The United States is potentially withdrawing from Ukraine. If that happens, it will end up like Afghanistan. Fighting dictatorship is the new fighting terror.

There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America's 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I'm so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.

The only acceptable position regarding Ukraine, is to pull the wool over New Zealanders' eyes. Russian aggression, blah blah, precision missile strikes on playgrounds and children's hospitals, brutal, unprovoked war. Blah blah. Now Rubio says that the US will pull out of Ukraine within a matter of days.

Wait, is this the guy that got caught making minor wording edits to articles about Russia’s war on Ukraine to make them more Russia friendly?

All the articles in New Zealand media are already too pro-Ukraine. Last month The Press had two pro-Ukraine articles, one by the Ukrainian ambassador, and another by Kate Turska (Mahi For Ukraine). According to RNZ, talking about colour-revolutions is pro-Russian. I call it pro-reality. The CIA and USAID are always up to no good in former soviet states.

 

Analysis: China has been accused of being provocative by sending warships into the Tasman Sea, but on the other hand, New Zealand plays its part in US moves that provoke Beijing.

I admit there has been good coverage of these issues in our media lately, but I'm still concerned that the media and government will stab us in the back, increase military funding, and bring up the idea of a draft. After seeing Ukrainian men beaten and thrown into vans to be taken to their deaths, I'm not enthusiastic about NZ becoming the Ukraine of the Pacific.
