King Charles to divert Crown Estate windfall to 'public good'
thaibeachlovers replied to Scott's topic in World News
Not by the previous Prince of Wales https://duchyofcornwall.org/frequently-asked-questions.html The Duchy of Cornwall is a well-managed private estate, which was established by Edward III in 1337. -

The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate that the Duke of Cornwall administers and not part of the Crown estate. The topic is about the Crown estate. https://duchyofcornwall.org/frequently-asked-questions.html -
King Charles to divert Crown Estate windfall to 'public good'

You need to prove that accusation. What was he "milking it" for, exactly? He hardly lived a jet setter life. Also, do you assume he didn't discuss it with William? I reckon William would approve. -
Hmmmm, given the people that spent the money knew how much they had and knew what the debt ceiling is, one assumes they knew that spending too much was going to cause a problem. Perhaps one can be excused for wondering if those guilty on the overspending did so to leave a problem for the incoming majority party.

Regardless, unless solutions are affordable, acceptable and effective they will be rejected. -
Ukraine war: Germany yet to make decision on sending tanks
thaibeachlovers replied to Scott's topic in World News
More weapons will solve this. ??????????? Is that based on your knowledge of weapons, or the strategy of war? Were you in a command situation in the military to know? Apparently you assume the Russians don't have good weapons to counter such- how do you know that? Were you even in the military? Do you understand the logistics and maintenance requirements of any weapons sent to the Ukraine? Do you understand that NATO weapons require different parts than ex Soviet ones? It's not just a question of supplying X number of tanks or guns- all the parts for maintenance have to be sent too, plus training for the troops using and maintaining them. -
Ukraine war: Germany yet to make decision on sending tanks

Well said about the armchair experts. The Germans have many reasons to not send their tanks to Ukraine, but some don't consider that those tanks would probably escalate the war to something no one wants, and just want them sent anyway. Wisely, the Germans have said that unless the US sends its tanks, they won't allow Leopards to be sent. Up to the US now, IMO. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/19/politics/us-germany-ukraine-tanks-weapons/index.html In recent days, German officials have indicated they won’t send their Leopard tanks to Ukraine, or allow any other country with the German-made tanks in their inventory to do so, unless the US also agrees to send its M1 Abrams tanks to Kyiv – something the Pentagon has said for months it has no intention of doing given the logistical costs of maintaining them. -
In that case, you should support Native American studies course, with emphasis on all the broken treaties. You do want to know about the American past, and for white men to learn and progress, don't you? I have no problem with any course about anything as long as they are not compulsory. If people want a particular course they can sign up for it.

Chris Hipkins set to replace Jacinda Ardern as New Zealand PM

I just hope they don't try and ram through a lot of woke policies before they get the order of the boot. We don't need more cycle paths. -
Do not want to provoke Putin more than necessary? That is exactly why they have not sent them so far. They don't want to escalate the war. So far they have sent defensive weapons, but tanks are an offensive weapon. I think one American official isn't too popular at the moment. I saw him on Al Jazeera saying that the Leopard 2 is the best tank in the world. That's going to "upset" a few people back in the US.

Never going to happen, IMO. To take out Putin, would require authorisation from the US president, or the EU government's PMs. If that happened, it's fair game on any opposing head of state. Anyway, assassinating Putin would likely unite the country against the Allies, and do you assume that the war would end if he was assassinated? Likely it would not.
