    That must be a different EU to the one totally divided over sanctions, with Germany (and France) demanding they can buy Russian oil and gas

    Boris Johnson has clarified. Something about porcupines.

    Biden is weak, and is seen as such.This was proven by the fact that the Taliban had no fear of him, which they did of Trump.
    I hate Trump, however he was a bully that his enemies feared would carry out his threats of retaliation if necessary. When the Trump administration authorised and carried out the dropping of a MOAB in Afghanistan against ISIS, it was a message to the Taliban that he would have no hesitation to drop one on them also if they stepped out of line….Biden would not have done any such thing and the Taliban knew that, therefore we had the chaotic shambles that we saw on our TV screens.

    What’s a MOAB? Something big and nasty I assume.

    Putin’s in big trouble now. He’s upset JK Rowling and she’s retaliating.

    ? When did the German army use chemical weapons? Obviously the SS used chemical weapons in the camps, but did the military in battle? I genuinely have never heard of them using gas, or anything else, in WW2 against troops or civilians. Doesn’t mean they didn’t. I might have just never have heard of it.

    Depends on the definition or understanding of the term ‘military’ I suppose.

    The Nazis did use chemical weapons in combat on several occasions along the Black Sea, notably in Sevastopol, where they used toxic smoke to force Russian resistance fighters out of caverns below the city, in violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol.] The Nazis also used asphyxiating gas in the catacombs of Odessa in November 1941, following their capture of the city, and in late May 1942 during the Battle of the Kerch Peninsula in eastern Crimea.

    Obviously not used by Hitler but what about Mustard gas the Germans used in the first World War ? Goodness knows how many died from that, horrendous stuff.

    In other news…

    China is preparing to do a deal ( bribe ) the Solomon Islands in return of them allowing China to build & house a military base and docking of their war vessels.

    How has the world body of governments allowed China to build artificial islands for military bases in the pacific, a squillion miles from China ?

    All indications for China wanting to control the pacific and Australia are laid bare to see.

    Australia being large and having vast underground minerals, fuels & gases would be ideal for China to populate.

    The writing is on the wall, whether anyone chooses to read it is another question.

    Actually, Atkins's report seems remarkably fair. Right wing politician gets 1.6% of the Ukrainian electoral vote in 2019. Jewish candidate gets over 70%. And Russia is calling Ukraine a Nazi dominated state...

    Hitchens is remarkably pro Russia, constantly telling anyone who will listen that the real threat is China. But that doesn't wash when he's speaking to Ukrainians.
