Almost half of the non-European population of New Zealand is Maori. There's no way to pretend that this kind of racial thinking in that context is anything but exterminationist.

The siege of Kupyansk being lifted is much more massive Ukraine war news than Trump's pretend ultimata about pretend deals, actually. Focus on that.

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

put aside the 14th amendment issues. At a certain point, when your organizing principle is defiance of the Constitution, you cannot claim to validly hold a role within the constitutional structure
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I read the Art of War for the correct reasons: I was twelve and I was indeed curious as to how one would lead a Warring States Chinese army into a military campaign.
Cursed thought but: because of Gender and a fundamental affinity of intended audience, the Art of War has become a corporate world classic despite it basically just amounting to a desperate plea for aristocrat failsons to please at least learn the basics before they ruin the whole state. Whereas...

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

This being a white british man, this is a white british way of thinking. We Migrants do not care if you welcome us for socialist or for neoliberal reasons, because the problem for us is you blocking entry, not why you do it.
I certainly didn't like the sense from Polanski that he didn't respect this level of adult social care and it felt like the Lib "if you vote brexit who will pick my cheap fruit" where exploitation of migrants was desirable because of its economic benefit

If there aren’t thousands of allied solders in Ukraine after a peace agreement why would EU/US allies be any more willing to jump in and fight Russia directly than they are now? If they are that willing they could directly intervene today!

I dislike weighing in on stupid and pointless discourses, but the idea that you cannot target retreating troops is one of the most grating topics that people bring up.
You retreat so you can conserve combat power and come back to fight from a better position the next day and kill your adversary.
