Politics is a dirty word

  Strange that Scott Morrison accuses Putin of being a bully and a thug when successive Australian Governments have eagerly joined in bullying and thuggery all over the world – including Afghanistan, Iraq, korea and Vietnam! If our Prime Minister wants to really put the frighteners on the Russian President, he should think about sending Tony Abbott to ‘shirtfront’ him! Even better, perhaps  send our ex Prime Minister to join the military fight against Russian troops.The strident tones used by the prime minister are particularly offensive to Australians who have been subjected to violence and thuggery from police at widespread peaceful protests over lockdowns and mandated covid vaccinations.

  T he hysteria surrounding Russia’s action in Ukraine is hard to understand , given the western world’s support for the US inva s ions of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and then Afghanistan. Russian military convoys have entered Ukraine’s Donbas region, w h ich Russia recognises as an independent state with a majority ethnic Russian population.
