Australia is not giving Ukraine the military support it needs — sending our retired jets would be a start

Australia's geographic distance is no excuse for weak support to a state attempting to counter an illegal and devastating invasion. We can, and should, be doing considerably more to counter Russia's attack on Ukraine, writes James Dwyer.

I wonder if Prigozhin was offered Belarus in exchange for standing down...

Possibly. Given that mercenary captains have frequently figured out that if they're

Nah...Misha is a term of endearment and has no mocking connotations.

How about Kremlin Karl? Karl certainly has the mocking element to it (apologies to all Forum members named Karl).

One does like the alliteration. Moscow Morrie? Russia Randy? Putin Petey?

Russian citizens can, and do, own firearms.

Unlike gun owners in the USA, Russian gun owners are not known for mass shootings, school shootings etc. Yesterdays US news had a two year old killing his mother with a gun. That would not happen anywhere else but the US.

Nor does Switzerland where every military reserve member has military issued arms and ammunition in their homes so probably more guns in public hands per head of population than the US.

Unfortunately this American disease has spread to two European countries recently.

And no I am not anti gun. I have spent many happy hours hunting and culling. I support responsible gun ownership with restrictions on gun types, police and mental checks and annual renewal of licence at a gun range firing a set number of bullets from each gun.

 

[MiTasol]

To that I add that if you cant hit the target you are a danger to yourself and society and should not have a gun licence.

It does happen outside of the U.S., it just doesn't seem to be newsworthy for some reason.
