Nobody is lionising Russia, it is certainly no better or worse than the US when all is said and done and the fact is that 90% of the World does not accept the Western position. We don't hear about that of course.

The Global South sees the West for what it is, the lies and hypocrisy are not overlooked. The global medling since the 50s is clear and goes on unashamedly. What can one make of the cant about moderation in Gaza while still supplying money and weapons to Israel, vetoing UN Cease Fire resolutions and bombing, illegally, entities that are actually trying to do something about the genocide? What to make of the cruel silencing of Julian Assange who did nothing but tell us all the truth and give credence to whom is really the Great Satan? What to make of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, WMDs and the China "threat" when the US spends more on its military and hundreds of bases worldwide than do the next 6 nations combined including China.

No my friend, please don't try to divert us, we have Taylor Swift to do that, fools that we mostly are.

" bombing, illegally, entities that are actually trying to do something about the genocide"

Are the entities you speak of Hamas/Hezbollah and Houthi's by chance ? - But not Iran , Turkey . Syria and Russia ? - Too busy in Syria I presume and double for Russia in Ukraine.

No genocide at all is occurring when Hamas are using civilians as human shields. The tunnel network runs the length and breadth of Gaza, with entrances and exits in and between schools, hospitals, mosques, public residential buildings, and homes.

Hamas built no shelters and refused to allow Civilians to use the Tunnels as these were for Hamas to shelter in from the bombing plus they said they are not responsible for civilians despite being the governing body elected by the Palestinians themselves.

Hamas are commandeering aid trucks as well as Hamas said the aid is for Hamas and any thing left over will be distributed. Hamas also said they will fight on till the last Palestinian - very Goebbels like -total war and fight on to the last German.

Surely the Palestinians will wake up and stop throwing their lot in with Islamic Terrorist groups and even electing them - The PLO should have cured them of that but alas it didn't

So would you rather the US /Allies have taken Japan island by island? How long would that take as the Japanese were not folk that generally surrendered?

In late July 1945, the US War Department provided an estimate that the entire Downfall operations would cause between 1.7 to 4 million U.S. casualties, including 400-800,000 U.S. dead, and 5 to 10 million Japanese dead.

https://www.history.navy.mil/about-u...apanese%20dead.

The Japanese were training kids and women to take on the US/Allied troops with rocks and sharpened bamboo sticks. How do you think that would have gone? - They called it Ketsu-Go -Japanese leaders regarded Ketsu-Go as apocalyptic battle in which they would either succeed or be totally destroyed as a nation

Sweden has a right wing government in recent years which came to power, like so many others in Europe, on the back of anti immigration hysteria.

Yeah, the hot Swedish blondes are now hot Swedish browns

Enough of your European / New World / Asian focus, let’s talk about what directly impacts every single one of us Australians, and to most it’s a dirty word but it shouldn’t be, TAX.

I will leave the explanation to Dr Richard Denniss of the Australia Institute in his recent address to the National Press Club to highlight where we sit as a nation and possible improvements to our common wealth.

In these increasingly difficult times, we could all be better off with strategic yet minimal tax reform. Alas

It does mean that we have a media dominated by USA news agencies and in our case by Murdoch.

Globalism - A love story...

Perhaps u can now understand why i prefer Nationalism...the only alternative to Globalism.

Our Media dominated by Murdoch??

Excuse me but...............hahahahahahaha

Murdoch is living rent free in your head. U need to try something stronger than panadol to curb ur delusions...

[Rocky Rhodes]

Well we’ll well Look at this court ruling in Queensland

https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103515692

Yeah but the courts can't bring back the millions of excess deaths.

Safe and effective. Trust the science.....

Russia's special military intervention aims are limited to consolidating the Russian majority enclaves in the East and the Crimea. The might of the army has never been employed nor will it be. The total conquest of Ukraine is not the agenda. The aim of all war is to force a political settlement asap.

Sweden has a right wing government in recent years which came to power, like so many others in Europe, on the back of anti immigration hysteria.

You think Putin will capture Kiev, change the government and then leave?

Netanyahu is trying to force a political settlement too!! I mean realistically Hamas crossed a border to enter Israel and kill 1000 civilians- so Israels response is to cross a border to "force a political settlement" and if it means killing civilians to remove Hamas then that's the. cost of war. Personally that doesn't sit well with me.

Russia has the biggest stockpile of 5900 nuclear warheads.....more than any the world. They are totally untouchable by any country- unless you got a deathwish!! This BS about Russian security concern is exactly thw

Excellent post Count.

