He doesn’t think that and he knows the Palis will never be satisfied and will always be troublemakers.
This is his way to camouflage his disgraceful support for Islam and moslems. Don’t spook the horses.
It’s possible.

Perth Imam. Conservative is radicalism. Islam and the left are hand in glove. Islam gets another tick of approval from the Filth;
Phew. Something to bear in mind when you’ve been decapitated.
No, it literally means submission. I would consider his statement as takiya?
Muslims are concerned about the possible backlash after tomorrow’s terrorist incident.
And there you have it – as predictable as the rising sun, “Islam is the victim here!”
what a weasel.
The incident is a tragedy for the kid and his family.
If he had succeeded in fatally stabbing anyone it would have been tragedy for more families.
And? It effectively summarizes the position of the current Georgian PM.
‘Second front’ is the phrase used by the current Georgian PM, and its apt given the pressure put on Georgia to do so earlier on in ’22. He’s taken the pragmatic position of not being used as a pawn by the GAE against Russia, while still trying to work out a position re its disputed territories with Russia. It’s the smartest play in the circumstances.
And It’s about 24 hours old now since the comment went up, perhaps next time you should post the rest of the comment.
“We condemn any act of violence which is committed in our name, in the name of our religion. Our religion literally means peace.”
That’s a lie, and he knows it. Islam does not mean ‘peace’, Islam means ‘submission’.
It seems lying is their default setting.
I found that interview with Golda Meir very inspiring.
what a weasel.
The incident is a tragedy for the kid and his family.

Wet day at the Cafe, which is always fun. Wet days mean a horde of rainbow lorikeets, since they can’t feed on damp flowers. They duly arrived, dozens of them with a pair of scalies, who are really nice sweet-tempered little birds.
The good thing about rainy days is they make the Cafe clientelle more willing to take risks for food. So today I was able to get two blue-faced honey eaters to accept food from my hand for the first time. It’s taken months of preparation to get to this point, so I feel chuffed.
Sadly a couple days ago the friendliest noisy died. She was wonderful, but somehow broke a wing on Thursday and died Friday. Now buried in the backyard. I’d never hitherto had a noisy sit on my hand like she did. Vale, little lady.
Good story Bruce. We watch birds in the wild on our 5x a week 5km walk much more closely because of you. thankx for the inspiration. Latest this week is arrival of Nankeen night heron pair to the lagoon.
Also love your bird stories, BoN. We are in Sydney at the moment & had a half grown & very wet Lorrikeet seek shelter on our balcony today. We fed him & his mother suddenly appeared. However it was clear that she had decided to end his dependency. We felt quite sorry for the little chap who slept part of the day with his little head turned almost backwards into the feathers on his neck.
Sorry about your feathered friend, Bruce. To earn the trust of the wild things is a great thing indeed.
LOL. So rather than addressing anything substantive you return to criticizing Armchair Warlord and even here, without a link, I can’t even pin down what you’re talking about. Still, what you write above doesn’t for a moment address what I said. All you’re doing is venting.
And then you give a list of oligarchs and journalists that have died or been killed, purported by Putin. The list includes Darya Dugina. Dear oh dear.

And you continue to ignore the fact that 80% of the Georgian people want to move away from the Russian Orc and cozy up with Western Europe. You also characterize the massive anti-Russian demonstrations as something else. Putin is God!
Good evening. Morning here at glorious Heathrow, a Circle of Hell tucked just between 8 and 9. It also goes by the title “Terminal 5”.
Navigated the on-line check-in, and the bag drop where you print your own luggage tags. I felt remarkably tech savvy for an old girl. Security decided that I was a highly suspect traveller, so as usual I was pulled aside for special treatment and my luggage swabbed and rummaged. Meanwhile a dozen or so interesting types were waved through. So much for profiling.
Cabin crew on China Airlines is still masked, poor buggers. We got pointy end tickets on frequent flyers, and it isn’t half bad. Nice beds and food, fellow passengers thoughtful and quiet. We were the only Anglos in our area. A good trip. They had some tourist bumph on Taiwan – it looks beautiful. Maybe worth a look combined with a few weeks in Japan.
Safe trip.
Taiwan: best food in the world. People are the real Chinese: completely eccentric and individual. Mainland Chinese are like that, but you would never know.
I liked Taiwan Calli. Sun Moon Lake resort is fantastic though a bit pricey.
Cats, as we know, womanages of the blonde persuasion are not my first choice, but for Miss Eva, an exception could be made … 🙂
Heathrow sounds odious. Glad my forebears emigrated.
On London…spoke to an expat Londoner during our layover in Taipei. He now lives in Orlando and loves it.
His comment – London is a foreign city with nice relics from a glorious past.
I see Khan was re-elected. The tipping point was established long ago. There’s no going back now. Australia beware.
IMHO Britain turned to sh*t after bLIAR was done with it.
Call me closed minded but I have no desire to visit London ever again.
London was always one of my favourite cities.
In the winter I found it rather enticing and mysterious. Last visit was in the late 90s during summer and I thought it was dirty. Rotting garbage beside the Nth London Line sort of thing.
Blared the ALPBC nooze report at midday about the latest terrorist kiddie going full moozley.
Gee, I wonder why? 😕
Wait till the ABC explains that it’s all George Pell’s fault.

