The early part really brings home how close the Russians came to hitting the target in the first week, then were pushed back pretty near to their own jump off points.

johanna:
It’s deep into the last phase of the Wet, johanna. Most of the contractors either drive down the one sealed road into Wadeye/Keats or fly in and use pre-positioned materials. It’s not that simple to get out of there this time of year.
For people already on bail and who have to report to the jack shop daily – if they don’t they’ll have a warrant out for them at the end of the day.
Besides, who in Wadeye has that much money to spend on a single bottle of liquor? They are all on benefits.
Most are double-dipping on benefits using both traditional and anglicised surnames. It’s one of the great scams the Commonwealth doesn’t want to look into. On top of that, most of the family groups there receive millions in royalties.
$700 for a bottle of Bundy is par for the course in many small towns and ‘communities’ where you have to have a permit to bring grog in. If you’re caught driving grog into one of the restricted areas without one, you’re up before the beak AND they’ll take your car. Not impound it for 48 hours, take it.
A gorilla for a bottle of Johnny Black, in that part of the world, at this time of the year is absolutely unremarkable.
Minor blockquote fail, just above.

OK, let’s say he says, “Sure, let’s negotiate”, what’s NATO’s opening offer?
I think Russia will require:
1. Ukraine pledge (via Constitutional amendment if necessary) to forever be neutral.
2. That Crimea be permanently ceded to Russia and international recognition;
3. Those districts currently occupied by Russia be permitted to hold referendum to either remain part of Ukraine, gain independence or join Russian Federation.
4. Immediate lifting of all international sanctions.
(In fairness, Ukraine cannot pledge item 4 but can ask the West to lift sanctions. Weirdly, the sanctions have probably strengthened Russia in some respects.)
Ukraine will require, if Russian demands agreed:
1. Immediate cessation of hostilities and withdrawal of Russian forces to pre 2022 borders.
2. Repatriation of all Ukraine POW.
3. Reparations of an amount determined by panel of non-aligned specialists (not appealable).
4. Non-aggression guarantee (legislated) by Russia and Belarus.
I’d also try for long term low/zero interest loans from Russia (over and above reparations), free grain, fertilizer, farming equipment and a host of other equipment. And 99 year free gas supply.
Ultimately, Russia sees this as about their national security. The most basic requirements will be Ukraine neutrality and ceding of Crimea. Everything else is probably negotiable.
Yes, from their peak to the present, the map haven’t changed much at all. I looked at the map last night.
It’s not Trump’s mess. If he’s silly enough to own it that’s on him. Still, the idea that Trump is going to destroy his second term with a foreign adventure that would make Vietnam look like a paper cut is absurd.
It’s not ‘Putin love’, I’m just immune to the Regime propaganda drip that has you rabid about Putin.
Haha, blast from the past! I recall young Warwick turning up to board meetings in his old Datsun, as I recall. I don’t think Lachlan or James would be seen dead in one of those.
It is his mess, the moment he’s sworn in.
Walking away under the sorts of terms you’re intimating would not be in his character.
Please.
Both the frontline and the balance of forces has changed materially.
Not from the peak to now it hasn’t, which is what I meant with respect to the frontline. Go take a look at the interactive map.
Optus employ clowns.
Spent an hour on chat trying to take them up on their NBN upgrade offer…had to go through the process twice. Then received in their quaint brand of English:
I’m really sorry to inform you this I’m unable to process with this order due to some error also there is a pending order in your account which is locked by the previous experts.
In this case I kindly you to visit the nearest Optus store and get this done.
I’ve never really taken Optus seriously.
Not that I can detect. Russia burned a lot of resources to get Avdiivka in time for the election. Especially air support.
We’ll see what happens after the election. I suspect a fairly large call up will occur.
The southern part has been a flogging for the Ukies, but most of the rest is a bitter slog and near stalemate.
As for troops & equipment, you would have to think that favours the Russians hugely as time goes on.
BUT, it could end up like WW1 again, where once morale collapses the front does as well.
Nearly happened to the Frogs in 1917, did happen with the Boxheads a year later.
And heres a little bit I hadnt read before on the mutiny..
The mutinies were kept secret from the Germans and their full extent was not revealed until decades later. The German failure to detect the mutinies has been described as one of the most serious intelligence failures of the war.
Mole
Mutinies as in desertions?
The question is what does Russia offer Ukraine?
Nothing.

