What has Ukraine done now?

[old man emu]

The late 20th Century scifi impressions of future wars look like they have become reality. Battles fought by machines controlled by a few soldiers located far from the actual field of battle.

 

It has come to the point where one person, sitting at a desk with a communication device can destroy whole countries.

What the heck. Now you are drawing Trump and Twitter into it!

 

But if the cap fits....

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

Comrade Shoebridge is copping a bit of flak for opposing aid to Ukraine:

The dude seems to believe they can replace Labor by moving further to the left. All I can see him achieving is turning their 12% into 6%.

That's not moving to the left, it's just stupid.

Pity that Larissa went. I thought she was doing a good job.

I watched the bloke in a lengthy interview and he seems very keen but naive. This idea of moving to the left to take voters away from Labor is bordering on delusion. Logic tells you that any far left voters on the market would already be in the Greens camp. To replace Labor they would have to appeal to the centre left and centre. If the Greens want to get anywhere they have to stop dreaming, and that's what this bloke's doing. I think he'll end up being divisive in their party.

Same goes for the LNP moving to the right.

Deserting the centre won't help them.

[facthunter]

The LNP are all over the Place. If they don't watch it they will disappear.. Hanson has them spooked. Nev

[nomadpete]

Crazy. Just crazy.

It's not about just helping Ukraine, it's also about helping preserve the international rule of law and the principal that it's wrong to take someone else's country by force. I'm not sure if the peanut would understand that concept.
