"Capping an extraordinary two weeks that turned 21st century geopolitics upside down, Iran and China finally signed their 25-year strategic deal this past Saturday in Tehran.
The timing could not have been more spectacular, following what we examined in three previous columns: the virtual Quad and the 2+2 #US-China summit in #Alaska; the Lavrov-Wang Yi strategic partnership meeting in Guilin; and the NATO summit of Foreign Ministers in Brussels – key steps unveiling the birth of a new #paradigm in #international #relations."
It is not an exaggeration to say that in the mythology of the #AngloZionist #Empire Putin is something akin to Satan or, at least, that he is a kind of “Sauron” who is the epitome of evil. And, we all heard that recently, #Biden, in a recorded interview, declared that #Putin is “a #killer”. When given a chance to soften this statement Jen Psaki did no such thing. We can, therefore, conclude that this was an official, deliberately planned, characterization of the Russian leader.
This kind of language was never used by western officials during the #Cold #War, at least not on the top levels. So why this seething hatred for Putin?
It is not because he is ex-PGU KGB SSSR. Yuri Andropov was a former KGB Chairman, and he did a lot to strengthen the KGB, its personnel and operations. Yet nobody called him a killer. Neither is this because of Crimea or the Donbass, at least not directly, because when the USSR invaded Czechoslovakia and, before that, Hungary, western politicians did not call Khrushchev or Brezhnev “killers”. It is not because of the shooting down of MH-17 (western leaders all know that these are lies created by western special services), because there have been quite a few civilian airliners shot down by various states, but that did not result in the kind of total demonization of the leaders of these states. I could go on and on, but you get the point: even if we carefully parse all the accusations against Putin, we find out that the kind of total demonization he has been the subject of is quite unique in its intensity and scope."
of my countryfolk who could be bothered doing the 2016 Census /and/ responding to the "Religion" bit, only 52% claimed to be Christian. The next most reported "Religion" was "Nope. Nuh-uh. None. Nooo." but more succinctly put. Factor in those who claimed a religion bc they were signed up for at birth, but not actually practising just hedging their bets and ...we're not all that Christ-y a country. Next Census is due in August of this year. But maybe shop workers deserve a holiday too, which is fair enough. We should keep the holiday (4-5 day weekend) but throw in a few more in honour of atheism/disinterest.
@Clarice Boomshakalaka Bouvier after all, if Jesus really cared, you'd have been living happily back on the farm in Ireland, which would not be infested with British soldiers...
@BR 549 ☎ hexactly! (bits of me, anyway) and Jesus was quite into wine and alcoholic libation or so the story goes. We get to honour one of the most destructive and ruinous of vermin in a couple of days, too - not chickens, wabbits. (wabbits that lay eggs? hmm...whelp, there goes Biology out the window)
we do have a bilby 😁 but mostly that vermit rabbit. Bilbies dont lay eggs either. In the rabbit's defence,though: who would want to eat a cute little bilby?! Boo!
mnnnyeah and then there's mixo and the Calicii virus(although more wbbits are infectedby mix than calici - you can see why we giggled at "Kahleesi" in GoT). OC we still go rabbiting (shooting/trapping) but they generally arent worth eating any more -most if not all of the kill will be suffering infection. i'm sure there are rabbit farms though bc that's just a brilliant idea and wot got us into this situation in the first place XD
indeed, but no. it made things worse. a lot of things we import seem to do that (looking at you, Ruby Princess!), Farmers used to lose their land if they didnt address the rabbit problem (maybe they still do, i dont know, but most have a continuing battle with the wascally fluffywuffs). so we have poisoning, mixo, calici, trapping and shooting and still the wabbits are quite a problem. oh yeah - we brought foxes in to deal with the rabbits and, well..hahaha thunk
we killed most of the dingo XD of course we did, of course we did. if the most rampageous predator on the planet (humans) cant wipe them out, i dont think the poor ole dingo has much of a chance at it either.
@DavïÐ Låzårµ§fences (which proved to be quite ineffective) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit-p… (article also mentions the introduction of camels to the region XD offs). The movie was filmed in anumber of locations, including NSW and South Australia It's great in its own right but only loosely follows the real story - but is wonderful, nonetheless. @Peter Oram aha! and thankyou 😀 gaddam vermin they be, aye.
>sell it to each other yay, even more backups i don't have to pay for >test how much you're willing to pay ever seen bandwidth/retrieval costs for the cloud things regular companies back up to?