The US media have revealed their line of attack against Trump: he’s Hitler and a racist for opposing the harmless, Bambi like folk flocking across the border. MSNBC is the worse with the kunts Joy Reid and pussy poodler Maddow calling people who vote for Trump brownshirts and racists. That weirdo morning Joe is the worst of the worst; he is bizarre and apparently the blown bimbo who seats next to him has a permanent hand on his limp dick as he insanely vents against Trump.
All these shitheads are paid by Comcast which is owned by this bastard.
Gallagher canbra trash born and bred
Mutinies as in desertions?

Whole divisions refused orders to attack again.
Some refused to rotate back into the line but they kept their discipline enough to agree to keep in the trenches on the defensive.
Boxheads: Instead of the usual counterattacks and regrouping surrender in large groups.
Plus the Navy in open revolt and refusing to sail out, I think they killed some of their officers as well.

Mar 7, 2024 4:55 PM
Johanna, you’re correct to call bullshit on the JW $1k bottle, but the rest of the story? There’s money in these places. I’ve personally stood behind a bloke in Laverton W.A, who banked a bag of $50 notes. A stack of those goes $5k/cm thickness. (I just checked.) This bloke would have banked – I wasn’t interested in the total sum – $100k in one hit. They took him into the back room to sit down and count it out. This money was from card games. When the mining money comes out, they play hard.
The people who say poverty is the main issue are wrong. Dead wrong. There are billions of dollars handed into the communities every year. But none gets past the Big Men without some quid pro quo.
It’s like any crooked administration, the dollars stay with the bosses and the cents get to the people who really are destitute. The money keeps them in misery and the Big Men will not change the system which pays so well.
It’s called conspicuous consumption or Potlatch behaviour. They wouldn’t do it with Johnny Walker Black – they’d do it with French Champagne worth $1k a bottle.
That lurk extended to houses in some communities….you lived in one, while the other was repaired..rinse, and repeat.
In the 90s Joe was Florida GOP congressman and pretty conservative at the time.
$1000 for a bottle of Johnny Black.
On the black market. In that place. At this time of year.
This is correct.

Boambee John, I spoke of this to old mate 84 yo, and he knew personally of two women who fitted the description of these little people when he was growing up in the 40’s in outback Qld around the Alpha/Julia Creek area. Apparently they married white/aboriginal men and the size of their kids were short to normal. It looks like they bred out but there would still be some genetic history if someone were to look. (good luck getting funding for something that would expose the narrative, but)
Russia has nothing to offer Ukraine other than they promise to stop shooting and stop occupying Ukraine.

This is interesting. Also lazily scraped from Wikipedia.
Crimean Gothic, an East Germanic language, became extinct around the 18th century, while the Crimean Goths diffused into other ethnicities much earlier on. Old English was also spoken by settlers from England, who were eventually absorbed into the Tatar population. According to Ukraine’s 2001 census, the ethnic makeup of Crimea’s population consisted primarily of the following self-reported groups: Russians (1.492 million, 67.9%), Ukrainians (344,515; 15.7%), Crimean Tatars (245,000; 12.6%), Belarusians (35,000; 1.4%), other Tatars (13,500; 0.5%), Armenians (10,000; 0.4%), and Jews (5,500; 0.2%).[7]
My solution:
Give Sevastopol to Uzbekistan and the rest of Crimea to Britain…

In the 90s Joe was Florida GOP congressman and pretty conservative at the time.
No, he pretended to be conservative; a genuinely conservative person doesn’t end up like this. I can’t think of a greater reversal than what this prick has done; it is beyond ordinary TDS. It may have something to do with the blonde bimbo sitting next to him. Trump is like a test: if your ego is all there is to you he will excoriate you and the result is people like morning joe who are only motivated in getting square and destroying Trump no matter what that does to the country.

