I bet you were captain of your debating team ?
Yeah telling fibs doesn't get you anywhere in a discussion either.

Telling fibs is what you lefties do best though

There are literally 10,000 articles written by merkins who have political science for breakfast on that topic. Have you been alseep Snow White ?

Vladimir Putin: The rebuilding of ‘Soviet’ Russia

The world was stunned when Russia invaded Crimea, but should it have been, asks author and journalist Oliver Bullough.

Read it again in context.

I think you need much better sources Gronky.

If you think you know more than or are smarter than Noam Chomsky, I can’t help you.

He would eat your ivory tower Prince Charming merkins for breakfast.

I see you’re on the BBC teat. There’s many sources of news and information.

You won’t entertain rational thinking about it or new ways of looking at the problem.

1 million casualties, bombs and people being killed everywhere and you want to ramp up the stakes?

That’s too irrational and radical a position to entertain seriously.

You can hazard a guess that Vlad isn’t going to deploy tactical nukes, that’s all fine, but as I’ve said, his conduct so far suggests the exact opposite.

And if you’ve read any of the literature or watched any documentaries on nuclear arms or war…. Once deployed or launched, they are difficult to turn back.

What happens if nuclear weapons are used?

What is the impact of a detonated nuclear weapon? Just one can have a fatal impact globally.

Once again you replied to a different post. You asked about Putin’s woody for the Soviet (re)union.

Mr Chomsky is big on Ukraine/Nato being provocative. He conveniently omitted the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Interesting is his thoughts on the doomsday clock here with Piers. He says we are closer now because of Putin AND the ignorance surrounding climate change. Your hero who gets the keys to the USA and the LNP here both thumb their noses at that shit.

It’s a fib to claim that antagonising the ruskies by sending more shite to the ukkies will suddenly result in Vlad putting up his hands, apologising and withdrawing from the Ukraine/crimea.

All of the evidence says the situation is the exact opposite.

The Cold War was over 30 years ago Snow White.

1 million casualties to prove a point.

That’s sad Gronky.

Im a Penny Wong fan, not dutto.

The Cold War was over 30 years ago Snow White.

So why is Putin trying to revitalise it?
Why would he invade what was a peaceful country?
Yes, there are a million dead and that is catastrophic.
Zelensky is defending his homeland which has been invaded by a continually hostile country.
No concessions should be made to Putin.
The whole of Europe's peace, and indeed, the worlds, is in danger, and there is only one man responsible for that.
Putin is the 2020's version of Hitler.

Well don’t smugly dismiss science. I posted a 100 page pdf explanation from imminent scientists explaining the nuances of gender, sex, hormones and I don’t care if you lot a) attribute it to something that I made up on the shitter, or b) quibble like Pou did by focusing on a small aspect of a meme that he didn’t like, because it demonstrates to me that you only made a momentary glance at what I posted or purposely went down the stawman route.

Unscientific FFS. LMAO

Word salad.

ICC = International Criminal Court, who issued an Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu AND the leader of Hamas.

Watch what he says about his allies - us.

So the Yank isn't happy that the ICC wants to make Netamhayoooo responsible?

Shock horror! That will stop them making easy money

They are seriously taking the piss.
f**king disgrace of a union.

Vancouver is comparable to Sydney over many levels, HOWEVER I thought Sydney is probably 15 or 20 years ahead of Vancouver. It is often compared and rightly so and if you look at it's rail map, just as extensive as ours (without metro).

The 24h topic is discussed in their city too however.

Why doesn't Vancouver have a 24-hour SkyTrain?

This is why we can't have nice things.

I found Vancouver looked like a bigger version then Auckland more then Sydney tbh.

Just my observations when I was there.

Maybe cost of living is a good comparison. Vancouver is one of worst in the world though.

Vancouver is Brisbane at best...

Did your trains end up running the last 4 days?

The yank threatens to crush our economy if we support the arrest warrant for him.

Our Aussie top silk predicted that.

We will see. Seeing the Reserve Bank doesn’t reconvene until Feb

They meet in December.

But it's unlikely they'll do shit then anyways.

These people are not victims until and unless the court decides.

These people are victims if they are victims. What the legal system decides does not change that reality, it merely is a decision about what or who's version is to be believed.

I think he may have already been treated differently for years .... this stuff aint new - they have been taking a long time to get to a point they charge him.

Kate McClymont said its taken 4yrs for the story to be revealed. That may of been 4 yrs of him getting treated differently to an average merkin

100%

Let's say you are a prosecutor at the time when Jones is at the height of his influence and you have this case.

You are betting your career on taking it forward, and likely the careers of your direct superiors, on charges that will often boil down to who does the jury believe.

Do you have the balls to run with it?

So, a Labor Govt gets elected with the promise they will avert strikes and know how to deal with their masters , the unions.

They start by giving particular workers under govt control huge rises, then seem surprised that every govt worker wants the same, and the militant ones will strike to get it. Previously it was a set rise across all govt employees with larger increases tied to productivity improvements.Railway unions , ETU , CFMEU etc all holding people to ransom
.
As good as a used car salesman Minns is, he is surrounded by hopeless ministers. If they weren’t opening infrastructure organised by the previous govt, then wonder what they would be announcing. Fortunately, their opposition is led by a left wing, wet leader in Speakman, so they can just muddle on with their major problem being Albanese and co having no idea.

NSW is not functioning as well as it should be.

Hmm, better we get ten years of mandated wage freeze.

Some cynics say that Dutton's nuclear policy is a ruse for burning coal longer.

A party that had 22 separate energy policies over nine years, and failed to implement any of them, a scant two years later is claiming it is gonna have a nuclear power plant up and producing in ten years time.

Okey dokey.

Gronk, as a progressive socialist , what’s your opinion on Senator Mace in the US senate putting up a bill to prevent the transgender Senator from using the female toilets. Says she doesn’t want to be subjected to male genitalia in a female bathroom.

Seems fairly simple to me , given there have been issues and assaults on females and it has support .i wouldn’t want my daughter or granddaughter put in that situation,

Why are conservatives so obsessed by peoples dangly bits?
