> we are lucky enough in Australia to live in peace and stability.

We sure are. And that's why I think everyone deserves it, including my Ukrainian mates. I don't think my responsibility to humanity ends at the shores of my country.

Y'know, because I'm not a glorified cockstain like some.

Nice goal post shift though. Now that you've realised you made a tit of yourself.

The AFU only wants combat experienced troops. The only way I'd be able to fight would be via joining a militia, which would run afoul of the foreign fighter laws.

It's like explaining why the sky is blue to a goddamned toddler.

E2A: https://www.perthilj.com/blog/the-legality-of-australians-fighting-in-foreign-conflicts > under s 119.1 of the Act, a person commits an offence if they enter into a foreign country with the intention of engaging in a hostile activity in that country or any other foreign country [14]. A person will also commit an offence if they engage in hostile activities in a foreign country [15]. However, liability under s 119.1 will not apply to an act done by a person “in the course of, and as part of, the person’s service in any capacity in or with ... the armed forces of the government of a foreign country”

> Very little is stopping you.

The AFU doesn't want volunteers with no combat experience. If Australia deploys troops, I'll have a chance to go. Without that, I have no ability to do so and still be able to return home either, because of the foreign fighter laws.

So yeah, there are things stopping me.

"This guys willing to fight in a war, he mustn't be willing to die for the war!"

Reading is hard.

Fuck me, you really are a tool.

Every war is settled at the negotiation table, when one side is pushed to the point of breaking.

Ukraine hasn't come close to breaking yet, why would they negotiate? They've got objectives to complete, and they're doing it.

If needs be, I'll join in the family tradition of heading to Europe to fight fascists.

Vatniks tend to have an inflated sense of Russias might. Check the dudes post history. It's a wild ride.

Then we send more, and we send better. Ukraine and the west aren't the ones in the wrong, why the hell should we roll over?

How do you expect Ukraine to defend their lives and their territories without them?

Seppo detected.

Guilds weren't that large. I highly doubt you had enough players who could afford to drop that sort of money to mail "hundreds of hams a day" to an individual.

Probably should have gotten some education before condemning them to death then.

Does it try to make her out to be a force for good?

Edit: Downvote me if you want, but she introduced diseases that have rapidly accelerated the death rates of those chimps, increased the aggression between the different groups of chimps, and increased the level of conflict between the chimps and the locals by just being a huge pain in the arse to them.

Well, because the people who would agree are all twats.

Don't forget that the Americans had a Shakespeare based animal society that introduced a lot of stupid things like starlings to North America that now devastate regions.

Australia: Where the ads are as odd as the people.

No cane toad golf either.

Yeah, it's wild in a few states how lacking the feral/invasive control is.

WA had foxes just roaming through my suburb in Perth, you'd call the council and they were like "and?"

"and they're eating all the fucking turtle eggs you wankers are spending my tax dollars trying to protect, fucking shoot them"

I found it wild when I moved to WA and people just didn't give a shit. They were like "oh look at that cute little wild rabbit!"

"uhhh you mean terrible invasive species we should want to kill on sight, right?"

"... You monster!"

A state of boganity.

You can't even own rabbits in my state of Australia.

It's possible that not all the minks escaped, so they have to count what's remaining to work out how many got out.

One of my favourites was "Life of a Cell" (? I think that was the title anyway) narrated by David Tennant. An incredible look at the hugely complex things your body does to remain alive.