Kevin Costner obviously learnt from Yellowstone: his new movie Horizon: An American Saga.
This is a bottomless pint of beer.
I’m not interested in momentum. I’m only interested where the frontline is now. Worry about momentum after the fact. We’ve seen momentum before, from both sides, and we’ve also seen reverse momentum as a result of that initial momentum.
’twas only a matter of time. I’m surprised it took 36 hours actually. Is the nothing Leftoids can’t convolute?

Cronkite, I have to pick you up on your previous 5/5 star rating for this series, as you appear totally blind to the final part. You realize Mr. Yellowstone is now banging the activist that was jailed, and being governor, he commuted her sentence to house arrest on his property. Did you spare a thought about where that’s heading, or were you willfully blind to the storyline at this point? His banging the activist and going green. I can’t believe this went way over your head, as you generally have a good antenna for this sort of stuff. Sharpen up.
damn iphone His.. He’s
JC, my best mate is like that with politics as well. His comes from his looney tunes wife. When I stayed with them she’s going TDS, I said he was the best President they ever had. Screaming ensued. If I hadn’t known him for so long I would have walked out. I keep setting him straight but he gets her yap yapping all the time.
Willcannia – one of the Aboriginal Health Care nurses was on full time pay, full time money from the local corporation under her ‘tribal name’ and on unemployment benefits + the benefits, on her maiden name.
I spoke to the welfare/unemployment people about it and was ignored.
The figures for Aboriginals are 812k in Australia. How many are there really? 270K?
🙂
The frontline situation now is worse for Ukraine then it was a month ago and there is no sign this deterioration is going to get any better in the next 9 months given the balance of forces. You can recall the victories of Sept and Oct ’22 but they are long gone now and the failures of July-Oct ’23 are going to be irreplaceable – much like Kursk was for Germany in ’43. The summer is going to be like ’44.

TDS is amazing to watch though. The cognitive dissonance is just incredible.
Yeah, well people were saying the “special operation” forces were going to be pushed back all the way to Vald’s home town – Vladivostok. (vladi, get it).
This is a WW1 battle and the frontline can move anytime. It’s currently a stalemate for all intents.
I hope you reported the stolen petrol too.
Not from what I can see. The Russians put together enough to take Avdiivka, and achieve the required political goals, but the carnage has bled them so much they have now hit the wall. Credit to the RGS: they knew they had to put up serious tactical air support, but the cost to do that was high, very high.
Black comedy the story today about the Russians seducing Indian peasants then sending them to the front line with barely any training. I think the warm body problem the Russian Army has is a lot worse than you think. We will see what transpires after the election is out of the way.
Mark Dice:

Spent today One & a quarter hours on the phone to Telstra trying to buy a phone/intercom system.
Called the number on an online ad for Telstra Business Telephone Systems.
They got from me: My full name + date of birth, Three times.
I got from them: An email address of a Telstra Business Technologies department in Townsville, to which I may email my desire for a phone/intercom system.
The series of telephone consultants to whom I spoke were unable to open an order for me or in any way help me, other than to inform me of an email address.
They wouldn’t have even given me that had I not vehemently insisted.
One and a quarter hours!
Dover, earlier you posted how Chinese exports are up by 7%. I don’t know if this is true or not, but let’s assume it’s right.
It was supposed to be an argument that the Chinese economy is going gangbusters contrary to what other people are saying.
Chinese exports account for 19% of Chinese GDP. If we assume the GDP is around US$23 trillion, exports total around US$4.5 trillion. 7% of that is US$315 billion. That’s a drop in the bucket for what’s occurring in the domestic economy.
We need to be careful when anyone presents percentages only to dramatize an argument because it’s invariably bullshiting. We also require the raw numbers to make sense of percentage moves.
And look at the gains by Ukraine just around 12 months ago until it came to a stop.
You realize Mr. Yellowstone is now banging the activist that was jailed, and being governor, he commuted her sentence to house arrest on his property.
This is the theme of the show: John Dutton takes in strays, waifs, ne’er-do-wells, shonks, bibber-bobbers and turns them into tough pioneer shit stompers. This activist will be out dehorning steers, cooking steaks and shooting rustlers when he’s finished with her.
The Ukies must be really pissed that all 13 Russian aircraft they claim to have shot down fell into Russian-held territory. Apparently.
They could do with some propaganda videos.

