a beautiful day in London.
Happy to report my boy is leaving California for Arizona. The wife is missing him something shocking.
You dont need a vax to enter Japan. They will accept a PCR test.

And another thing before I head off to the Great Metropolis…
I don’t understand the anger. You’re safe from death-by-vaxx and I’m doomed to die horribly. You know…tick, tick, tick. An overseas holiday is small beer in exchange for a life.
But the thing is…you don’t really believe it, do you? It’s just a stick to cane those who did something you don’t approve of.
Hello again Mrs St. Ruth.
There’s two people who pointed out you’re wrong already.
No NAZI! PASS! to enter Japan.
Seems like a common fault amongst some.
All this travel. How times change.
When I was a nipper nobody knew anybody who’d been overseas (1914-1918 & 1939-1945 trips with the army excepted)
Then the town shopkeeper, who’d worked all his life, went on a “world trip” (several weeks in Europe)
When he returned he pinned two postcards on the front door of his shop, one from England & one from France.
Over the next several weeks, the whole district came & spent a few minutes each, just looking at those postcards.
Everybody looked at them so much they’d have been able to draw them from memory.
Don’t them spoil for you, calli.
Ok so the WA mongement has just canned a planned dam which was to be used for agriculture in WAs Southwest (the damp bit of WA)
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-11/southern-forest-irrigation-scheme-shelved-wa-farmers/101522720
A multimillion-dollar irrigation scheme that was set to secure water for farmers in the WA’ South West has been scrapped after new modelling indicated predicted rainfall figures would not support its current incarnation.
The Southern Forests Irrigation scheme was first mooted in 2014 with the broad goal of harnessing water from the Donnelly River for horticultural and agricultural production in the shire of Manjimup.
The report on the website didnt bell the cat as much as the radio version i heard.
The ‘new modelling” was based on CSIRO modelling of rainfall after the effects of climate change.
So in effect observable historical data has been shitcanned for the computer models.
A question.
If these models turned out to be incorrect could farmers affected sue for loss of earnings?
who? CSIRO?/government?
Or this mysterious mob..
However, opponents of the project raised doubts in the mind of the state government, who sought updated modelling from the CSIRO before withdrawing support for the scheme as it stood.
Heres one of those x-spurts..
Kim Taylor, a former director-general of the Department of Water who also ran the Office of the Environmental Protection Authority, said the case for the Southern Forests Irrigation Scheme was “critically flawed”.
So a deep green swamp creature with an inside run to the governments ear helped scupper the project.
Growing up on a farm near Hamilton, we’d be lucky to get a trip to pea soup once year. How times have changed indeed.
Anyone know what the RSL’s policy on the AWM’s new galleries?
I’m not, bespoke. The whole argument is just dumb, except for those of an authoritarian bent.
I reiterate – Europe is lovely in Autumn. Buy a ticket. Refuse patronage to places that exclude you. Middle finger them. And enjoy your life…it isn’t a dress rehearsal.
Tokyo is something else. Hopefully you have enough time to do what you want to do.
Unfortunately Japanese like their masks. Latest research is around 40% want to take them off, but wont, due to social conformity, even though the gov has clearly said that wearing outside is not really necessary.
Haven’t seen any statement so far.
Novak Djokovic excepted…in Australia at least.
Because politicians need to save face.
Huh? Joker is free to come surely. Aus is fully open now isnt it?
A food preservative that is deadly as cyanide?
This is just rank stupidity.
(From wikipedia)
Lethal dose or concentration (LD, LC):
LD50 (median dose) 3236 mg/kg
You’d have to eat 21 grams of NaNO3 salt to die.
Which is roughly the same as NaCl, common table salt! (estimated to be 3000 – 10,000 mg/kg).
Note well:
The parents who are suing, are just grifters.
The kids could have just as easily taken their life in many others, I’m not going to suggest any.
You can die if you drink too much water.
“Great Metropolis” is London. Dickens referred to it as such in an essay.
I am not visiting Tokyo, but transiting.
So glad I bought WDS recently.
Closed countries indicate this deadly feature. Take note now because it will all be memory holed. The US is a classic example of rank hypocrisy.
The evil old Biden cunt really seems to be pushing for WWWIII. Did I hear something about our miserable pollimuppets sending Australian personnel over there?
I see. Only been to London once, back in 2019 just before all the nonsense, also went to Paris during the same trip.
IMHO – London >>>>> Paris by far!

I reckon we have to either fall into the abyss – nuclear weapons used or so , so close. This war is only going to end when in one of those two scenarios I think.
Poking the hornets nest.
I have started to defend small cap mining CEOs on HotCopper.
Couple of inches isn’t too bad. But your right given the ground is saturated, the stream flow will be great.
Woodside. Their code changed recently (WDL formerly?).
No. Given his three year exclusion sentence imposed by the Morrison government he’ll need a ministerial decision in his favour if he’s to play in the 2023 Australian Open. Not much support from either side of politics thus far.

