"New Zealand has a really high guns per head of population" is a statement you made, on a thread about a mass shooting in, wait for it, THE USA. The guns per head in the USA is 5x that in New Zealand. Exactly what is your fucking point, other than being wrong?

New Zealand has only ~20% of the guns per head of population, compared to the US and more closely comparable to countries like Finland, Switzerland, France, and Germany. USA has 120 civilian guns per 100 persons, NZ it's 26.

You cannot negotiate away what was never yours.
Ukraine isn’t a bargaining chip.
Not a “deal.”
Not a territory to be traded.
It’s a sovereign nation fighting for its people, its future, and its freedom.

What's unanimous consent within the EU got to do with defence? People need to understand that EU is a trading cooperative and stop thinking it is a defence alliance.

Well, I don't see a rifle, so I think you worked it out. Must be the modern warfare version. "Look Ivan, you don't need a rifle, they are useless against drones, just take the vodka and walk into the kill zone. Next!"

Trump is both lazy and chaotic. He never knew what was in the peace plan, I even argued on social media that this was the case, and then Trump said so. Good article.