Business Insider:
Of course. The RuAF aren’t insane. In the Avdiivka assault they were extensively using glide bombs from about 100 km out. That was the tactical air support the guys on the ground needed. It was the most close air support used that I’ve seen from the Russians in two years. But even from that far behind the lines the Ukies still potted a dozen aircraft, including a rare as hens’ teeth A-50 AWACS.
The AWACS is a serious loss, since they’ve been the primary radar platform to keep watch on the Black Sea. Not altogether surprising that the Ukies then sank another missile corvette last week. Very hard to replace such aircraft, and certainly not quickly.
Someone Died, and Something Tells Me China’s Behind It
In news of a great loss, apropos several mentions upthread of Kevin Costner & Yellerstone TV series, was going to post a link to an on-site interview with the former manager for Koch Brothers, of the only ranch that remotely matches the Yellowstone in location & size, the Beaverhead Ranch.
Thoroughly entertaining & a solid “Ten” on the Salvatore scale of watchability, it is one of the better interviews you’d ever see about a ranch, or with a cattleman. Alas no longer online. It was up for 2 months only. We just missed it by *snaps fingers* that much.

Not so much cowboys – more elderly ‘I know boats’ types strapping the Jayco to the brand new, retirement-purchased Prado complete with extended wing mirrors, and then spending the remainder of their golden years traversing the nation at 70kph on major highways with wraparound shades, Bunnings gardening hats and Kool Mint tins in the console, stopping only to critique the budget buffets at RSLs across this wide brown land.
Yes.
Yep.
The ‘same problem’ referred to is the potential sacking of a licence to drive a Toyota Crown to the bowlo, let alone a poorly-stacked Mallard (resulting in death wobbles at anything over 40 kph) into the paths of people going about their daily lives.

Curiously, the big hootin’ joint they had in Texas didn’t do much for me. I quite liked the ranch they had in Kansas (the first one they sold) It would have done me.

Such is the micro management obsession of these corporate toss pots that they insisting security was needed and the locals had turned the meetings into public events.
They said we’d organised a town hall meeting, well we did, that’s because the small meeting room is in the town hall.
It’s all over the local airwaves this morning and we’re giving them a right kicking.
What they didn’t tell you in lefty sloganland is that the hysterical screeching of “believe all women” actually means “let’s throw justice and due process out the window”.
The blokes now in jail for rapes they didn’t commit are actually political prisoners, their freedom cancelled by fascist street mobs egged on by politicians and their supporters in state justice departments.
Whenever I see the word ‘AEMO’ I imagine a black-clad teenager with a bloodless complexion, wearing black eye-liner, sitting in a dark room with the shapes on some posters vaguely visible in the glow of an iPhone, and slowly cutting their arm with a razor because no one else understands them.
It is very satisfying.
I see Trump begged on his knees to Elon for some cash to pay his debts, but got stiffed. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.

John Kerry: People May ‘Feel Better’ About Russia if It Works Harder to ‘Reduce Emissions’ (7 Mar)
In todays Oz:
Sam Kerr to deny she used word ‘bastard’ against white cop
The Sam Kerr racism incident has taken another twist as her legal team prepares an attempt to have the whole case thrown out.
And it was interesting to see the blindness of the talking heads on “Sunrise’ this morning – a neutral story about Sam Kerr’s alleged racism being immediately followed by a condemning story about NRL player Spencir Leniu’s naughty words in the Vegas game – with our wise thought leaders opining that ‘there is no place for racism’ in the game, and a 6 week suspension would be appropriate.
Qantas salutes Women’s Day with all-female crews
To mark the International Women’s Day on Friday, Qantas and its budget arm Jetstar will operate a series of all-female crewed and controlled flights