All mother Kittehs will understand. 😀
Heh, the Proclaimers!
What a shithole. It’s glory days being long, long past.
That khan shitbag needs to be gifted with some extra special HOP Time™.
Khan is very model of a PC woke post modern pollimuppett. Like those last two horrors they had in Scotland.
That’s it from me. Off to Barcelona shortly. Cattle class but exit row to accommodate the Beloved’s long shanks. BA for my many sins.
Tomorrow it’s a tour of the cathedral. We might have a mooch around the main thoroughfare this afternoon, time and weather permitting. Then off to lovely Zaragoza (thanks for the suggestion Rosie).
Hi Calli. Reading your comment and in fact right this moment I’m in the train at Zaragoza, en route from Barcelona to Valladolid. Enjoy your trip!

Probably is, I wasn’t thinking it through, also I don’t travel much, least not as much as the other intrepid Cats here, and found it odd that the two Korean dialects could have moved so far apart in a comparatively short time.
I’m sure the North Koreans are still listening to and watching South Korean radio and TV??
Don’t know how much is banned and what section of N K society would have access to it.
I think cohenite posted some really good clips of the N Korean female army band.
There was a better one, can’t find it now.
Beats the cute owls any day.
Dunno about that, Johanna.

This deliberate impoverishing of the population in the Yookay (which they are doing here too of course) reminds me of Romania in the late 80s. People can’t afford to heat their homes. The PPE establishment has certainly succeeded in destroying all the excitement & optimism from 2016. The pathetic excuse of a King and the PoW fully on board too. To think that the rancid twot Starmer is likely to be next PM.
Do I understand this correctly?
More than 3 million Australians will have their university student debt paid by their fellow Australian taxpayers, 60% of whom do not have a university education and will therefore generally be on lower incomes than those who availed themselves of HECS.
This always makes me laugh, when the apologists for Goof Whitlam say “Oh, but he brought in free university education ” Naaah, my taxes paid for that “free” education.
HECS, like most government debt, will never be repaid in any real sense of the word.
That’s what those who availed themselves of it counted on. But the budget shortfall will have to be made up by someone.
I wonder if I can get mine refunded?
I don’t care what one poll commissioned by an NGO says as opposed to the party with majority support in the Georgian parliament. I also don’t care about ‘massive anti-Russian demonstrations’ involving people speaking in English to cameras and pizzas being distributed in scenes reminiscent of Maiden.
Georgians hate Russians. As in really really hate Russians. That they can’t do anything about Russian occupation of bits of their country does not prevent them from hating Russians.
Armenians also hate Russians, after Russia betrayed their alliance last year. Russia is making friends everywhere! Not.
Some ructions in the Caucasus have been occurring. I don’t know whether that is a normal thing or a sign of undercurrents.
LOL apparently Wallet Wizard had a chop at Ley today.
Budget that bad hey? Don’t think there will be much left of any alleged surplus after Albo handing it out everywhere. Or is that off the books as well.
LOl back.
Virgo the Wussian Bot suggested a vid purporting to be a road in the vicinity of an Iranian target appeared to show that everything was fine because it was calm.

Wally the Warlord was reporting Iranian propaganda just like the bot reports Russian bullshit.
You accused me of only read MSM when you know that’s just bullshit, because my links would show something else. And you accuse me of venting.
We take a look at your links and it’s mostly anon Russian bots and that French leftwing imbecile, Arnie Bertrand.
The other countless names you’re fine with then. Good to see. In any event, you appear comfortable with the extra-judicial murders, or at least some of them if the victims are helping the “hegemony”
You’ve asked me many questions that I’ve tried to answer. Try and respond to at least one of mine.
I don’t think that’s quite it Roger.
Enlighten me, dear lady.
(Via the nested comments if you please, as it will make it easier for me to find tomorrow.)
😀
rosie, the bottom line is that by raising the income level at which the debt has to be paid, revenue which would have been accounted for in Finance’s budget estimates will not be there for the government to bank or spend. Either programs will have to be cut, borrowings increased or the repayment burden shifted to others.
Whichever it is, the HECS debt of university graduates is being paid by the less well off.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Or a free education.
My understanding is that the interest rate charged has been changed to the lower of either CPI or wage price index. Wasn’t aware that there was a change to the income threshold which isn’t mentioned in the article I read.