Dan Tehan & Karen Andrews
Their view is the Joker should be kept in purgatory for several years for being chucked out, despite his entering the country on a valid visa & meeting all requirements.
We most definitely did the right thing voting out Slomo & his mob of cud-chewing underperformers.
Thanks Gez at 7:11.
O’Connors.
With a name like that surely they are more Sinn Fein than Mafia!
It strikes me that they rarely advertise a specific piece of kit, but always emphasise their back-up maintenance in their adverts.
A tried and true business model along the lines of “selling shovels to miners”.
Most seasons you still have to drive their kit around in square circles and wear it out, whether you barely break-even or not.
Mrs St Ruth at 7:21:-
I am struggling to find the words to tell you how little I care for your bleating.

ZK2A:
They supply their own.
Yes, I know it won’t work to the point that old people will be left to die, but isn’t that what happened previously to the arrival of Western concepts of law & order, and medicine?
We keep telling the aboriginals they have a problem, so according to their way of thinking, having identified the problem and communicating it to them it’s OUR job to fix it.
So they sit there, waiting, not helping, because that’s THEIR custom.
The current situation is like a father telling the Social Services that he will feed his wife and kids if they double his credit card limit so he can drink and gamble more. It’s emotional blackmail and it’s working to the tune of $34 Billion per year.
“When you pay the Danegeld, the Dane will never go away.” And that’s why the Humanitarian disaster that is the camps, will never be solved.
Mid morning east to west took me over two and a half hours today, accident on the Eastern but getting off the freeway was no better, was choked through Balwyn back to Hoddle as well.
Just a shade over an hour return trip around six pm.
What we really need in Melbourne is more bike lanes.
Farmers maintaining their own gear? Oil and filter changes, mechanical parts replacement (hydraulic leak fixes – burst hoses etc) OK, but have you seen the computers and electronics involved?
Calli.
Try to dismiss the JAL mask thing as a Japanese quirk, and enjoy the rest of it.
We are thinking of Japan about this time next year. We are hoping it will be first of several trips so happy to go “shoulder season” as far as autumn colour goes.
Looking forward to reports from the front line.
Was under the impression Melbourne has already had a lot of rain.
True enough Jezz,
Our family outfit (son – cattle, daughter grain) actually contracted a strategist.
Her first demand was that my daughter end her policy of hiring the guy down the road to service and upgrade the capital equipment, but stick with the vendors.
If i was not so terrified of my daughter, I would have cheered.

Terror on the Crimea Bridge forces Russia to unleash Shock’n Awe
MI6 does have some well-placed moles in Moscow, relatively speaking. The Brits had warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the General Staff that the Russians would be launching a “warning strike” this Monday.
What happened was no “warning strike,” but a massive offensive of over 100 cruise missiles launched “from the air, sea and land,” as Putin noted, against Ukrainian “energy, military command and communications facilities.”
MI6 also noted “the next step” will be the complete destruction of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
That’s not a “next step:” it’s already happening. Power supply is completely gone in five regions, including Lviv and Kharkov, and there are serious interruptions in other five, including Kiev.
Over 60 percent of Ukrainian power grids are already knocked out. Over 75 percent of internet traffic is gone. Elon Musk’s Starlink netcentric warfare has been “disconnected” by the Ministry of Defense.
Shock’n Awe will likely progress in three stages.
First: Overload of the Ukrainian air defense system (already on).
Second: Plunging Ukraine into the Dark Ages (already in progress).
Third: Destruction of all major military installations (the next wave).
Ukraine is about to embrace nearly total darkness in the next few days. Politically, that opens a completely new ball game. Considering Moscow’s trademark “strategic ambiguity,” this could be a sort of Desert Storm remixed (massive air strikes preparing a ground offensive); or, more likely, an ‘incentive’ to force NATO to negotiate; or just a relentless, systematic missile offensive mixed with Electronic Warfare (EW) to shatter for good Kiev’s capacity to wage war.
Or it could be all of the above.
How a humiliated western Empire can possibly raise the stakes now, short of going nuclear, remains a key question. Moscow has shown admirable restraint for too long. No one should ever forget that in the real Great Game – how to coordinate the emergence of the multipolar world – Ukraine is just a mere sideshow. But now the sideshow runners better run for cover, because General Armageddon is on the loose.
Interesting Review
Reminder from Previous Thread Post
Has a Quisling GOP Enabled a Desperate October Surprise?
On October 6, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zenenskyy called on NATO to launch “preemptive strikes” into Russia to “make it impossible for Russia to use nuclear weapons.” On the same day as Zelenskyy’s call for a preemptive strike, Joe Biden said that the threat of nuclear “Armageddon” is at its highest level since the Cuban missile crisis, and that the United States is trying to find an “off-ramp” for Russia before they begin the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Finally, there was the Ukrainian bombing of the the only bridge connecting annexed Crimea to the Russian mainland—a momentous move that most likely could not have been taken without U.S. military support, and which has already led to a massive escalation of Russia’s attack on Ukrainian cities and the credible threat of using tactical nuclear weapons in response.
The big question now is not whether the Biden regime is prepared to risk everything to prevent devastating electoral losses and congressional investigations. The real question is why have Republicans been complicit in, nay enthusiastic supporters of, this disastrous proxy war that has already resulted in the energy and food supply disruptions roiling Europe and about to roil the United States?
Normal American voters, who regard it as madness to pour billions of taxpayer dollars into a war defending the ostensibly sacred borders of Ukraine while allowing an illegal invasion of millions over our own nation’s porous southern border, can be forgiven for wondering who in Washington is sticking up for their interests.
Who benefits from the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage? The answer is obvious. A regime facing devastating electoral losses in just over a month.