I’ve been on a Qantas international flight where they entire crew was male.
It is indeed.
‘There’s a chopstick in the fork drawer…’
For your own safety, do not fly today.
In fact, anything not being the way he/she/it likes he/she/it will be able to demand others kowtow because transphobia.
The left have discovered that they can no longer pretend to be champions of the traditional downtrodden – they are too effete to go near the homeless (have you smelt them?), factory workers, racial minorities (who seem increasingly to want to succeed for their family, not their class) – so they have had to concoct new downtrodden in the form of the QWERTY rainbow. Problem is that they are unlikeable people so they are not winning the old sympathy.
You should probably list this assets and liabilities, including cash before making a pronouncement.
What is happening is X is open for analytics and targeting.
Trump or Elon giving each other 500 mn of cash is pointless.
This is perfect, you have hit the nail on the head here. Very well said.

Rosie, I’ve heard it said that there are more Maltese in Melbourne than in Malta.
Imagine how many smoking monkeys that can buy.
Look! He’s taking another puff!

How do you convince women to give up what they love most and submit to wage slavery at a bank? Simple: call it feminism. A report from Ireland.
The first comment is a short clip from a young woman who seems to have grasped the point.
One contribution of the Melbourne Maltese diaspora- Joe Joe Zep and the Falcons. Ahh! Memories of Melbourne pub bands of the late 70s.

Women comprise approximately 50% of the population. From the Law Society Journal:
This imbalance needs to be redressed, starting with these lying hoes along with each and every chick in every DPP office across the country.

I keep on saying it.
An enviable and exemplary libertarian regime ought (must?) to be preceded by a vindictive nationalist regime.
What is truly compromised is the legal system. Truth just doesn’t seem to come into it any more.
Trump ordered to pay six-figure legal costs to ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele’s company after suing over ‘dirty dossier’ which claimed he took part in ‘sex parties’ and gave bribes to Russian officials

The U.S. House has passed the Laken Riley Act by a 251-170 vote.
Every single Republican voted to pass it and all 170 votes against it were Democrats.
The proposed law would require the detention and deportation of illegal aliens who have been caught committing crimes.
Ask yourself — why would anyone vote against this?

Germany to reintroduce universal military service – Der Spiegel
?? According to the publication, the agency has until April 1 to develop a conscription model “that makes a scalable, threat-adapted contribution to national resilience”.
?? Pistorius wants to reintroduce conscription before the national elections in autumn 2025.
?? A realistic number of conscripts, which Pistorius expressed behind the scenes at the Munich Security Conference, is 3,000-4,000.
Yes lots of Maltese or children or grandchildren of Maltese here in Melbourne. So I would believe Rosie’s assertion.
I heard a beaut the other day about awoman who has a trannie partner. The question to ponder is, she a lesbian, bi or hetero? The dangling bits are yet to get the chop. Happy International Women’s Day, even if you don’t know what you are, there’ll be another freak to support you. When is International Men’s Day? I don’t really want to know if there is one. Its every other day for me.
It’s quite a journey to say that I’ve been described as a ….
Election denier
Conspiracy Theorist
Anti Vaxxer
Prepper
Cooker
Stacker
and now a
Bitcoin Maximalist
I’m very comfortable with all of these labels
I resemble the above – and have my own page in Cookerpedia to prove it!
And, can I add, ‘climate denier’ – so thats a full house I believe.
Whaaaaaaaat, you mean it’s actually the left who are the based populists while the right is in the tank for billionaires? Amazing.

I doubt this will go very far because the demographic most likely to commit such crimes is also quite excitable.

DEI has destroyed…
The whole point of DEI in the public service, corporate and private industry is to employ unqualified people and then stop them from being fired or sacked.
Explain how that works to create employment.
The alternative is they cut spending. Arguing the US government is not wasteful is laughable.
What if a mechanic or accountant has an LLC? They pay more tax? They’re disincentivised from growing their business past sole trader or partnership status.
Suddenly, Biden’s color revolution has gone grayscale…
