It is difficult on the one hand for the Democrat establishment to paint Trump as an urgent existential threat to democracy and on the other nominate a visibly doddery 81 year old man with a 38% approval rating that 75% of Americans think is too old without...
During the cold war US nuclear submarines spent a lot of time in the shallow territorial waters of the USSR and were basically never detected. The idea that nuclear attack submarines are easy to detect is nonsense.
So does the fact that the entire British news media donned black when it was announced king Charles has cancer mean it worse than they are publicly letting on or that the entire UK MSM is a bunch of obsequious establishment toadies?

I wouldn't get to pleased about drone swarms though. We are seeing a pace of technology development not seen since the first/second world war. Both sides are using AI drone technology to overcome EW interference of FPV signals. The Ukrainians for instance ...
Kremlin trolls like to push the narrative that Ukraine can't win, that Russia through the impacable will of it's blood drenched dictator will continue to feed manpower straw into the battlefield furnance until victory has been achieved. However, war isn't ...
Most Black Sea and Azov Sea commercial shipping has collapsed I would dispute this one, at least for Ukraine. Ukraine has scored a significant strategic victory in the Black Sea naval war, and has pretty much defeated Russia for now in terms of Russia's ...
Sea denial now completely dominates littorial surface naval warfare. That means keeping sea lanes open for freedom of navigation around littorial choke points is going to potentially become a much more violent affair and require a lot of effort from ...
lol it literally shows the ship exploding. But hey, keep up the copium.

"...Trotter gets it wrong today..." In other news the sun rose in the east and the pope is still a catholic. Gawd, even Bradbury has kicked Trotter into touch from his site. Trotts has a new audience these days. Middle aged incels and boomer racists over ...
On the 10th December 1941 the British capital ships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers in the South China Sea. HMS Prince of Wales was a brand new battleship equipped with the latest anti-aircraft weapons. It was an ...
Tova says it's OK because the whole caffeine is as bad as tobacco thing is in the NZF manifesto and well, they "won" the election (with 6% of the vote - 94% of us didn't vote for a corrupt party). That would be the same manifesto the MSM refused (because ...
Luxon's big problem is the MSM narrative being built of a weak PM - an inexperienced corporate manager who can't control his coalition partners. Once the media narrative has been built shifting it is almost impossible, given how lazy our journalists are.

Jesus Christ, how corrupt do you have to be in NZ politics before the media call you out as corrupt? https://www.thepost.co.nz/politics/350158370/tobacco-lobbyist-guest-ministers-swearing-ceremony NZ First are a bunch of filthy, corrupt grifters. The whole...
I know probably a good half dozen hard core smokers who gave up due to price. Now, they were all middle class but I'd wager the price point helps across all socio-economic groups.
But as a counter point, under FPP governments don't have to pander to a lunatic fringe in order to gain/retain power.
MMP is a failure. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/507471/official-documents-suggest-a-nz-first-minister-wants-to-freeze-excise-tax-on-cigarettes-but-she-denies-it Only MMP would allow anywhere power a party of lying nincompoops with such a frankly ...
Seymour will embrace Hindutva Indians, whose spokespeople in mysteriously well funded astroturf "community" groups will become the default "voice of the Indian community" for our lazy media. Six Hindutva "dairy owners" will get free reign in the press to ...
Trotter is on the council of that astroturf creation of the TPU - the self-styled "Free Speech Union" alongside such dubious characters as Stephen Franks, Ani O’Brien and Jordan Williams. As such he is now an acolyte of the Atlas Network. He has gone ...
"...Rightwing swing is a reality..." This goes back to Advantages post the other day. I was amazed that Robert Fico became leader of Slovakia - Slovakia has a broad anti-Russian consensus, yet here was a Putin fan boi from the far right running the place. ...
Seymour is endlessly ambitious, and it is clear his playbook is influenced by the whole right wing Atlas network project. As you say so succinctly it is the Brexit play of using a "...populist majoritarian card to gain favour for its small government ...
Thanks for posting this, the OP is a shameless pro-Russian propaganda piece.
A war without a just conclusion is merely a pause. If Ukraine is forced into a fait accompli, they'll restart the war once they've rearmed. Expect a wider alliance including Poland to confront Russia in the next war. If Putin is not defeated it will simply...
You can't tell me Seymour didn't know what he was doing using the phrase "Jai Shri Ram" and praising Modi in this clip. He is deliberately courting BJP supporters in New Zealand. The guy is a wannabe authoritarian and is moving his party towards outright ...
"...Having lived in Moscow certainly gives him more credibility than almost anyone you read,..." I guess that made William Joyce the most accurate reporter on Nazi Germany.
One of the biggest issues with the modern "left" is a program of restricted immigration, house building, protecting local jobs, being anti-establishment, speaking out for the little guy and generous welfare for locals only - once the bread and butter stuff...
Politics is a very tough job - it is going to chew people up and spit them out. Nothing is going to change that, because democracy is tribal, money is brutal in defence of it's privilege, and our MSM is in a death spiral race to the bottom where the bovine...
"...There is a reason the Teal women independents supplanted the (petrol heads) boys of the Liberal caucus in those urban seats over the ditch..." Unfortunately, the Teal independents is the modern NZ Labour party, and they just lost.
Simeon Browne has completely drunk the kool-aid of US style nihilistic culture wars. He doesn't care about the climate or good policy, he just wants to own the libs.
