I didnt get that far, Henry,but you and your colleagues did well.

I especially appreciated one of you colleagues comparing the invasion of Ukraine and the attack on Iran,and why we condemned the first,but not the latter.

Luxon was out of his depth,and it showed.

They want you to be numb Israel and the United States have started another war. The propaganda is inescapable. And did you know? You're ruining it if you talk about the parents screaming in the street trying to find their bab...

I guess this is why we have journalists...

So they listen to the things we can't stomach.

At 5:23, a journo (who?) asks Luxon one of the best questions i've heard put to him, comparing Russia attacking Ukraine, and US attacking Iran.

Luxon ducks it.

The subsequent invasion of de-nuclearised Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 was a stark lesson to all nuclear-armed nations: surrender your nukes at your peril.

Nuclear disarmament is now a lost cause. Security guarantees are sadly, worthless.

"No fucking way, get me some nukes."

Sadly,that lesson was learned in the eafrly 1990s, when Ukraine was persuaded to relinquish it's Soviet-era nuclear missiles and return them to Russia. This agreement,the Budapest Memorandum, guaranteed Ukraine's security by US, Europe, and... Russia.

Businesses fear months of roadworks on Lower Hutt streets will put potential customers off Queens Drive and High Street will be closed for the rest of the year, which is causing traffic chaos and worrying businesses.

Well, I wonder who will take responsibility for this...

New Zealand's Prime Minister Chris Luxon just appointed his reported Waiheke Island neighbour Cecilia Robinson, a New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM)

Her related companies, Aratataki Health / Tend, has also been awarded multiple contracts under his government #nzpol #Kiwi

Clark slams NZ government’s reaction to US–Israel strikes Former Prime Minister Helen Clark has labelled New Zealand's official response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran "a disgrace". Clark spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

That thought has more than crossed my mind, Jombucha.

Former PM, Helen Clark sounded more ministerial; more adult; than that property-owning, ✌️Laser-Focused✌️, fool.

I fear Luxon may blunder us into this deadly American adventurism.

Iran attacks - Mon Mar 2

Yup. 100%.

BTW, the Aussies have wisely announced they would not commit their troops should the Yanks be dumb enough to commit boots-on-ground in Iran. It will be a meat-grinder and we should have no part in an illegal war.

Iran attacks - Mon Mar 2

My second greatest fear is that our inept,out-of-touch Landlord PM & Sychophantic Foreign Minister will decide to commit our troops to this American adventurism if they put boots-on-ground in Iran.

Our Aussie cuzzies have the right idea:stay out of this illegal war. rnz.liveblog.pro/lb-rnz/blogs...

Oh American people, you chose such a wonderful man to be your president.

Now you can enjoy the privilege of watching your petrol prices treble, quadruple.

So wise to have chosen Donald J Trump.
