Contradicted?
It appears Gummi is correct in that they’re “eastward expansion” relates to East Germany. Where are they talking about other countries such as the Baltics being precluded to join.
What’s that have to do with the price of free range eggs? The fact is that Russia attacked Ukraine in the correct belief that NATO troops wouldn’t be used. Therefore NATO was never a threat to Russia. This is something you appear to skirt over, without giving it due recognition.
That’s just being ridiculous. Numerous countries that joined NATO have direct borders with Russia. Ukraine is a threat to Putin’s governing system, it’s not a military security threat in the least.
Imagine if the old Catallaxy blog had down ticks. Would love a dollar for every one Bob Numbers would have scored. LOL. Keep the ticks Dover. They wouldn’t be slowing the blog.
Lizzie,
Just in case you missed it Dover has already said ticks are history so no need to keep going on about special treatment for you.
Woof. The Hendo Express is on time.
LOL. Knowing the history of your country is not obsession or backward-looking or grievance central. It’s actually a sign of a healthy respect for and love of your country, nation, or people and I would love to live in a country where the PM had a grounding in our history and was intricately aware of political/social/ economic issues circumstances of early Federation let alone colonial politics.
The $20 billion isn’t “raised”. It already exists and the proposal is to steal it from the people who have it and give it to the government.
The proposal has come from ANU, so that explains it.
Says the pos talking about a ham sandwiches, informing the blog he’s labor royalty, spamming the site with pubbling when he doesn’t, and has never owned a pub, getting involved in other people’s stoushes. Giving “expert” advice to the current blog owner on running a blog when his own accumulated 279 comments in 15 years, telling the blog he fired a person because he burned the toast, continual outback spamming.
Yeah, people get a life and what a life it is too.
Where is the chlamydia ford article? Does anyone have a link?
We live in the current, not WTF happened in 1631 as though that has some pertinent meaning to the discussion of why he fears the the US (grounded of course). History certainly has its place, distant history to explain an invasion is bullshit.

@walterkirn
The WH press corps got the signal tonight that it was safe to go into attack mode & make up for lost time. It duly obeyed. Reporters who once competed to throw softballs suddenly competed to hurl stones. What a weird little mob of robots. It was actually chilling to witness.
As usual Walter Kirn gives the most clear & concise take.
Thanks Load, for your observations. I still remember el Trumpo very clearly stating he had told the Pute that if the latter were to attack certain countries, “those coloured domes in Moscow would be incinerated”.
By the way, I have no problem with Tucker going to Moscow to interview the Pute, someone needed to do it. Good thing it was the most high profile journalist on the planet. Oh – and congrats again, Fox, for sacking Tucker, you hapless idiots.
Wow,,, trigggggggered, like a teenage girl.

Also, more controversial, require those with 2+ investment units to house peoples at a standard rate adjusted for inflation.

