  1. Try and read this again. You might need to do it slowly because the language is quite difficult. This is what I posted: I understand it might be a little difficult for some to understand and be seen by some as some sort of "dodge".
  2. The true wet didn't really start until late August early September same as last year and storms in November happen.
  3. ATACM's have been in Ukraine for months. Why wait until now to give "limited" use into Russian territory? And please don't say Nth Korean troops. This is a deflection. ATACM"s will make little to no difference in this regard and indeed overall ATACMs aren't going to make much difference. Civilian infrastructure? That's been being hit from the beginning. As for war crimes if you think this isn't happening on the Ukraine side also you are deluded.
  4. I'm fairly sure that Russia has the troops and ammunition to spare. Ukraine doesn't. Apart from this you do not know the reasoning behind the Kursk move so don't make out you do.
  5. The most fortified area you speak of is under great pressure from a constant movement west by the Russians. I think you need to go and have a look at some of the war maps. Kursk has no real tactical value. This was a strategic gamble not a tactical move and it takes troops away from the eastern border which is slowly but surely moving west.
  6. Big tactical mistake for Ukraine to go into Kursk. The eastern border is much more important and needs the troops. The Russians are steadily moving west albeit bit by bit.
  7. Electioneering that's all this is. PP will win the next election if we get to it without tanks rolling, then they will un-win it due to "constitutional technicalities", PTP will form a coalition with the dinosaur royalist military establishment and the status quo will continue.
  8. Ridiculous comment. Basically for you anyone who doesn't agree with your progressive left woke view is a Russian troll. Anyone with common sense is a Russian troll. I suggest you shouldn't throw the term "troll" around so liberally. It might rebound.
  9. An ignorant comment. This is a move from a lame duck president war hawk that edges the world closer to WW III and can quite easily be seen as trying to railroad any chance Trump has of finding a peaceful solution. ATACM's will make a difference for sure but their simply won't be enough to stop and reverse Russia's gains. It will push back the Su-34's release point of their glide bombs in some areas which is now in Russian held territory but again there won't be enough of them and will certainly do nothing to stop drone attacks. As it is Russia is winning this protracted attritional war. The use of ATACMs into Russian territory will slow down the advance and will interrupt supply but won't stop it. The war needs to be stopped and this lame duck at the 11th hour of being in office has just thrown fuel onto the fire.
  10. I am well aware of the meaning of this proverb. There's likely a basis to a rumor. It can also be said to be an accusation or opinion with no basis other than speculation based on on a rumor/false allegation. It's also a saying that has absolutely zero basis in law. However there is also a saying that sht sticks. I'm sure you're aware of this one. It's when an innocent person who has been found not guilty and hence cleared of all charges is treated and continues to be treated as if guilty of all charges.
  11. Scientific evidence argues against zoonotic origin.
  12. It's not me saying that. Innocent until proven guilty IMO and even then a person can still be innocent.
  13. Then you should keep your unsubstantiated, slanderous, vitriolic "opinion" to yourself.
  14. One quibbles when something is trivial. You really should know what words mean before you use them. This is an example of something that isn't trivial. Something that one doesn't quibble about.
  15. Indeed. Critical thinking ain't your thing is it.
  16. Ah that's ok then. Calling him a kiddie fiddler and child rapist means what then?
  17. "Kiddie fiddler" "child rapist". Wow! Some people. I know you're form on here but you really need to start considering your state mind. Apart from your questionable mental state 17 years old can hardly be called a kiddie fiddler, child rapist now can it and to call someone this who has not been convicted of said crimes is pretty fkd.
  18. People can make up their own minds. Really? I remember having a severe bout of censorship over the last 4 years where this was definitely not the case.
  19. He has not been found guilty of any charges. You yourself said accused. He was accused yes and found not guilty of any charge. Tell me this is incorrect. As for resigning he has to to take up the AG position. Excellent timing IMO. This is just more lawfare stemming from the what's written in one of the above articles two dodgy witnesses.
  20. Then you will know this but have failed to mention it. Best not to call other people disingenuous when it can clearly be argued this is exactly what you've been. Gaetz, 42, who represented Florida’s District 1 covering part of the Florida Panhandle, was investigated by the FBI on sex-trafficking allegations involving a 17-year-old and was not charged with any crime. The federal investigation ended last year. Gaetz has said he was the target of an extortion plot. A House Ethics Committee investigation was launched in April 2021. It was deferred at the request of the Department of Justice and reauthorized in 2023 after the department withdrew that deferral request. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/woman-told-house-ethics-committee-saw-gaetz-sex-minor-lawyer-says-rcna180435 As for the Ethics Committee Report The report comes years after DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims on the grounds that the two central witnesses had serious credibility issues. Yet these are the same two central witnesses the House Ethics Committee has relied on for its critical report of Gaetz—the same report it is leaking to compliant reporters as part of a coordinated effort to thwart his nomination as President-elect Donald Trump’s next attorney general. https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/17/house-probe-into-matt-gaetz-relies-on-witnesses-doj-found-lacked-credibility/ "I'm going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report, because that is not the way we do things in the House," Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, told reporters in the US Capitol. Gaetz, 42, who denies any wrongdoing, resigned from Congress on Wednesday, bringing the ethics probe to an end two days before the committee had been expected to release the document. The former congressman faced a nearly three-year Justice Department investigation into sex-trafficking allegations involving a 17-year-old girl. His office said in 2023 he had been told by prosecutors he would not be charged. Johnson said he planned to urge House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest not to provide the Gaetz report to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "The rules of the House have always been that a former member is beyond the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee," said Johnson, who returned on Friday morning from meeting Trump at the president-elect's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. "I think it's a terrible breach of protocol and tradition and the spirit of the rule," he added. "I think that would be a terrible precedent to set." https://www.odt.co.nz/news/world/speaker-wants-ethics-report-trump-pick-gaetz-secret
  21. Only 34 of the 100 senate seats were up for election so no they didn't elect 2/3 of them.
  22. I hope you're right. He should be given a free hand. Might not be conventional but that's part of the appeal of Trump. People voted for change and change they will get.
