OT: Current Affairs and Politics

She's right.

It’s an antiquated notion because Vietnam, Iraq and Afganistan would like to have a word with you.

 

[Gary Gutful]

He should have said “you used to be able to bomb your way to peace, but not these days merkins”.

No, it was.

I think Chris Minns is doing an excellent job so far in NSW and this is another example.

 

[Avenger]

Chris Minns is the greatest Labor leader that NSW have had, better than Carr and possibly Labor’s greatest leader at any level since Bob Hawke.

I think Nurses and Midwifes would beg to differ.

His not perfect but he is doing a good enough job for mine. I think unlike a lot of politicians he seems to have a better feel at community level.

The teachers and coppers just got payrises.

Should the nurses have been looked after before them. Yeah maybe they should have.

I don't work in any of those industries but we need all of them in the public sector.

I am sure they will get looked after eventually. I haven't been following it closely enough to know what the main problems are the negotiations with the Nurses union and the state government.

What i do know is the state lost a lot of nurses over covid due to having to work themselves into the ground and the state is still feeling the effects of it.

I don't remember nuclear weapons being used in any of those countries. In fact, in my experience in Afghanistan, we were desperate not to kill merkins. The Taliban were the ones who wanted us killing civilians.

Way over the top.

No-one has had the merkin bombed out of themselves like Hiroshima has. Other comparisons are a bit meaningless.

Chris Minns is less corrupt than Gladys Berejiklian

The quote was “you can’t bomb yourself to peace”.

The rebuttal was, it worked in Japan.

Well, in Iraq for example, they bombed the f**k out of that country to overthrow the leader. While that regime fell, the ensuing power vacuum led to insurgency, civil war, and the rise of ISIS.

Nuclear weapons ? If they used nuclear weapons on Iraq, because they had WMDs, (oops), would that have changed anything? Well it was really about oil and the west were pissed that Saddam nationalised oil production - he blocked foreign investors like Exxon, Shell etc from being able to drill for it themselves. From the US POV, they didn’t want Iraq to have their hand on the tap.

What a cluster f**k and our guy still lies to this very time about it.

No, nuclear weapons would not have prevented ISIS, and imagine using that shit on a false premise that THEY had WMDs. Eek how embarrassment.

Just on a tangent, I think the world are very lucky that the only times that nukes have been used in anger is against the Japanese. Their population holds no grudges. I don’t think the arab nations would be so forgiving.

So you tell me, under what circumstances ARE nuclear weapons appropriate ? When in history should they have been used to bring peace ?

Sounds like we need a Japan Report to find out what the Japanese really think.

Anyone know someone who could get one?