“WTF, just read about the doxxing of Jewish people by Clem Ford and others. Outrageous to say the least.”
It continues. Just like a frenzied, frothing, and hate filled mob of mainly Muslims and some leftists on Monday night 9 October 2023, on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, danced around a burning Israeli flag, set of flares and screamed and screeched “kill the Jews”, “gas the Jews” (I still maintain those words were said) and perhaps the most sinister…….”where’s the Jews”. I remember that Monday night, I witnessed the ugliness at Town Hall (where it started), and then was told by NSW Police that Sydney’s CBD was ‘Judenfrei”. As the Mocker writes in his superb piece in today’s Oz, “perhaps the mob was they screaming “where’s the Jews” to buy them gelato”?
I think not.
Just like the Muslim and leftist protest in the Jewish suburb of Caulfield, on the Sabbath, in front of a synagogue, a protest deliberately designed to threaten and intimidate Caulfield’s Jews. Or perhaps those Muslims and leftists went to Caulfield to wish the Jews a Shabbat Shalom?
I think not.
Just like the mainly Muslim and leftist convoy, on a Saturday evening, drove (with a NSWaffen police escort) all the way from Sydney’s western suburbs to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where it just so happens more than a few Jews live, again designed to threaten and intimidate Sydney’s Jews. Or perhaps this convey was travelling to Sydney’s eastern suburbs to wish the Jews a “shavua tov”.
I think not.
I could go on, don’t forget those ugly scenes in Melbourne when grieving Israeli families at a Melbourne hotel and were subjected to a mob of screaming and screeching Muslim and leftist activists who invaded the hotel. Or perhaps the mob was there to wish the Israelis a happy holiday?
I think not.
Despite the explosion of Jew hatred in this country and across the West, I’m one tough Jew, and this Jew is not for turning. But I will and I do weep for this country, because it isn’t the country I grew up in. I remember the days when synagogues, Jewish schools and Jewish communal organisations, hospitals and aged care homes did not require massive security like they do now. Yes, there was anti-Semitism in Australian in the 1970s, 1960s and earlier but it wasn’t like the unhinged genocidal Jew hatred we are witnessing now. So, what has caused the change? Well, I’ll leave that question for you all to ponder.
Deadly attacks on Jews always follows the same inevitable deadly path, first verbal and physical insults, unhinged rhetoric, intimidation, stalking, doxxing and the last? Jews are murdered.
Just further to Chlamydia Ford, Jack the Insider has given her a thorough smacking down in a piece put up on the Oz website this afternoon. Worth reading.
Am Yisrael Chai.
I see you are just doubling down. Did you read down to
Why would Poland come up if these discussions were only about East Germany. It makes no sense that NATO forces in East Germany would be a red line but NATO forces in other former Soviet bloc countries would not. Your not addressing this but it is fatal to the argument.
You said that NATO could easily deal with Russia. I countered with, Not without a massive commitment from the US. Sans the US none of those countries could manage an offensive against Russia because they can barely even undertake a policing action. Re this thing I’m skirting over, no. NATO troops would not be used directly because Russia intervened before Ukraine was a member of NATO but I think they understood that NATO resources [would be used]; whether they understood how [much] NATO resources would be involved I don’t know.
None of those countries is the size of Ukraine, has the material resources of Ukraine, or sits geographically in a position that poses a strategic threat to Russia. That you ignore this by imagining its simply about Putin, and that no other Russian leader thinks that Ukraine in NATO is a strategic threat to Russia is beyond ridiculous.

the current administration makes incompetents look competent.
the west has been swept with a marxist disease, it’s not that its failing, it’s already fallen
This is what happens when a Government is dependent on the Mooslime vote, in certain inner city seats.
So, both Kohl and Gorby are lying then? Direct quotes from these two and they’re lying?
The point, which I’ve explained twice, is that if there ever was a time for direct NATO intervention it would be now. But Russian nuclear deterrence has obviously prevented that and therefore the notion of Russian security that Putin is talking about is bullshit.
Good, so now we’re getting somewhere by admitting Putin wanted Ukraine for Russian strategic purposes. The history lesson is nonsense then. And yet, with all those strategic resources in the Ukraine, NATO boots are not on the ground.
I’m not ignoring anything. Putin is currently the president and that’s who we’re talking about.
Hey, Chlamydia, why don’t you just demand they wear yellow stars instead?

First, during its rise to power in the 1920sthe Nazi movement adeptly exploited artistic and cultural issues to un-derscore its own Germanic authenticity, to undermine the legitimacy ofthe allegedly “degenerate” Weimar Republic, and to stigmatize Jews,Communists, Social Democrats, and others as culturally “alien.
It’s fun that Joe was totally with it and doing awesome diplomacy about a week ago, yet now he’s suddenly senile.
I wonder when Jill’s dirt files start making an appearance? After fifty years in the Dem swamp those files must be pretty extensive. Especially since for all the Joe-is-gaga stuff he’s still the only realistic candidate in the Dem primaries.
Ok they’re Joe’s dirt files not Jill’s, but we all know who is running this show. Some interesting stuff is festering under the sticky surface. I wonder when it will explode outwards?

