Last night UN Ukraine was one of only four countries that refused to vote for ending the US embargo on Cuba. You know, the brutal attack on a neighbour for daring to look towards another super power? They have absolutely zero morals. None. A hypocritical, corrupt, cesspit.

I wonder if Bolsonaro had won 50.8pc of the vote would the headline read 'Brazilians love him - how Bolsonaro ran away with election'. Btw that too would be misleading nonsense.

The amount of journalists who tried to humiliate me for standing up to lockdowns and their obvious consequences, that are now at WebSummit preaching morality having never once recognised their ruination of tens of millions is... 2022.

Question I've been mulling over all night and day.

If a priest preaching his beliefs to a tiny few is offensive and he is told to stop and apologise, aren't the views of those preaching at him just the same to him and his church?

Can't they just ignore each other and co-exist?

How come countries performing small time weapons tests in and around their own territory are 'provocative', but the US performing high-tech massive co-ordinations on the other side of the world are 'defensive manoeuvres'?

At such moments, I wish for calm populace not all in on propaganda and war, with no clue of facts, who don't realise how close we all are.

Please spare me your 'but Russia' nonsense.

We can argue around rights and wrongs of Ukraine, but west have to agree with Russia on this.

Demands won't happen to that level but he's bloody trying to make life better. Consider amount of shite talk from journalists over Kerry priest and reactionary nonsense. How many have walked two minutes from offices to talk to him and give his doing something positive coverage?

It's these lads I feel sorry for. They must wake up at times wondering why their notifications are filled with the abuse, hate and threats that were meant for me.
🤣🤣🤣

I've been accused of working for both the KGB and the CIA today and it's only lunch. I hope they don't find out about the other.

Amazing the lengths people go to when it's shown their simplistic narratives isn't actually real.

If you're against war crimes , this is why Ukraine cannot be let have its east back. Government ministers and army battalions openly calling for and killing anyone they disagree with (including those starving who took bread). UN needed, not Kiev or Moscow. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

How backwards is US voting? Don't care what side you are on, it's nuts. Is it so difficult for the 'leader of the free world' to have people register, show up to the polls with a valid ID, punch a hole correctly in a ticket, and if done wrong the ballot is invalid. It's not hard.

Joe Biden's foreign policy so far has been all-in on war in Ukraine, a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, stoking tensions with China, stoking tensions with North Korea, stoking tensions with Russia, and lumping brutal hardship on the EU.

And he's not even halfway there!

Fmr. Obama official Charles Kupchan calls for a peace deal based on Ukraine pledging not to join NATO and giving up Crimea and pro-Russian areas of the Donbas. (Had Ukraine been willing to implement the Minsk Accords, it would have kept all of Donbas). nytimes.com/2022/11/02/opi…

Imagine taking this, imagine posting this, imagine thousands of people replying to it laughing and celebrating.

Even at the height of The Troubles, most were horrified by the notion of death alone. I'm sorry but these people are sub-human animals.

Great irony around those making the Kerry priest 'a thing' is they've shown themselves up to be greatest zealots of all.

They've make demands around what you can say, what you can think, what you can believe, who you can see, where you can go, to far greater societal detriment.
