I will not be visiting this forum again until the war is over, one way or another, My opinion of some of the statements made just reinforces my belief that anybody that was in the British or American Armed Forces during the cold war with the Soviet Union is so brainwashed with hatred for Russia that...

Are they New Zealanders or AoTeaRoan"s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Vladimir_Putin How anybody can deduce that President Putin is a nasty Dictator starting wars of his own volition just for no reason at all is puzzling. This war in Ukraine has been planned for many years, for reasons that are very easy to establish,...

1, I have heard it suggested perhaps the Pentagon or maybe London, would be a good strategic targets, Tactical targets keep changing. This war would have been over long ago, and many lives would have been saved if these countries did not keep supplying more and more sophisticated weaponry, troop tra...

""reality must be a daily threat to your little world."" Not such a little world. 15,000 hrs in logbook, rated 1,2,3,4 engine aircraft. some 2,000hrs Single Pilot IFR. Some 3,000 miles single handed ocean racing, 25,000 total ocean miles in my 10 mtr boat, mostly solo. Reality is what one faced all ...

I say again, and I would have no doubt that Ambassador Burns would have a far greater grasp on the facts of the situation than anyone in this forum. This conflict could have been so easily avoided. In 2008, Burns, then the American ambassador to Moscow, wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: ...

Your argument that this war was not provoked, but is merely a Russian expansionist move, is not shared by many people in the world. And if Putin is as an evil person as you insist then someone would have taken him out by now. How many other politicians have been in power for 20 some years? He has be...

Why should that bother me, what you can predict is of little concern, you seem to treat this disaster, many thousands of young lives lost, as a ball game. We won this lot, they lost that lot. And it would appear you would want the Russians to be put in a position where the only way out is using nucl...

No, not all, but certainly Biden. He fits your description of a corrupt idiot. Who is the boss of NATO? Is Ukraine a member of NATO? NO!! why are they there?? Because Biden told them to be. Simple as that.

BM, Finally had the time to watch the Neil Olliver clip to the end. It covers a lot of ground. What got me was the piece about the Bidens influence in Ukraine, just after I posted the piece about the Chief Ukranian prosecutor being sacked for daring to look into Bidens dealings with Burisma gas and ...

The corruption in Ukraine, and the involvement of Joe Biden, his son, and others like Viktoria Nuland have a lot to answer for in the cause of the conflict in Ukraine, this clip of Joe boasting about getting the chief prosecutor fired for investigating Burisma Gas and Oil company that his son Hunter...

With stupidity such as this supplying longer and longer range munitions to the Ukraine military, how long before nuclear warfare is a reality. https://www.rt.com/news/580573-nuclear-war-blinken/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Email Nuclear war no worse than climate change – Blin...

""I was under the impression that most ag aircraft are single engine."" Most are, but in New Zealand there was a fleet of DC3 Dakota aircraft employed in Aerial Topdressing. A load of 5 tons per trip not unusual, They are not used anymore, the field has been taken over by a fleet of turbine powered ...

That is a very polite way of saying most maori parents of the time were very keen for their children to learn English. There was never a Maori written language, bit hard for Nga Puhi in the North Island to write a letter to the Ngai Tahu in the South Island. And even more difficult to deliver said l...

This was an Air Force crew, this type of operation would not be part of their forte. Many of the pilots engaged in this activity are ex Agricultural aviation. Operating that close to the ground. and avoiding obstacles is an everyday part of the job. I know, I carried out Ag Aviation, mostly crop spr...

Why was it that Ukraine was not accepted into the European Union?? It would appear nothing has changed. https://www.rt.com/news/580426-ukraine-aid-corruption-review/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm ""The US is struggling to keep track of billions of dollars it has sent to Kiev since Febru...

The village and i...

""Do we actually have time to fart around 'denying' climate change and portraying it as a great conspiracy theory?"" There is obviously some sort of climate change, but the dispute would appear to be what is causing said climate change. Looking to the climate change over many hundreds of years, it i...

https://www.rt.com/news/580214-thunberg-fined-climate-protest/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Email Just as well she has this climate protest going, cannot think of any other reason she would get any publicity :)) And another on the same bandwagon,. https://www.rt.com/news/58021...

Criticism of those in power would appear to be a no-no in many circles.
