I am not suggesting that Hitler was morally right and the Allies were morally wrong. Far from it. You are evaluating matters solely on the basis that the Russian Army attacked the Ukraine on the 24th February 2022. That reminds me of the German au-pair girl we had in about 1950 who had been a member of the Hitler Youth. She greatly annoyed my mother, whose husband [my father] had died fighting in '44, by telling her that Britain was responsible for starting the War because the U.K. had declared war on Germany. It is true that Hitler did not want war with Britain and France. Initially he even hoped Poland would cooperate with him in his plan to carve up the Soviet Union. He sought lebensraum in eastern Europe. He even claimed to admire the British Empire and said at one point that he would come to its defence if necessary. Of course no great reliance should be placed on Hitler's word. He claimed to be personally honest but added he would lie to any extent necessary to serve Germany's interest. He identified Germany's interest with his own. He assured Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway that he had no aggressive intentions towards them several weeks before he invaded. I think one can say that Germany started the War after the Polish Government refused the demands over the Polish Corridor. But Britain and France turned it into what became a world war involving Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, and [after a brief delay to denote their independence] Canada. The German people as a whole, thanks to Dr Goebbels and his crew, believed that Germany was acting in self-defence. Had not Germany been attacked by the Polish Army? Well, actually, no. They had been attacked by German concentration-camp inmates dressed in Polish uniforms. And the attackers had all been successfully destroyed. Confusion in London and Paris caused by this staged scenario partially explains the delay in declaring war. If you look back no further than 3rd September 1939, and moreover believe the lie that Germany was acting in self-defence, it is easy to claim that Britain and France started WW2. If one looks back no further than 24th February 2022, it is easy to claim that the Russian Federation started the war in the Ukraine. This ignores the fact that massacres followed by war began eight years earlier. The negotiation of the unkept Minsk-1 Accords resulted from a severe defeat of the Ukrainian Army by the forces of the autonomous regions. Incidentally, western news reports claimed that Russia was arming the rebels. However no evidence was ever produced of this by on-the-spot OECD observers and NATO officers seconded in an advisory capacity to the Armed Forces of the Ukraine. Polish Military Intelligence reports to the latter stated there was no evidence of this. The rebels were well equipped with former Soviet weaponry from defecting Russian-speaking units of the A.F.U. Certainly there were volunteers from such places as Russia, Serbia, and Spain. There existed several opportunities of a negotiated settlement before, and [the Istanbul Talks] even after, the fatal date in February 2022. But these were condemned to failure by the grip of a xenophobic minority and US/NATO promises to Kiev "We shall give you everything you need to win. Just keep fighting." Angela Merkel admitted, long afterwards, of the Minsk-2 talks, "They were only intended to gain time for the Ukrainian Army to re-arm and re-organise."Thu, 21 May 2026 15:35:39 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 15:34:14 +0000YES! That is beef. And, might I add: It looks amazing. Why can't I do that????Thu, 21 May 2026 15:33:44 +0000Beat you I am 80 years oldThu, 21 May 2026 15:33:30 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 15:32:09 +0000This is BeefThu, 21 May 2026 15:29:55 +0000It's an optional field. If you enter Thailand with a visa then you could type that. If (like myself) enter with reentry permit then type that. Nothing has changed from TM6 daysThu, 21 May 2026 15:29:39 +0000New Zealand or Wales? The label says she's from China 😔Thu, 21 May 2026 15:24:55 +0000By the way, Sir: One thing I know about is Pork in Taiwan. Taiwan might not be good for much, but the quality of the pork one buys at local market is supreme. In fact, when I returned to the USA, briefly, after living many years in Taiwan, I was supremely disappointed with the quality of the pork available at the USA local supermarkets. In the USA, one can buy great guts of beef; in Taiwan, the beef on Formosa is garbage.... so, different tastes in different countries. MEANWHILE, since the clock on the oven is still ticking: This experience, my first attempt at roast pork, is beginning to remind me of my first reading of Lord of The Flies.Thu, 21 May 2026 15:24:53 +0000Yes, our post isThu, 21 May 2026 15:21:13 +0000Why give me a thumbs down read the news every dayThu, 21 May 2026 15:20:01 +0000That´s a very uneducated post!

The part about their reunion with him converting her to badminton and away from the sinful hell that volleyball on Phuket so easily falls into. But he sent me a picture.Thu, 21 May 2026 15:18:12 +0000Read the forum before posting things other people post already, Newbie!Thu, 21 May 2026 15:16:47 +0000Ev, as usual, you caused me to investigate Neturei Karta more deeply. Here's what I found out. Neturei Karta's original mission was to oppose efforts in the Old Yishuv to establish a Jewish armed force during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt. The group believed that such a force would be destructive and that Torah scholars are the true guards of the Jewish people. Neturei Karta leader Moshe Hirsch befriended PLO leader Yasir Arafat, who many Israelis viewed as their major enemy. The group protested together with the PLO at the UN in 1970. Hirsch attended Arafat's funeral in Ramallah. If by associating with Neo-Nazis, you are referring to six members of the group who attended the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust in Tehran in 2006, sure, Neo-Nazis were in attendance and Holocaust deniers made speeches. “However, six members of the anti-Zionist Jewish organisation Neturei Karta, including Aharon Cohen,who said he had come to the conference to express the Orthodox Jewish viewpoint. Cohen also said that while the Holocaust indisputably happened, ‘in no way can it be used as a justification for perpetrating unjust acts against the Palestinians.’. Iran's sole Jewish member of parliament Maurice Motamed said: "Holding this conference after having a competition of cartoons about the Holocaust has put a lot of pressure on Jews all over the world;"and that "The conference has upset Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community." One student activist said the protest against Ahmadinejad was against the "shameful" Holocaust conference, and added that Ahmadinejad had "brought to our country Nazis and racists from around the world." Neturei Karta activists have appeared almost every day at US cease-fire rallies, where hundreds of members live. They have compared Zionists to Nazis and denied the Judaism of Zionists, with statements like: "Zionists are not Jews, only racists" and "Zionism does not represent the Jewish people." In September 2024, Neturei Karta rabbis were present at an interfaith meeting in New York with Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian during General Assembly of the United Nations. In 2026, Neturei Karta observed the Nakba with Palestinians. Here's what I get about Neturei Karta: - Against a Jewish armed force. - Interfaith meetings with PLO and Iran’s President. - Not Holocaust denial but the fact that the Holocaust is no justification for perpetrating unjust acts against the Palestinians. - Zionists are racists. - Observing the Nakba with Palestinians. - How I’ll get to the signs: - “Every abortion is an unborn soldier.” - Jews refusing to serve in the IDF. De facto recognition of conscientious objectors. - End the occupation. - Palestinian sovereignty. - Opposing the sale of West Bank land in a New York synagogue. - Support for both Palestinians and Lebanese Muslims against IDF indiscriminate murder. Neturei Karta may well be fringe by numbers but tell me which of these anyone can disagree with.Thu, 21 May 2026 15:15:19 +0000indeed and African originated and imported in america as slaves.

Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded the M/T Celestial Sea as it traveled in the Gulf of Oman, potentially toward an Iranian port. They searched the ship and forced it to alter its course in adherence with the blockade, according to U.S. Central Command.Thu, 21 May 2026 15:14:49 +0000New Zealand or Wales?Thu, 21 May 2026 15:14:34 +0000Sounds like he's got a lot of homework to catch up on ...Thu, 21 May 2026 15:14:00 +0000I have a pressure cooker, but you don't need it for pork; you need it for beef.