Unlikely that the likes of Rocco and Carlotta would entertain any of it. They see the answer to our economic ills in just hating brown people, "woke" elites like Dr. Richard Dennis and anyone else the Oz power elite sools them onto. Memo to Rocco: Please explain how the loss of a Woolworths CEO presiding over price gouging, while on $8.5m a year, is a tragedy? You're raving to yourself buddy. Try to make some sense please.

* Randy. No doubt that as regional and global power, Russia wants to maintain its spheres of influence both for economic but mostly security reasons, it is just not as blatant and candid about that as is the US with its Monroe Doctrine which seems these days to apply to most of the globe. Its NATO also looking to expand. Unlike the USA, which has been incessantly meddling in Russian affairs since Putin righted the ship of state in the 90s, Russia has experienced a genocidal invasion in living memory. Surely that must count for something?

* "Realistically Hamas crossed a border to kill 1000 civilians" has been a very handy "justification" for manufacturing our consent to the murder of 25000 Palestinian innocents. Do we have the full story on that yet? The attacks were "realistically" on fortified settlements which were/are part of the extensive wall of an open air prison cruelly containing an oppressed community (The Un has regularly complained about it). Does a people not have a right to break out of that intolerable situation? How many deaths can be attributed to the belated Israeli response and the policy of "better dead than hostage"?

"Go Woke, Go Broke"...

Hey Rocky, I think the supermarket duopoly and price gauging had more to do with his demise than anything. My grocery bill keeps going up and up despite inflation decelerating. Then there’s all those nasty security cameras. They force us into using self service checkouts but treat us all as potential thieves.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Like I said to Salvo I use Aldi. I’ve never heard of fresh’n’save. That must be a QLD brand. We have IGA here but it’s not convenient and pricing is no better than the big two.

OK, I'm happier to explain it to u rather than that ignoramus mental midget PC61 who consistently displays the IQ equivalence of a 6 yrs old...dude is completely devoid of any logic or common sense.

My use of the word "Woke" is basically a nicer term than "Communist Pig" which is what woke Is.

Basic economics here...we have 2 main forces of economics at work...On the one hand we have CAPITALISM (Capitalism in it's pure form expands business, creates jobs and creates competition....it is this competition that drives PRICES DOWN.

On the other hand we have GLOBALISM (nicer term for Socialism/ Communism)..Globalism destroys competition (i.e - Mergers, Company takeovers etc) to eventually create Duopolies & Monopolies. Under Duopolies (eg Coles/WW) & Monopolies there is lesser or no competition which drives PRICES UP.

There u go...It's no mystery when u put a little though into things. Globalist / Socialist hate competition. Globalist hate nationalism and true capitalism...Monopolies/ Duopolies can charge what they want.

And Banducci's actions to ban Australia day Merch have costs millions in profits (massive drop in share price too) as peeps (including me) boycotted WokeWorths. That's why he was sacked. Unless WokeWorths change I'll do my shopping elsewhere.

Oh, Noooos....not the simpletons RACE CARD again..not only are u the racist but u are predicable and boring.

So all those Aborigines, Europeans, Anglo Saxons, Asians, Indians, Africans etc etc who voted "NO" are all racist?? Or perhaps the peeps were not completely as gullible as u in thinking this was for the benefit of the majority of Aborigines, The major corporations who funded the YES vote...apparently care for aborigines? Yet these same corporations are the ones PRICE GAUGING all it's customers including Aborigines. LOL..
Obviously there were other agendas at play FL

Rocky see's the Aborigines as Australians
PC61 see's Aborigines as "Brown People" (his words not mine)

Rocky see's the constitution as providing equality for ALL.
PC61 see's the constitution as giving special rights/ privileges for one race over another race (that is the text book racism)

So who is WKE & WACIST? Rocky will let the good reader decide.

Lol, where did you pull that quote of mine from? I must have posted that about 6 months ago. Nice research. Good lesson in basic economics. Next time could you throw in a graphical representation and comparison of the elasticity of aggregate demand curve for a monopoly v a perfect competitor.

Haha...that's Gold. There is no elasticity in Gold. Hypothesis closed.

As for the quote, that was u at 5:44pm today...drinking perhaps??

Check again. That was not what I wrote at 5:44pm today. Never mentioned Aldi, IGA or any of that stuff today. Sure you weren’t the one having a little drink now lol?

Nor did I....supermarket duopoly and price gauging was clearly your main points which i based my hypothesis on....Sure there wasn't a bit of brandy in ur tea? Enjoy ur night MR...
