Keir Simmons, Shira Pinson and Sara Monetta, from NBC - the White House thanks you for your propagandising for the military-industrial complex.

Meanwhile, YOUR COUNTRY JUST SLAUGHTERED ABOUT 175 SCHOOL CHILDREN.

THINK ABOUT THAT AS YOU HUG YOUR KIDS TONIGHT.

Strike on Girls’ School Kills at Least 175, Iranian State Media Says

Meanwhile, in the Real World...

You'll excuse me if NO FUCKING FUCKS ARE FUCKING GIVEN ABOUT PRIVILEGED WESTERNERS INCONVENIENCED WHILE CHILDREN ARE BLOWN TO BITS.

No wonder much of the world hates your (American) guts.

The people who spent two years levelling Gaza would like you to know Iran is violating international law In a masterclass of humanitarian restraint that has now stretched into its third glorious year, Israel has continued to show the world how deeply it respects international law.

This might be apropos...

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

A major motivator left out of this story is that govt benefits from higher power prices,recieving higher dividends when powercos profits go up.

Its a form of indirect taxation,so the incentive is not there to promote
solar.

She's nailed it perfectly.

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer The prime minister says it remains the case that the UK will "not join offensive action now".

This is why the Middle East hates the West.

British imperialism has not gone away.

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...

At this rate, the peasantry will soon be taking up torches and pitchforks against the Lord of the Castle...

100%!!

Ok, I made it to 14:55...

It's meaningless waffle. Condensed down to 5 seconds, he doesnt know anything. End of.

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.

For some reason, i think American mandarins would leave a bad taste in my mouth...

(Seen in supermarket, this afternoon.)

"Look. What I say to you is this..."

*Ugh*, I could hear his voice in my head when I read that... *shudder*

BTW, above pic was taken Saturday 4 October, last year, at 5.00PM. If memory serves, we were seated in the Angus Inn restaurant.

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...

Jeez, its Trumpian!!

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

That may be a possibility, indeed...

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.

www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

Well, he's ✌️laser-focused✌️ on something...

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.