While in Barcelona.
‘Beware of Pickpockets’.
Yep. Had an attempt on the train from the airport. Hadn’t even been there 2 hours. Most streets two streets away from the touristy ones are pretty ordinary too. Seriously overrated. I much preferred San Sebastián and the north coast.
Would you care if the poll was 80% the other way. It’s pretty clear the mass of people don’t want anything to do with the Orcs and who can blame them. And so what if they’re speaking English. Obviously, they want their message spreading to the rest of the world. You think it would more effective if they communicated in the mother tongue seeing Georgian is the world’s second most spoken language? Dishing out pizzas in Georgia. Lordie, it’s cultural appropriation. Putin would be so cross.
Who’s Wallet Wizard? The Chalmers twot? Must be busy redesigning the market right?
Yes a Cat term I appropriated a few months back when I saw it here.
I can’t help giggle every time I see the ad now.
Gotcha:)
Albo’s had all the deputies out slinging mud. They are on the back foot at the moment. Desperately need some clear air. Thanks Ol’ Leathery.
All the ones that don’t need to be hidden from the media that is.
I picked Dr. Gerrard early on as a fairly sensible fellow (as CHOs go, that is), which drew criticism from some notables on Sinc’s Cat at the time.
Glad to see he’s upset Brisbane’s medical establishment in the time since.
In 2016 they didn’t think he could win.
In 2020 they knew they had the fix in.
In 2024 they could decide to… “go another way”, to quote Breaking Bad.
Assassination is a real possibility if they think the man has the numbers this time around.
Agree. And I wonder what that would provoke. Friends said they have just seen the movie Civil War – & it is harrowing, in view of current events.
Just for instance, if Trump has a nasty accident and died, how do you reckon the electorate would take it?
Would they really revolt?
Against whom?
They would be pissed, but so what?
I would ponder that a convenient moment is being crafted if one had an inkling to think that way. It won’t be a spur of the moment thing, these things take planning apparantly.
It has to be cleanly done, you know, like someone wih an axe to grind who has already shown to be loose minded, not the full picnic. Someone with access to weapons perhaps and able to get a close up shot in or be on say, a grassy knoll with a clear sighting.
It has to be a patsy who can then be instantly disposed of .. like in the JFKennedy incident.
Then again, could be a plane crash, they happen.
Car accident, unlikely
Explosions are risky as then you have to prove all the bits belong to someone, and that’s just fodder for ongoing conspiracy theories.
Personally I reckon Trump will win, there will be no skullduggery and then get the talk about how his family members might have accidents or have kiddy porn on their computers. Like the good old days of J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, have so much on him he does what he is told, looks where he is alowed and nowhere else.
The Right has 300 million firearms…with training.
This question is really interesting since Trump in a poll today is up 10 points: which is too far to steal.
So if they steal it blatantly, or if they jail or assassinate him it could start very entertaining ballgame. Kinetic even.
The downside is China would then be into Taiwan like Flynn, which would be unhelpful seeing how much of the internet needs Taiwanese chips.
From Rafes newsletter:
https://www.flickerpower.com/images/Meet_Daniel_Westerman.pdf
My grandmother taught me to speak German which I spoke at home with mum and dad. They emigrated between 52 and 54. When I was in Germany in the early 80s and when I speak with exchange students people remark how old fashioned my German is.
Sort of like speaking 1950s BBC/ABC English?
😀
With all this talk of electromagnetic pulses, does anyone have a technical outline of the likely fields involved? I’m sceptical it would ever be a thing in the modern world. We’re not using single-wire-earth-return lines on 10-foot poles these days.
A few SWERs around still I think.
For 240V volts that is.
That would explain the ANZ extensions to IEC 62368-1, at least. 🙂
But I think you were talking about the old party line telephone with the single iron wire? Lift the handset and say ‘working’.
That’s the thing. That sunspot that bought down so much of the fledgling telecommunications industry at the time would find a much tougher opponent in today’s world of EMC and safety standards. They may stall a 1990s Nissan Pintara* if one’s still on the road, but I’m not expecting much damage to terrestrial electronics.
* As I’ve anecdotally heard happening on Highway 1 in Artarmon where the TV tower signal was concentrated across the highway by the two water tanks. Some models used to stall there in the queue at the lights. The local garage did well towing deaded vehicles out of the RF field where they then magically recovered. 🙂 Falcon climate control modules used to turn themselves off before the button input circuits were improved by reducing the impedance of the switch inputs.
I note Peter van Onselen has called housing as the key issue of the next election, as Albanese stands to fall drastically short of his stated new build target, with his own IR policies preventing him from reaching it.
File under “We are governed by idiots.”
Looks like about the same number.
Wars Putin has been involved.
Wars the US has been involved in over the same period.
US has been involved in couple of others, but they’re minor.
Whoops couple of other wars.
Just watching story on taxis refusing passengers with guide dogs. The fine is now $3000 or there abouts.
The innocence of the “concerned” is frightening.
The Muz ( most of the taxis I catch)will not allow them. Simple. The lady talking had a nice black labrador. The Muz believe black dogs, in particular, have the spirit of the devil.
Just watch at airport arrivals with sniffer dogs.
I wonder what’s next.
I do remember the Muz complaining about sniffer dogs at airports, indeed.
Not just guide dogs. I have had same experiences with short fares at airports which they drive off on.
An Aussie driver years back told me to take details and report to Qld Tpt which I dutifully do if I come across the behaviour now. I assume they absorb those fines or try to lie their way out of it as well.
That said they are at 2% of population and already flexing muscles. With the Uniparties open borders policy what is it going to be like at 5%?
Vicky
Civil war.
Look, the US has gone through much more difficult times than we’re seeing now in terms of public rebellion. The 60s were much , much worse and so was the earlier part of the 70s.
For a civil to occur, you have to consider not just the blue and red states but also the red and blue within those states. Staten Island is basically red. Upstate is reddish. Southern Cali is reddish. Austin is blue. When you come right down to it, a civil war would be a war between the innner city urban areas, vs the suburbs.
It’s very unlikely, though not impossible.
JC, civil war in the US is one of the less disturbing scenarios among the awful possibilities in at least 3 main zones across the world. Although if Trump is assassinated it may very well trigger the formation of armed groups – particularly Vets.
Twice in the past three weeks we have run into acquaintances we have not seen for about three years. Both times the men of the couples have expressed comments re Trump being assassinated. I’d say those having similar political stances to us, are thinking the same way. It is too awful to contemplate.
My fear, too.
Fuk me: claire chandler who I used to have time for because of her gender work when asked point blank on Outsiders whether the lnp would rescind the e-safety commish waffled and prevaricated like a monk caught with his duds down to his knees in a nunnery.
The fuking lnp are hopeless.
I saw that too and thought how lame. Perhaps she was trying not to suffer the same fate as Cory Bernardi.
I suspect many Muslim families here tread the fine line between being observant enough to not look too like an apostate while otherwise fitting reasonably within our society.
Perhaps the teens getting radicalised are a parallel to what was observed in Jordan Peterson’s audience – young fellas searching online for answers relating to relevance.
The ongoing pro-Hamas demonstrations of intimidation don’t fit that hypothesis, though, although there’s probably room for both cohorts.
It’s the Islamic reformation I’m worried about, as that would be more sword than pen.

