    Only the most idiotic tribalist would cheer on the economy or hospital system falling apart under a government they opposed.
    Why suddenly is it alright to cheer against our foreign policy or defence allies just because, for now, the government here and in the US are in the hands of ideological enemies?
    Does anyone believe that Donald Trump or any other Republican president didn’t do all they could do to stymie Putin’s aggression? That he would not also have provided aid to the Ukraine?

    The only 2 differences between Trump and Biden on the Ukraine is (1) that Trump predicted the Europeans would put themselves in this position if they didn’t turn away from the stupid energy policy of “economic interdependence = peace” and ween themselves off Russian energy, and (2) Biden wants his usual 10%

    If Elon buys Twitter and sets it up as he has indicated, it may be good for Free Speech.

    “Be Afraid, Be Actually Afraid”:
    Reporters Panic at the Thought of Twitter Restoring Free Speech Protections

    “Be afraid, be actually afraid.” Those words from former Politico Magazine editor Garrett M. Graff captures the hyperventilation in the media this week. No it is not Vladimir Putin’s threat of unleashing a nuclear war or the word that our national debt has reached a staggering $31 trillion. No, it is the news that Elon Musk may go forward with the purchase of Twitter and . . . [trigger warning] . . . free speech protections might be restored on the platform. The pearl-clutching of various media and academic figures shows how engrained the censorship culture has become in the United States.

    Linguistics lesson

    Woman doesn’t come from “womb man” or “wife man”

    In a recent not deleted tweet, a British politician said that the word woman comes from, “Womb man.” In concept, etymologically, that’s not dumb. Lots of words come about like that.

    All those feminazis and other wokeologists who get upset by the word “man”.

    It was used as a generic term which refers to all human beings not just the male of the species.

    It’s normal to get caught up in the progress of a war and find oneself cheering on a side, forgetting that it is young men being minced up on both sides for each small movement on a map.

    The drone warfare is interesting. It seems to me like watching the early days of the air war in WW1.
    How quickly will it develop? Will we soon see the drone fighter: a drone dedicated to knocking out enemy drones? Drone squadrons, drone swarms? Development should be rapid and lethal for infantry.

    Australia should be focussed on the problems in its own region. If we have spare funds and weapons, help the Pacific island nations because their stability keeps this region safe.

    If the Pacific islands are dependent on other nations, it is better for them to opt for countries like Australia/NZ than go to China.

    French General Pays Tribute to the Unvaccinated:
    ‘They Embody the Best of Humanity, They Are Superheroes’

    In a powerful letter making waves across Europe, French General Christian Blanchon praised citizens who refused the experimental Covid “vaccines”

    Posting the complete letter here.

    Even if I were fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for standing up to the greatest pressure I have ever seen, including from spouses, parents, children, friends, colleagues, and doctors.

    People who have been capable of such personality, courage, and such critical ability undoubtedly embody the best of humanity.

    They are found everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, countries, and opinions.

    They are of a particular kind; these are the soldiers that any army of light wishes to have in its ranks.

    They are the parents that every child wishes to have and the children that every parent dreams of having.

    They are beings above the average of their societies; they are the essence of the peoples who have built all cultures and conquered horizons.

    They are there, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.

    They did what others could not do; they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination, and social exclusion.

    And they did it because they thought they were alone and believed they were alone.

    Excluded from their families’ Christmas tables, they have never seen anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, and had no more money… but they didn’t care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciations, betrayals, and humiliation… but they continued.

    Never before in humanity has there been such a casting; we now know who the resisters are on planet Earth.

    Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races and all religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen ones of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything fell apart. Collapsed.

    You’ve passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest marines, commandos, green berets, astronauts, and geniuses couldn’t pass.

    You are made of the stuff of the greatest that ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who shine in the dark.”
