Have you noticed Iranian proxies have been lobbing bombs into the UAE? Their way of thanking Stumbles for removing the Houthi from the list of terrorists.

Glad to hear your NZ freedoms are not a big issue for you. Might be for me as a vax mandate refusenik. George II and Brandon are getting way too much credit from my POV. Everyone was on board with the WMD in Iraq thing if you look at the media of the day, so G-II was getting it from all directions. I remember the crazy "undercover CIA" lady and her husband and the story about yellowcake smuggling from Africa. It all got sensationalized and everyone bought it. Then WMD got dumbed down to chemicals. Saddam fooled us to fool Iran, but it seems we had help from CIA amateur hour and the media, oh, and the UN. Can't forget that. Brandon's army dumped everything in Afghanistan so they could buy more toys and pass out more favors. They may do the same in Ukraine. I worry about that more than Russia. The world doesn't need more advanced weapons floating around. Ukraine should worry about Brandon and his boy more too. Those two obviously didn't have Ukraine's best interest in mind with the stuff they did while he was running the place, essentially, as VP on foreign assignment. Brandon provided/extorted the bank loan guarantee while his son provided the cover to the company looting the country, necessitating the bank loan. Ukraine should not want him there again. We don't want him here. Poor Brandon. Only little girls really dig him. (He thinks.) The money and labor is in China, so business has forged a de facto alliance with them. I don't like it, but until that business dependence is put on an equal basis as everywhere else, we're not going to have a similar alliance with Russia. I'd say viruses could have a good definition as a WMD. We'll see what starts spreading after the Olympics. I saw some symptoms coming out of Xi'an being reported as similar to Ebola. Didn't get much confirmation on that. They did say it was NOT Omicron. We won't tolerate anything worse than what's happened, so if something new pops up out of China, then things may shift with the business alliance. Fauci says we're only in phase 1 of the pandemic. He predicts 5 phases. He's the highest paid civil servant in the USA. I'd like to know what he means by that, but here's a good preview of where things are and may be going, done by a time traveler.

Now that I've got your attention: Pregnant NZ woman turns to Taliban - Jacinda won't help. Sure wish there was a reliable place to escape, just in case. Guess not. Come and Take it! .......................................................................................Gonzales during the Texas revolution. (I should edit Wikipedia - here's another great example of "Come and Take it" - "Old Betsy", a 6-pounder, from the War of 1812 that I found during some family history research) We need to right this ship. Get our Shipp together. (battle story of Ft. Stephenson in the link) "Ensign Shipp refused to surrender. He replied bravely, “When the fort shall be taken there will be none to massacre. It will not be given up while a man is able to resist.”When Ensign Shipp returned to the fort, Major Croghan met him at the gate and said, “Come in Shipp, and we will blow them all to Hell.”" worldhistory.us

Looks like the bear trap got sprung on NATO. Hypersonic Kinzhals sent to "NATO" arms depot near in Ivano-Frankivsk. I heard from Gonzalo Lira that they've already gone after "NATO" infrastructure near Lviv. Sending us all the message that the fake news won't.

Officially, the weapons were used to destroy a munitions depot in Ivano-Frankivsk. In reality, this is a MAJOR deterrent signal to NATO. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/3QvNSiMkLV — Clint Ehrlich (@ClintEhrlich) March 19, 2022

January! Mq you are a genius. Sure enough, you were right, it was a trap and now another $40 billion is ready to be split up among DementiaJoe10%, Hunter, Lindsay, Mitch, Nancy and swarms of hangers on, with piles of lovely loot going to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and co. Russia is getting tanks destroyed galore in a giant turkey shoot. I do wonder whether it's a trap like Saddam fell into after April Glaspie told him the USA would leave locals to sort things out. Then after he gobbled up Kuwait, they told him they changed their minds. Oooppps a daisy. By then he felt committed and refused to retreat. George I stopped the Desert Storm attack at the border, leaving Saddam in charge. But George II made up lies about WMD and launched a full scale attack. Looks like a trap to me. USA is a bit short on wars just now so the military industrial complex would like a contained conflict for testing and cash flow. Bear baiting is a bad idea even if the bear seems tied up and cornered. Apart from cruelty, it's dangerous. Putin should have hired you for advice. I suppose like Saddam he over-rated his soldiers whose hearts weren't really in it though I guess Russians were more committed than Iraqis who wanted nothing more than easy cash and were definitely not going to die in the attempt to defend Saddam. Like Italians in WWII they surrendered by the acre as soon as they got a chance, or ran away in their underwear. Mqurice