What good has she done?
Probyn should name just one person Aly has deradicalised
She’s a professor, a lecturer and an academic specializing in counter terrorism, for chuck’s steak!
From the Before They Were Famous files. Canberra pot plants could breathe easy in those days.
Look, Trump is assassinated then you’d end up either with Vivek or Ronster, and either of these two would win. They’d run identical presidencies to Trump. Killing Trumpster would solve nothing for the Dems and vastly increase the odds a GOP president who is just as hard nosed. It wouldn’t work for the Demons.
That’s why I think the VP choice will be one of those two, there are signs that the ice is thawing between Trump and DeSantis. The Dems choose VPs who are stupider to minimise competition and likelihood of a palace coup. Trump would be smart to choose one of those two in order to state that an assassination would not change anything.
They’d do it if they could make it look like a prison event. Demorats work on a different logic than normal folk: killing Trump would satisfy their sense or hurt pride and their disdain for the normal folk.
DeSantis has to stay in Florida for another term.
Wasn’t everything fine? In the first sentence he says a few drones strikes in Tabriz and Isfahan; pretty much what happened.
I didn’t accuse you of only reading the MSM. I said that neocon propaganda was effective.
The list is a hodgepodge of people who died, killed, whatever, with the imputation that Putin is behind all of it. Ridiculous.
I’ve been answering your questions. You might let us know what is wrong with Georgia’s transparency laws?
Labor’s WA deradicalisation expert Anne Aly
Expert, really? Expert in her own mind and fawning media lovies.
She has an Arts degree, was appointed to an ALP government’s response to the Fed’s Sep 11 counter terrorism, an obvious diversity pick. I trust her thoughts from the nether region about terrorism as I would a cleric from Lakemba.
If she was such an expert why has she only ever been utilised by ALP governments and far left uni campuses?
One would think if one had substance they would have been utilised by some intelligence agencies that seems to be notably missing.
I was wondering what the buggery a ‘security medal ‘ was and it gets worse…
Dr Aly, a deradicalisation expert whose work has focused on young Muslim, was presented her award in Canberra last Friday by Liberal Party doyen Philip Ruddock, the patron of the Australian Security Medals Foundation.
The foundation, established in 2010, recognises people working in the security industry, both for valour and for outstanding leadership beyond the image of “guns, guards and gates”.
so another meaningless Canbra gew gaw like the PSM (pubic serpent medal).
Wow never heard of this mob. Seems like an industry circle jerk to me. Ruddock has taken an absolute dive in my eyes on this one.
I don’t appreciate the acronym ASM either. That right is reserved for soldiers that served on Chapter 6 of the UN charter for non warlike service.
Ta think I’ll bring this to the attention of some veterans I know. Some of them middle east vets, I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to know the ASMF is using the acronym for one of their pieces of tin.