Melbourne’s rainfall measured at Olympic Park for winter and spring is 50mm less than my place which is meant to be in the dry north.
We’re wet but not flooded by any means but there are areas not far away that have copped half as much again as we’ve had.
We are going in Dec. No Nazi pass required thankfully.

I haven’t been back through the rainfall records, but I can’t remember it being so boggy in spring since I was a kid (way back last century).
And, whilst we aren’t exactly on fast-draining sandbelt golf course territory, it is hardly heavy clay country either.
I think we have had just the right amount of rain to keep it at saturation point, without huge run-off.
How Inflation Precipitates Societal Collapse
Academy of Ideas
I don’t really trust Martin Armstrong, but sometimes he makes sense:
Denmark and Estonia are rejecting any Russians and canceling their visas. The scary part is that China, North Korea, Iran, and Syria, just to name a few, know that Russia cannot be allowed to fall, for they will be next. There seems to be nobody even contemplating a world if Russia was to be defeated or if the world divides. All of this for a strip of land occupied by Russians for centuries? No. It is about a long-seething hatred that has existed for more than a century, and Ukraine is the excuse. There is no resolution until the death count rises substantially. This will NEVER end; even if Putin withdrew, the West would move in for the kill.

Who cares? They ceased to be of interest to me when they ‘transitioned’ from the ‘Returned Servicemens League’ to the ‘Returned and Services League’.
Their original remit was to care for military members returning from WW1 (ie Veterans with war service). Their current remit is diluted simply to any serving/ex serving members. IMHO, there is a big difference here. With only a few exceptions, simply serving in the military at home is not worthy of the same recognition.

My conclusion is that the right is being consistent in supporting the bully, while the left consistently supports the less powerful. Thus in the Bush era the right was all in for both Gulf Wars,
A question for m0nty-fa.
Now that he has convinced himself that the reason the left now supports US wars is that the left consistently supports the” less powerful”, why was the left so against the First Gulf War (1990-91). In that War, the US was supporting the vastly weaker Kuwait against the much stronger Iraq.
That is the Iraq that started a war with Iran in the early 1980s, and used both mustard gas and nerve gas in that war, used both mustard and nerve gas against his own citizens, and specifically against the less powerful Kurds, then invaded the much less powerful Kuwait.
The use of mustard and nerve gases was a clear war crime, yet the left opposed the operation to free Kuwait. Pliss essplain, m0nty-fa.
My gauge in Western Vic up to now: 480mm, annual average, 480mm.

I also predicted, a while back, that COVID was merely a ‘target of opportunity’, and the ‘klimate emergency’ would be the real ‘cassus belli’ in the continuation war.
Furthermore, the real targets in war are
The power system
The transport system
The petroleum system
The food supply.
You will note that ALL 4 of these key targetsets are now being attacked by the green movement.
I’ve heard it said that that’s why the houses and communities generally are such a mess – in supplying an Aborigine with anything like that, you are accepting responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep. They sit and wait for someone to come along and repair the damage.

I can’t say I disagree, despite knowing some reservists who’ve got fantastic support from them for domestic deployments like the 2008/2009 fires. Having said that, the treatment of Vietnam vets still echos in how they’re viewed. It’s a strong reason why the remit was extended.

Secondly, it is saying that because it is having a “scitsafrinia attack” then it is a ‘victim’ and not responsible for it’s behavior.
Thirdly, crying like a 5 year old who is being made to go to bed will change the outcome of its dilemma.

I think Chutzpah is the right word, claiming that power cuts will result from Putin shutting off gas supplies. These people are allied to someone who blew up their gas supply lines, and the only one left can’t be used because of EU/NATO sanctions.
And then they blame the Russians, go figure.