Trigggggered x 100.
Foul language – lies – ahistorical falsehoods.
Someone is losing their cool.
Grow up.
They can legitimately depict him as gay. And openly so. Not a big shock – Alexander was a fan of Athens and Athenian society viewed homosexuality as a higher form of attachment: lots of youths canoodling in the shadow of pending battle, and lots of corpulent men lolling about at banquets fondling their calamities so they can’t even pour their wine straight – for this last part just read Plato. (Plato would laugh at what we now call ‘platonic’ love.)
Alexander was devoted to his boyhood friend, Hephaestion. They were together throughout the tumultuous years in the ME -all captured in the fabulous sarcophagus in the museum in Istanbul, where they are depicted both hunting & in warfare together against the Persians. He was said to be distraught when Hephaestion died of some sort of infectious disease in their last years in Persia. Thinking Hephaestion may have been poisoned by a local, he is said to have had the entire local community killed. I doubt if he ever got over the loss of him & he himself died not that long after.
Whether it was a homosexual relationship – who knows, who cares? In the Getty museum in Los Angeles (the one modelled on a Roman villa) there are two busts of Alexander and Hephaestion displayed together. I am a romantic – when I see this, & the magnificent carving of them both on the sarcophagus (said to have been made for Alexander) I think to myself – there they are, together forever.
“You know, this is fcking tragic. Russian/Ukrainians are European people. They should both be part of NATO and the EU.”
Correct….and this is what commentators like Peter Hitchens have argued for decades.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the West should have set up a Marshall type plan. Instead they did nothing.

Only in a small minority of cases of those now furiously downticking, because:-
1. Many actually have nothing to say;
2. They will have to out themselves as agreeing or opposing a position; and
3. Because of the gaming of ticks, the twenty downticks would convert to one comment. Maybe.

The Special Counsel has concluded that Biden did not have intent? Just like the FBI concluded Clinton did have intent when she maintained an illegal server?
Is proving intent a necessary element to the potential criminal charge/s? I was under the impression that in Clinton’s case, proving intent was NOT necessary?
The conclusion that no jury would find Biden guilty due to his PRESENT (perceived) cognitive capacity seems strange. I would have thought that his cognitive capacity at the time of the alleged crime/s – when he was VP – would be the relevant period to examine?
… Clinton did NOT have intent…
Obsession isn’t the same as being aware of history. Obsession has led him to believe there are grievances that need to be repaid. It blinds him to the nuances of the past, trapping him in a cycle of resentment and vengeance.

Ukraine isn’t a member of NATO. Short of involving itself directly NATO is doing everything from providing Ukraine with weapons and IRS.
No, I didn’t say Putin wanted Ukraine for strategic purposes, I said Putin and every other Russian leader wants NATO out of Ukraine for strategic purposes. On the latter point, NATO has expended hundreds of billions, emptied its arsenal, and is in the process of deindustrializing, but sure, this has meant nothing to NATO.
You are, you’re pretending that Ukraine in NATO is only being opposed by Putin for his own personal reasons, and that no other Russian leader would think that there are any strategic reasons to oppose the above.

And as the Derro is reading his Newspaper, he says to the Priest. “How do you get arthritis?” The Priest who is in a right huff says. “Well you get it from drinking and smoking and having sex with loose Women and being a really nawty boy.” And the Derro says, “Thanks for that”.
Then the Priest says, “Look I am so sorry for being so short with you. I apologise. So how long have you had the arthritis?
And the Derro says. “It’s not me but I just read in the Paper that the Pope has it”

Nothing strange about it. What did want want the negotiations to be about if not about outstanding issues like Crimea, Donbas, Ukrainian neutrality or the like?
What is their motivation to lie and why? Instead, your link offers an account with no specific quotes from people to support what you’re suggesting. If this is your only argument then, there’s nothing else to be said.
That’s not the point, though is it? You’re deliberately skirting over the fundamental point.
Obviously, not because of a border issue, seeing several former Soviet blocs are now part of NATO. It was exactly like you suggested. Ukraine is seen as too strategically important because of what’s in the ground etc. Greed and self-aggrandizement better explains it.
Assume, 10% “industrialization” in NATO. It’s low, but lets go with a low ball figure because it would offer more comfort to you. NATO is 45% of the world economy. It still dwarfs Russia by the size of Siberia.

