Serious question, what do they have to do with the Sachs/Tucker video......claiming the bombing was because NATO needed a base.....
I believe the NATO bombing had multiple motives, with the primary goal being to force Milosevic into submission. However, it was both gruesome and unnecessary. The actions of NATO and the United States against a sovereign state mirror the very actions for which Israel faces condemnation. Innocent civilians lost their lives during the bombing, and cancer rates skyrocketed due to the use of approximately 25 tonnes of depleted uranium.

And yes, on ancient Serbian land lies the largest US base in the Balkans, spanning 955 acres. Don’t think for a moment that this was accidental.

Sounds awfully like what Russia is now doing towards Ukraine......gruesome and unnecessary killing of innocent civilians in a sovereign state.....

Mate, Bowen a federal minister.

This is a NSW Problem today.

From 2011 to 2023 this state had a Liberal Government, and built ZERO new coal fired power stations

From 2013 to 2022 the federal goverment was a Liberal Goverment and they built ZERO new coal fired powerstations in New South Wales.

8 - 11 years to get cracking on your problem when they had all the power, to get more power.
Why would anyone build or upgrade a coal fired power station when there is policy and regulatory uncertainty? Every big decision seems to be made when Govt needs to approve a development. It's policy on the fly.

For a developed nation, we have been lacking in leadership and policy direction on climate matters. Give industry some basic rules and they'll be able to navigate.

Whoah, dude. A few people well and truly flipped during Covid, Pete Evans, that long-haired Scottish guy that did the documentaries... Covid was a hard time for everyone, and it's aftermath is still emerging.

Are you sure you're ok? There is support out there if you need to reach out and talk about what you're carying with you about those times.
Im fine ... it was just an example

But i get that the people who got on their high horses and slung the most shit at those of us who didnt agree, then all got sick the same way, are now the most adamant to pretend none of it never happened cos it didnt pan out how they were so sure it would

Good to hear. It was the murderer bit that made me genuinely enquire.

Interesting take, but you're entitled to it.