Whitlam was a disaster? What was life like before Gough?
We had – An unpopular war; Conscription; Conscientious objectors in prisons; Private detectives creeping around bedroom windows for divorce evidence; Capital punishment; Unaffordable tertiary education; Aboriginal veterans routinely refused entry to RSL clubs; Unmarried mothers forced to give up their babies in women’s hospitals; Job ads that read “Catholics need not apply”; Aboriginal children forcibly taken from their parents; Married women forbidden from working in the public service; Women paid substantially less than men for doing the same job; The White Australia policy; Aboriginal stockmen forced to work on their traditional land under threat of eviction in exchange for a tin shack and company store vouchers; 17% of capital city dwellings not connected to sewage; Three and a half thousand road deaths annually; The Postmaster General in charge of telecommunication and God Save the Queen.
We didn’t have FM Radio and colour television; Medicare; SBS; A National Gallery; A Trade Practices Act; A Racial Discrimination Act; A Productivity Commission; A Law Reform Commission; Family Courts and Legal Aid.
Does anybody remember job ads that read “Catholics need not apply?’ I don’t.
I’m from a large Irish Catholic family. I was an infant at the time but my extended family did quite well till the 1980’s where one of my uncles businesses was very nearly sunk by ALP ineptitude.
I do however remember dad telling the story in 1975 the CO getting his Battalion on the parade ground telling them they had no money to pay them but expected each soldier to turn up to work regardless. If the impasse hadn’t been avoided all the married guys were apparently going to be AWOL as they needed money to feed their families.
None of my relatives have a high opinion of the Whitlam years.
One infantry battalion was supposed to have been told that, if they weren’t going to be paid, their dependents would be rationed, and receive medical care, “at public expense.”
I always thought Whitlam was mad.
No.
Yes, and the Family Law Court – the “Married Woman’s Protection Society” was such a great step forward, wasn’t it?
Most of the above are lies, the rest were already handled by Liberals. I remember the innumerable strikes during the Whitlam era and galloping inflation where items on shop shelves had up to three price stickers and the highest one was rung up. Single mothers were a rarity in those days yet now it’s a career for too many women.
“Labor’s WA deradicalisation expert Anne Aly awarded security medal”
She’s the muslim Labor nodding head you see behind Albosleazy in House of Reps. Expert my fat ar$. Rather, teaching these “radicals” (actually just true mueslis) to practise a bit of taqiyya to the deaf, dumb and blind infidels.
Don’t forget the huge handouts to the mob to keep them happy
So Whitlam invented FM radio and Colour TV?
He’s not The Great Man for nothing.
Why not? Al Gore invented the internet and the video camera.
You seem irritated, Dover. Are you OK!
Your sincere concern is noted.
Anne Aly holds Cowan after a nearly 10% swing to the Liars. Might be a different story next election without the albatross of SloMo around and Sneakers replaced by Roger Cook.
Dunno what was naughty in my rant reply to miltonf’s post on Aly but I’m moderated apparently.
2022 Federal election was the high water mark for the Liars in WA. You are already seeing stories they are sandbagging both WA and Qld.
That’s interesting, because you were telling us public opinion in the part of Ukraine bordering with Russia was vastly in support Russian intervention, which subsequently turned out to be Russian propaganda .
It would also be interesting for you to expand a little more on the subject of “elections”, particularly the one in Ukraine and the recent Russian election where Putin received 300% of the vote.
It’s not good. The amount of crap washing up on the islands is a worry.
The WW2 pilot rescue story is harrowing.