Many people Jewish and others have gone to Israel to assist in harvesting and other essential work while so many are called up.
Many have also gone to fight in the IDF, including Australians which has also made certain people very angry, demanding that anyone that does so get prosecuted.
I personally couldn’t cope with the abuse dished out to the Jewish people I follow on twitter, death threats, rape threats, pernicious trolling, revelling in the suffering of hostages and their families, it never stops but they soldier on, defending themselves in word and deed.

Hence my reference to the catamites having trouble pouring wine.
I would hate people to think that Í made senseless references.
I also expect a downticker who has suddenly realised that he has been using wine bottles wrong all these years, and a bottle of champagne does not have to bring your eyes to tears or entail a trip to St Vincents late at night with improbably stories about it falling off the top shelf and somehow…well, you get the gist.

Yes JC the shiny plaques on the footpaths around the Jewish quarter and Trastevere in Rome are poignant, as are the wall plaques on schools in the 4th and 8th arrondissements in Paris numbering the Jewish children sent to their deaths, far more in number than the fallen resistance members individually memorialised.
What always astounded me was how long it took for even the plaques to go up took.
Iirc the Paris ones were placed in 2005.
And there are still thousands of artworks stolen from Jewish families that are still sitting in French and other galleries, only now having their provenances checked while others are still subject to ongoing legal action.
Doesn’t say much about taking responsibility for what they did, and what they failed to do.
Funny how the day started with some low-grade contretemps over nothing much and now ends with more ritual insults at wifi paces by the usual suspects.

Sorry, should read “continue to be an incontinent, retarded little girl”.
Thanks ML, didn’t know the Ganymede angle. Had to look up catamite when reading Burgess’ Earthly Powers, one of the best opening lines evah.

So you blocked me and then unblocked me. Sounds perfectly logical. But you still left the comment even though you were well aware you had been blocked. You’re making as much sense as you normally do, which is zero.
Enuff, as this is boring now.

I always use Free Speech which you cannot type. You typed the word ‘fee’. Dipstick.
As for Limey – Go back to being a Yank in NYC
And as for being a crook – Again no proof.
So I will belt in with this.
You are a fat arsed short arse bigoted Mafioso Bully. A Pompous Windbag to boot. Living in Sictoria which shows you that you have no idea about where to live in this Great Country.
And I will call you a WOG as well. Call me a Pommy and I will call you a WOG.
Looks like the hive has decided the excuse for Premier Minns laughing at a question about the stabbing of a 70 year old lady was…. “context”..
https://www.theguardian.com/media/commentisfree/2024/feb/09/no-laughing-matter-the-context-missing-from-sky-newss-report-on-steven-miles-and-youth
The new Labor leader, who succeeded Annastacia Palaszczuk in December, answered “it was a speech about housing” and “I figured I’d get a question”, which prompted laughter from the room. The premier had, after all, just answered several questions about crime – and none about housing from the media.
When Walters asked again about the “absence of any reference to youth crime in your speech” Miles smiled wryly and then giggled, seemingly amused at the tone and the persistence of the questioner.
This exchange with Walters, who has a habit of asking long-winded questions, was fashioned into a story about how the premier laughed when he was asked questions about crime.
Sky News also ran part of the earlier exchange but not the laughter of the audience.
Cue the negative stories which rolled out across News Corp, the Daily Mail and social media.
Peculiarly its very difficult to find any trace of the thing on youtube.

You are really pathetic.
..
Yes.
It’s not hard to understand,
You idiot.
The moron:
Woddenhead, go talk to to the ladyboy and give us some piece, you limey crook.
It’s spelled peace retard.

Correct.
Your comprehension skills are on the ball for once.
Rosie, thanks, yeah.
It wasn’t until I saw them in the Rome Jewish Quarter that I knew about them. What struck me was how visceral and vivid it was imaging the horror of what occurred, and looking at the buildings made it real. It shook me up.
He’ll probably choose option B.
However this doesn’t rule out option A being selected.
Enuff, as this is boring now.
Boring to who? And it is not enough (correct spelling) to me, You Farking Tosser.
Now They Want Us to STOP BACKYARD GARDENING? What’s Next?
..
Precisely what I told you originally, years ago.
Didn’t stop you from going on an almost year long rant against me on here complete with nicknames and insults, whether I replied or not.
Now you are bored.
Tough shit.
Kez thanks, I know.
I want to congratulate you on making the first worthwhile contribution since you been posting stupid comments here.
Agree?
Correct.
Your comprehension skills are on the ball for once.
This Tosser has no skills whatsoever. Apart from being a T.W.A.T.
Watching the blog’s most uncontrolled personality have meltdown in real time is many things.

