I pictured you as Captain on this - Pirate boat of Picton
Haha I was going to post that story... humanity always finds a way no matter what fascist collusion exists between corporate business and state agencies.
Of note that boat has a tarp on side that is part of an old truck curtain from a nationwide company that’s was well known for “ getting the job done” shall we say.....
No of it was me I’d go all in a charter a decent size vessel and bill it to Kāinga ora/WINZ, claim it’s latest in Jacindas addiction services program. It would be staffed by strippers to meet equal opportunities employment legislation, crooks on return to work program would man the ships operational needs. When your out in a seven metre swell you want someone who knows how to start an engine in dark without a key.
Winston would be onboard as the maître de of entertainment venues and making sure the pokie machines are all working, gotta keep the guest entertained.
David Seymour would be running the dance shows, David Bain would be delivering morning newspapers to rooms.
Scott Watson be running the water taxi to make sure people get on and off the boat safely.

Well with all the gaslighting and fake news I tend not to follow mainstream
News headlines too much.... but your right its on....
Putin is not f($;ing about either... detonating a thermobaric weapon just outside city to prompt people to leave.... FYI a thermobaric weapon is a large fireball thats sucks all nearby oxygen out of the air. A terrifying way too die if detonated over a city and Russian said have shown before civilians casualties are no concern....
Some sane commentary here on how this likely plays out...

This could explain your claim of fire bombing.

On a side note. Despite the swirl of reporting on teh internets I'm really surprised their is absolutely no reporting of front line actions, artillery or armour engagements.
No reports from the Red Cross or other aid organisations listing casualties beyond what has officially been released by the Ukrainian gummint. Ukrainian forces are said to be 160'000 strong with heavy armour and artillery divisions. Russia seems to have reached Kiev almost unopposed.
Ukrainian civilians fleeing conflict areas seem to have no problem vlogging their plight but nothing of note is popping up from within conflict areas.
This is a bit weird.
So is Imran Khans visit to have a chat with Putin in the midst of the invasion.

Well apparently the Russians are doing the cyber attack thing so it wouldnt take much to selectively divert or filter Comms channels much the same way FB andxtwitter shadow ban people to close to revealing truth....
They might be reverse engineering the USA style embedded reporters.... communists are excellent at infiltrating and perhaps all the independent journos are actually kgb....
Despite some of the good work they do the Red Cross is a dubious organisation, a quick google will lead down manyvrabbit holes.....

Just had a squizz around teh internets and things are heating up.
Still not the armour and artillery which was anticipated. From either side.
Seems the UN has truly had it's day.
Manopausal.
The UN was never going to do anything ,as its only takes one of the security council (ie Russa)to veto intervention or even a denunciation.
The USA has used this vto before as well (well pretty sure they did with Iraq)
No superpower is going to step in against another superpower if both have nukes it a no-win all lose.
If they Nato or the US or anyone really wanted to protect the Ukraine, they would have given them nukes to protect themselves which would have assured Russia it would lose also
The same will happen eventually with Taiwan and any other place China decides it wants.
No sanction are going to be effective as they will be able to rape Ukraine and its people assets any sanctions will hurt the poor more than the oligarchy.
The only way of stopping Putin is to go Putin a bullet in his noggin.

Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
A Turkish flagged bulk ship has received a rocket/missile strike on top hatch. That could complicate things....
Putin is smart he has learned from his own forces and American previous mistakes. Putting too many ground forces in early without securing resupply lines from resistance attacks would be foolish when there is a well armed populace capable of armed resistance.
You can see his goal is to force a refugee crisis on neighbouring countries (thanks George Soros for that lesson) which leaves only true believers behind in Ukraine that will be loyal to a new regime. The bonus of that is it makes it difficult for any nato response to operate in such a crowded environment... who is a refugee and who is a potential armed separatist?
So all he needs to do is shock and awe but I think heavy gear is rolling in to properly secure airports and other infrastructure its just that the pics arent getting out.

Yes, The first time I read P J O'Rourke's bio I thought, "This guy should be writing for Rolling Stone." The bio finished with the detail that he was then currently Foreign Affairs Editor at Rolling Stone magazine.
I had Parliament of Whores here, and had read Holidays in Hell, and Give War a Chance.
He was that very rare beast, a funny conservative writer.
