NK troops are there in full compliance of international law.

It’s just unlucky that nobody will see it as anything other than an extension of Russia’s illegal campaign against Ukraine.

Should that be Kohoku ward, not Kohaku ward?

Moderator: Thanks for pointing that out.

Nowt wrong with a bit of outside help bruv.

There is if the sole reason you can’t do it yourself is your continued invasion of foreign territories.

They are there to help mop up and encircle the Ukrainians in Kursk which is Russian territory.

The Russians could do it themselves if they weren’t invading Ukrainian territory.

Worth mentioning here that, although Georgian Dream does appear to have won, they still didn't get as many seats as the last election. People are waking up, but it's slow.

Georgians don't want war with Russia and voted for peace.

Sad that the outcome of an election will determine whether Russia attacks or not.

Yes, I would like to see Russia invite NATO forces.

Very unlucky for Japan. They were the better team, just a few mistakes cost them goals.

Nah. Their last few games have shown them starting well... against both Fiji and NZ extremely well... but they simply can't keep the momentum going. They've got a huge amount of work to do if they're going to have any hope in '27. The only reason there wasn't another 20 points on top of the margin was because the ABs didn't really turn up for most of the game. That's not to take anything away from how well the Blossoms played in the first half... I absolutely think they were the better team in the first 30.

The All Blacks them, with that kind of play, will have problems facing England France and Ireland !

Totally. Gonna be some northern hemisphere fans here really sticking it to the ABs fans I reckon.

That first 30 minutes Japan was the better team. The ABs looked messy and had they continued playing like they were then Japan would have come a lot closer to winning in the end. Japan also needs to up their game for the entirety of the match to have any real chance of beating the top teams.

The All Blacks really need to get things together for their northern tour.

Isn’t it strange that NK soldiers are on and inside Russian territory defending Russia from foreign invasion?

Not really strange, unless you believe that things really are going wonderfully for the Russians.

The current leadership of Japan is a stagnant force. There are a lot of people that know change is needed but who are unwilling to change the status quo for fear of the unknown effects on their businesses and personal situations. I have a feeling nothing is going to change this weekend.

@awomde - Absolutely no evidence any kind of drugs were involved. That’s pure speculation.

Still not confirmed, but latest reports have the hotel manager calling emergency services over someone smashing up their room in a drug fueled rampage.

Of course. Hence why I said “always”

It’s always hard for invaders. Russia knows this from experience.

Interesting the people that complain about American support being too much already and Ukraine not doing enough for themselves now complaining that Ukraine is actually trying to do something for itself.

No it didn't. You are misinforming.

Yes it did and no I’m not.

Plenty of NATO fanboys posted that " Russia ran out of missiles, has no tanks left so is forced to use its last museum pieces,their air force is not functioning, navy is non existnt and Russian convict rabble will scattter and run away from Crimea at the first sight of the mighty Leopards and Abrams game changers.

“I didn’t see it so it didn’t happen”

Do better.

Also, while people said some have only shovels when they attack, nobody said the Russians only have shovels, nobody said the Russians had run out of ammunition but several have said they were running low. And yes, people did say the f16s would be a game changer, but nobody said they alone would win this. People want to misinform all over the place, and you guys are excellent at it.

personally I don't recall anybody giving any such assurances on here to anyone so it sounds like you are misinforming on purpose.

Then you haven’t been around very long. It happened many times on here by Russian fanboys.

PS, Russia achieved its military objectives yet? No? Awwww....

Really? We were assured by Russian fanboys here it would be over by the winter. What happened? Were they talking about this coming one?

Sawaii is one of the few New Zealanders to win an Emmy.

She was born in NZ to Japanese parents and spent her first 10 years there. That’s cool and all, but I’m not sure even she considers herself a New Zealander.

Hiroyuki Sanada, producer of the drama who also won best lead actor at the awards, said in a tribute in the magazine that Sawai "could play any role on this earth, or in space. Period pieces or far-future films -- she is so talented that she can do anything."

She’s already done lesbian school teacher, vengeful daughter, and ambitious business woman in Monarch, Shogun, and Pachinko respectively, so I think she’s definitely got some talent.

I don't se a problem here!? If these are NOT your photos then simply BLOCK the sender and report him or her end of story.

It’s never that simple. Once something is out there, it stays out there, and can affect your life in many ways even if you can’t personally see it. Nowhere near the end of the story.

Those glasses look like they’ve got some massive blind spots.

Some dude

Yep, cash is much easier. Cashless systems could be decent, but there are just too many being used and too many stores need their own apps for point collection and coupons etc… it’s just a mess.

Regarding the health insurance and My Number being tied together, I visited the dentist a couple of months back and just used the My Number card, and it was quick and effortless. I think a lot of places have not yet gotten used to it but once they do, everybody will find it easy. There might be concern though with all that info being tied to one system.

Russia believes that the invasion of Ukraine is in order to protect its people

there were no attacks by Ukrainians on Russian soil before the invasion. The invasion has failed to make Russians safer.

Hmm maybe think about it a little more?

Clearly you haven’t.

That's idiotic nonsense, unless the "west" is really able to get in first. Russia said it would launch if it detects a massive attack

And it would be Russia starting a nuclear war. That’s what MAD is. First use practically guarantees it.

Yes nuclear war doesn't start with Russia launching tactical nukes. It starts when its enemies launch nukes of their own to retaliate

so the “west” should get in first. Then it’s Russia starting a nuclear war?

Crazy nonsense

Which they’re failing to do because of their assault on Ukraine.

Deal with it.

Flares, lasers, and unprofessional maneuvers by local pilots it shall be then.