I agree. Kick this poster/imposter in the nuts. No backing down from a twat like this.
In 2007 Time magazine not only interviewed Putin but made him their Person of the Year .
Here’s some of the interview, it makes for interesting viewing.
My last word on ticks. Just keep an uptick so people can see some merit, or not, in what they have posted.
Disagreeing posters can use the blog to express their disagreement and others can agree, or not, with that response…
Yesterday I decided the most interesting thing I could do was explore the Italian health sector after a week of discomfort and with my asthma being under control wondering what the problem could be.
Pleasantly surprised, especially after multiple experiences with a family member of the Melbourne hospital emergency system in September and October, with so many people and so many hours of waiting, waiting, waiting.
Could only be described as quiet, quick, efficient and most importantly, resolved.
There was quite a period of time when I was the only patient in emergency.
That doesn’t happen in Colac.

You are even more pathetic when you run away with other comments.
Are you a Man or a Mouse?
This sounds dictatorial to me.
I am not happy that the ticks have been removed. Often they have afforded me a glimpse of the reception of what I have put up here which is often related to my Christian faith (Catholic). I sometime use the tick/s as a gauge to see whether I have been able to share an article. Even 1 tick is evidence that I’ve shared it with another.
We learned the answer to that when after threatening all & sundry with a bet he believed they’d be unable to match, he got offered a bet that would take some real skin off him – turned out he didn’t have the balls to match his mouth.
Thus:
Man ormouse.Trump running his mouth at the Nevada gig.
Shut up man.
Silence is golden.
Especially on days like today.
He will either live and thrive by the sword or die and fade away by it.
He leaves no scope for saying he was misunderstood. He says it and then stands by it. Nothing wrong with that. It may be his downfall but it is his call.
Nope. It’s poetry in motion.

.P. There are no ticks, They are thumbs. If you can’t see that then you need to go to Spec Savers along with Junior Cretin and all the other Cretins..
Oh FFS. Nicholas Reece is now Steve Price’s useful leftwing idiot on Sky News on Friday night when Reece is already Paul Murray’s useful leftwing idiot Sunday to Thursday.
You idiots. Too many leftwing idiots is not a winning strategy.
Gunther Rothenberg’s book “The Art of Warfare in the Age of Napoleon” mentions the Spanish campaign, where, with Napoleon far away, generals and marshal’s brought their mistresses into the field, some like Massena and Fournier several at the same time. (Page 88.)
How many mistresses does one French General need, in the field?
… and a Chihuahua
Typo, mole: Premier Miles.
And I don’t think the hive is playing very well in QLD atm.
You can’t even buy a paper copy of The Guardian up here unless you’re in certain south east metro post codes.
And the ego comes out of the dirty laundry basket. You wouldn’t know who blocked who first. It shows exactly your problem. You can’t accept being shown up for being a transparent, egoistic doofus.
It wasn’t the point. The point was that you knew you were blocked, as you said on the recording. It’s disturbing because you don’t know your limits.
Personally I like the ticks.
For example Tom in the early morning can see people appreciate his effort in putting up the toons.
When Cassie has a good rant she knows people are supporting her. Or when Rosie is doing her travel reporting and even Lizzie when she travels.
Or such as when Digger had his rant about Lambie. TE when he posts something historical.
Or when you can see when somebody has made an effort to comment on a subject or made a witty reply.
I think it helps people know they reached somebody and that is important. If I make a comment at the Australian and it gets over 100 likes I do appreciate it.
I think those concerned about downticks are a very small group. For some it became an obsession that probably motivated their downtickers even more. There was an obvious downticking campaign this morning which was clearly designed to upset some of the lady commentators. It might also have been intended to cause the response that ticking removed.
Something will be lost if people can’t see any response. It was also a useful sign of support if there was a stoush going on. Naturally some did not like that.
I know it’s Friday, but isn’t it a bit early for the vitriol to be up to eleventy?
You may know that Rothenberg ended his days in Oz, Zulu.
And he never quite got over the government taking his blunderbusses off him.
I see the Year 9 girls’ ‘You’re-a-tart-No!-YOU’RE-a-tart’ slapping contest has spilled from the toilets after P.E. again.