Oops, the channel is Back to Basic Adventures@ 9:02 pm.
All these young men have oodles of energy and enthusiasm and nowhere to expend them so they go looking in wrong places. My suggestion would be national service where they are exposed to discipline and something bigger than themselves. Hopefully when they come back to normal life they are more mature and able to deal with life.
It will only work if the constant demands by the Muslim Cohort are refused.
No Halal meals from the barracks bain marie, Choose what you want from the menu like everyone else. No disruptive prayer mat intimidation, no special bullshit just because you are a Muslim or Calathumpian, Jew, Sikh or Hindu.

No ceremonial daggers, no special treatment.
If you don’t like it you can spend your two years in the glasshouse.
Some people are incapable of self discipline which is why it has to be imposed on them.
2022 Federal election was the high water mark for the Liars in WA.
Yes, it will not be replicated at the next election. Labor’s victories in WA in 2022 were an aberration, and a lot of it was due to Scumbag’s deep unpopularity.
I remember reading a piece in the Oz early in 2023, around the time of the Aston by-election. Albo was crowing, he thought he was unassailable and he was convinced that Labor would be able to take more seats from the Liberals at the next election. Two of the seats he’d decided to target were Andrew Hastie’s seat as well as Peter Dutton’s….LOL….Labor have been trying to win Dutton’s seat for two decades and every time they have failed. Wiser, saner heads at Labor’s HQ were pessimistic about Albo’s cockiness and they rightly advised that 2022 was the high water mark and that it was not going to be replicated.
Since then it’s been downhill for Sleazy and his swagger has turned into a stoop.
I think he has also been comfort eating, seems to have put back much of the wait he lost in the run up to the election.
I think the unpopularity of SloMo away from (and in) Sydney is not particularly well understood. He was electoral poison. Pundits are saying it will take 2 electoral cycles for the Lieborals to be in a position to win. I’m not convinced.
Waiting for the ‘eSafety Commissioner’ to demand that whomever is hosting this ‘online radicalisation’ material takes it down. No brainer…
Did it really? I will have to update my maps re Crimea and Donetsk. Still, I don’t recall any poll re Russian intervention, let alone one I mentioned.
Now, care tell me what you find objectionable with Georgia’s transparency laws?
I have held Claire O’Neil and Andrew Giles wholly responsible for the failures of their departments with regard to the illegal immigrants. I have now come to the conclusion that the public servants who are running those departments must bear as much if not more responsibility for the missteps.
These public servants are paid astronomical salaries, much higher than those of the ministers they report to therefore they are expected to be across everything that happens or could happen and are there to advise and guide their ministers.
I have not seen any evidence of the skills and expertise of these highly paid public servants that even remotely justifies their salaries. If they did their jobs there would not be a story as even the stupidest minister would listen when advised how to avoid bad publicity.
Marx Still Reigns Supreme. But Why?
Yep. Total Russian bullshit. And as though Europe isn’t replete with questionable border zones. Somehow though, to you this was something unique and, therefore, the annexation was justified. If every country with a border issue in Europe decided to make a fight about it, the entire continent would be a war zone.
You should
Still, I don’t recall any poll re Russian intervention, let alone one I mentioned.
At the start of the Russian annexation, you never stopped explaining how those areas were Russian and therefore belonged to Russia.
The problem is that the vast majority of Georgian people are in favor of EU accession, and they see these laws as influence from Russia and the Georgian government acceding to Russian control. The current government openly campaigned with a pro-Western European slant. They see these laws as a retreat.
The people also see it as a one-sided play where Russian propaganda is a one-way street. Do you think anyone believes these laws would apply to Russian influence? The Georgian people don’t like the Russian regime.
Can you now answer the question I left for you in the very first comment I made and hopefully we’ll work our way down.
