I see some Russian media are reporting that pope Francis called with congratulations for putin ... can be bullshit of course, as everything the Russian media reports, wouldn't surprise me if true though.

The text protects the right to women to abortion, and states that the law defines the conditions under which they have access to that eight. Today, it is 14 weeks in France. So it could be reduced to say 0.1 week by law, in theory at least? And citizens didn't get a say, ftaod. The citizens have to...

Surprised that there aren't more news headlines focusing on Mark Rutte being the next-in-line to take over NATO leadership from Stoltenberg. He's now been endorsed by the US, UK and Germany Rutte's government was ridden with scandals throughout. The Netherlands has failed to hit the 2% NATO target ...

Sorry man but that is not accurate. I can't say about all former soviet block countries but at least in the case of Poland that's plain wrong. The first day after we regained our independence from Russia was the day when joining NATO and the EU was the absolute top priority of all political forces ...

I was listening to experts who were pointing out that NATO expansion was not so much driven by the USA than by the UK. They were highlighting that the UK strategy was to push for the emancipation of the former soviet satellites and republics with a view to bring them into NATO and the EU, and rely ...

So the Senate passes the aid package but we'll have to see how it goes in the House. On the good news front Sholz has promised to spend a full 2% of GDP on defence this yea r which must have ramifications. Trump will claim credit for that. A little threat in the media and Germany complies. He defin...

There been a fair bit of talk recently along the lines of what Tendar is saying below. Hyperbole or real as in a good chance? We are currently in a pre-stage of a world war. I compare it to the period between 1936-1939. The civil war in Spain is raging and it is unclear who will win, but Italy and ...

Thanks guys. Some good advice. I should have probably said that i was looking for recent movies. missus is a big fan of the movie genres I mentioned, so anything good that is older than a couple of years - chances are she has seen it. So Arrival, LOtR etc... would all fall under that. Having said th...

So it seems I'm spending new years eve at home. Can anyone of you offer some advice on a good movie to watch? Horror, fantasy or sci-fi would work best with the missus. Oh - and nothing that is in cinema at the moment obviously. It should be available on one of the streaming services. Please help me...

So do you believe everything that Boris, Trump and their aides say? BTW Duda is from the party that put the judiciary and media under direct control of itself. Do you think he is objective about the actions of someone trying to unshackle them? Of course not and i am pretty sure i indicated Duda was...

Japanese long term goals to take back Sakhalin and the Kuril islands? Sakhalin no, Kurils yes. From what Japan has stated. Depending more on the status of the rest of Asia though. That’s more the point here. As important as the ramp up in defense spending has been in Japan though is the amount of i...

Imagine my shock to see EDF blasting out right wing talking points.

Nah I don't share the same sentiment. I'm still enjoying rugby. There have been lots of great games in the rugby world cup. I do agree World rugby needs to sort out cards and TMO interventions. I imagine It's a bit different when you have a team to support that's playing at the top (or thereabouts ...

Nothing really. I think I'm done with rugby to be honest. My interest has been declining steadily every year since 5-6 years. I was hoping the RWC would somehow rekindle it. Instead it was just the final nail. There is only so many times one can get excited watching the ABs play the Boks or Ireland...

Who gets the guaranteed host slot if there are three hosts? My guess it's that it's actually an Italian bid with some games in Spain/Portugal thrown in to make the bid a bit more attractive. So Italy only I think. Spain would find a way to get themselves disqualified anyway, so im not sure it matte...

Because someone might think it's racist?

Well that was intense, England paid the price in the end for showing nothing in attack. Brainless moments: Steward doing an up and under that went 10m, knockon = scrum = penalty Kicking at the end to give them the chance to mark and set a scrum, should've been putting the ball out to kill time and ...

Not all that important. Being anti-Russia is the single most powerful unifying force in Polish politics. Ther might be some realignment though - I.e we will look more at coordinating with western allies instead of acting on our own

Scotland shafted by the draw. I think they would have qualified from Group C or D. There is a big big gap between (1) Ireland, South Africa and (2) Scotland It is a disgrace that 2 of the QF are France v South Africa and Ireland v New Zealand. Best 4 teams by a country mile.

Play the A team. They have played fudge all rugby as a unit. Many of them one game in 3 weeks and they only have 0-3 weeks of games remaining after this. If they can't cope with that workload, then they shouldn't be there. They need to have their combinations right going into the QF - not chopping ...

Italy still a chance, just have to beat France by about 190 odd points and they'll push us out. Not really - If that happens then France are out not NZ.