Thank you JMH. I always knew that the Fat Pizza blokes could not spell the Engrish……………LOL
Forgive me Woddenhead, but have I missed something you said I haven’t replied to?
This?
You’re obviously an individual of gifted intelligence, numbnuts. Your comments are killers and the place is lucky to have you. Privileged even.
Not so sure that’s right, BoN (waaaay upthread).
One of my three predictions for 2024 at Briggs’ site was that Iceland would be close to destroyed, and I see no reason to change that.
I am not a seismologist, and couldn’t discern a caldera from a fedora, but the fissures over the past few years have been moving, as I see it, steadily west.
Grindavik is saved! Despite the fact that it has almost been chopped in two and accounts for only about 3% of Iceland’s population, doesn’t seem to me to be any reason for good cheer. Nor that fact the the Blue Lagoon tourist attraction is (barely) likely to reopen.
This last event chopped off the hot water and power to the airport, which of course they will repair in a few days, but not having your international airport open is quite serious.
As the two plates decide to put a bit of space into their relationship, it all seems to be moving westward towards Reykavik.
As with onions at a barbeque or chips at a burger stall, it simply is not possible to have too many, in fact more is better, to ensure one does not, having exhausted the anticipated supply, find oneself in circumstance of unexpectedly insatiable appetite, & consequently having to do without.

As you are such a dick head this is a tick.
And this is a thumb
If you cannot see the difference, then you are a T.W.A.T.
It’s Dover’s choice but I can see pages upon pages of “stoush” dominating, driving out or hindering useful and respected posters which is what this blog should be about. Useful, learned and respected contributors. That will be a great shame. I come here to read and learn. I do not want to lose that.
I agree with you Bourne. I still think some here labour under a misapprehension that I care when it involves me.
I will miss my reverse toadies, it’s like a shadow of uselessness.
My beef has always been with the abuse of the system.
WEF finally comes up with some good news:
AI is now more accurate at weather forecasting than human meteorologists.
piggie, my breakdown? Five angry ferals trying a pile on, literally having breakdown live and I’m saddo?
Go eat lots, you groveling slob.
Seriously, this old blot appears to be obsessed about collecting people’s private information. Don’t make the mistake I made by providing anything to her. It’s a potential Glen Close (Fatal Attraction) in the making.

White gown after 2 years of piling on Liz. Incredible. Trying it on me and isn’t working. Now appealing to Dover like he always does. Incredible.
Your optimism is admirable.
I did know that, indeed. His military career also made interesting reading. The British Army during World War Two, the Israeli Army in 1948, and the Unites States Air Force, during the Korean War.
I fully understand that our host Dover Beach has had a gutful of mediating disputes between warring factions at the Cat over the use of ticks and downticks.
But I am very disappointed to see this unique blog feature disappear.
They add a quasi-democratic function to the blog akin to a vote — without having to explain the vote.
No-one asks your opinion in a polling booth, just a vote for one or another.
I hope that Cats will support a return to ticks and downticks.
We all know who here has a record of taking blog tiffs offline & into real life.
I should have added that I should not be expected to suck up constant abuse from one particular poster. Enough is a f/ing enough.
Tom, we were watching Sky, the Beloved’s pick of the evening. He changed channels to an ancient episode of Bargain Hunt.
It was that bad.
No leftover lollie for you, Sky!

The final Three words answer the question posed in the preceding Twenty-Four words.
Bloody hell.
Did someone mention ticks*?
As mentioned upthread by someone, there appears to be a competition as to who can hammer the most downticks before they’re switched off.
A couple of people are actually emerging from the undergrowth to voice their displeasure at the removal of their only apparent means of communication with the outside world.
You know, the Bad Boy Bubby types.
