Just a reminder to y'all reading Aussie political posts that the Liberal party here is the GOP/ Tories and is coloured BLUE 🔵 and Labor is Left and is coloured RED. ❤️

There is reason we are down under in Opposite Land.

Alan Kohler (Business journalist @ ABC News) just said on 3LO "Triple Zero" should never have been privatised.

I said this when PM Howard (LNP) privatised Telecom (which he rebranded Telstra) in 1997 that this would happen.

I was only a young reporter but I was already "into communications" 1/

Don’t know who needs to hear this, but Russian Navy KILO class submarines transiting to/from Mediterranean on the surface are routine. NATO of course watches them closely, as in this photo.

Russia does have increasing difficulty maintaining a presence in Med but this in itself isn’t a big deal

The Battle of Hastings was fought on 14 October 1066 between the Norman-French army of William, the Duke of Normandy, and an English army under the Saxon King Harold Godwinson, beginning the Norman conquest of England.

Normans! Not even once! 🤨😤

Both the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal and the 9K720 Iskander missiles are capable of carrying nuclear warheads, so I don't see the problem with the Tomahawks. The Orcs have been shooting these at Ukraine for ages, so STFU, Medvedev, you drunken POS 💩

Given the negative feedback coming out of the US Army over their new M7 SIG Sauer rifle in 6.8mm, let's hope a sensible decision is made here.

More video of Afghan forces attacking Pakistani border guard facilities. There are reports they are advancing. Probably not for long but they have the momentum of surprise right now. It will probably all be over when enough "saving face" is accomplished so both sides can claim victory.

Russia lost 17,000 tanks in three years. Only 2,478 remain in storage—nearly all badly rusted and needing expensive restoration before they can fight.

The timing? Russia just shifted back to tank warfare after 282,000 infantry casualties.

Russia’s last 2,500 tanks are in very sorry shape

Russia's oldest tanks—some 50+ years old—are all that stand between Moscow and forced mobilization

Major defence firm Rheinmetall announced the launch of Project MARTE (Main Armoured Tank of Europe). This, the firm says, will be a cutting-edge and highly promising initiative.

This multinational project will see input from 51 legal entities from 12 European Countries!

Vinalia: October 11th

During this Roman festival, the season's new wines were tested to make sure they were ageing properly.

Libations were given to Bacchus to ensure that the wine would continue to ferment properly for consumption the following year.

The painting is "Bacchante" by John Collier.
