Trump continues to mislead (of course) and gaslight on this issue. The only way that this war wouldn’t have happened under Trump, is that he would have forced Ukraine to hand over rule to Putin, as he is attempting to do now. Ukraine has been fighting for 11 years and I’m sure will continue to do so

VP J.D. Vance says the U.S. will walk away from mediating if Ukraine doesn’t say yes—adding both Ukraine and Russia must “compromise” on territory. Let’s be clear: Ukraine ‘must’ do exactly nothing. Its borders aren’t up for negotiation—especially not by clowns chasing headlines.

This… this explains a lot. These guys have spent years debunking this sad little man and his bullshit, going back to his grandstanding around the Thai cave rescue and his bizarre attempt to “insert” himself into the story. Alarm bells have been ringing for years. youtu.be/zeRjVH66vdQ?...

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605... David Seymour announced ideas we already knew were in the works... privatisation. The public sector has been decimated - paving the way for said idea. #NzPol #Caricature #DavidSeymour #Cartoon #SellOff

As much as the Nats might want to dispute it the numbers are pretty clear that NZ came out of the pandemic, at absolute worst, no worse off than Canada, Aus & the UK. The comparison must therefore be due to policies since then. For which the govt at the very least must share responsibility.

So less than 24 hours after Nicola Willis “delivered” her plan for new ferries with no costs & no ship builder Winston Peters has cancelled all that and says we’re back at “day 1”. When Christopher Luxon works out who is in charge in his govt can he let the rest of us know?
