If you want to ban an anti-Fascist movement (no such formal organisation, more of an idea) that must make you a Fascist.

I call them stink tanks because their ideas & their intentions stink.

They often use lies & misinformation to influence people & to mislead them.

Innovative & imaginative Ukraine has struck deep inside Russia, without access to Tomahawks.

EU & NATO in panic over possible war with Russia, but Ukraine war has so depleted Russia I don't think it's possible.

Russia hasn't defeated Ukraine after trying for 4 years.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

Vladimir Putin gets materiel & soldiers from China & N. Korea in his war on Ukraine.

But when USA signals it might give Ukraine Tomahawk missiles Putin says that wd be a serious upscaling of the war.

Notre Dame cathedral has been rebuilt or redesigned 10 times.

Statues of pharaoh Ramesses II were moved to avoid being flooded by Aswan High Dam.

But 'rebuilding' ancient natural cave shelters is kinda make-do, unnatural, unsatisfying.

Trump said he was disappointed with his mate Vladimir after a rain of missiles on residential areas, following a meeting with Vlad.

He was also pissed off by Bendyamind Netanyahu's attack on Hamas negotiators in Qatar.

Let's see if Trump can be consistent & annoyed at same time.

Must be sinful or blasphemous to seek peaceful relations instead of preparing for a war that may never happen.

Has anyone bothered to ask Vladimir Putin or China's Xi Jinping if they want to conquer the world & why?

I'm sure the arms industry drives the tension & competition.

Ukraine doesn't have a platform for the launching of Tomahawk missiles.

But Ukraine's military is innovative. They'll think of something.

True, it ain't capable of deep thought. But many of its MPs are graduates of the IPA stink tank, including James Paterson.

Victorian Liberals are talking about cancelling the State's peace treaty with Indigenous people.

Backward & prejudiced Liberals shd just pack their tent & piss off into the wilderness (where Indigenous people will eventually have to save their lost arses).

Haiti, south-east of Cuba in the Caribbean & rocked by rioting gangs, may have oil reserves greater than those of Venezuela.

Don't tell Donald Trump. He'll want them for himself.
