The whole notion of ‘if you [Ukraine] negotiate a peace deal with Russia, we [the U.S.A] will stop sending you military aid,’ is insane, because why would they need more armaments if they negotiate peace. Cutting off military aid would give Russia more leverage in the peace negotiations; why is this not obvious?!
The World in Union by Kiri Te Kanawa
It’s ironic that this is the anthem for a violent sport (rugby). This song gives Imagine a run for its money as a potential anthem for the World Socialist Movement.

‘The Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons has resigned after inviting a Ukrainian man who fought for a Nazi unit to parliament and praising him.’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66930482
“You pick some random ‘Ukrainian hero’ to cheer in parliament and he turns out to be a real-life Nazi. What are the chances!
“It almost makes it look like all those ‘Putin apologists’ claiming Ukraine has a Nazi problem (including the entire Western media until 2022) have a point.” – Jonathan Cook
“It’s a funny kind of month, October. For the really keen cricket fan, it’s when you discover that your wife left you in May.” – Denis Norden
“Cricket is a game which the British, not being a spiritual people, had to invent in order to have some concept of eternity.” – Lord Mancroft, 1967
Here’s something more upbeat: Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
(It’s used in Vietnam War films a lot)
The lyrics, provided by A-Z Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/creedenceclearwaterrevival/fortunateson.html
So, let me get this straight. If I were to write down a song’s lyrics while listening to it on a CD, I would be breaking the law?
And the lyric website: ‘A-Z Lyrics’, pays royalties for EACH of the THOUSANDS of songs it has published?
Young Master Smeet, copyright for lyrics doesn’t apply to sharing them online. Lyrics are freely available to view on many lyric websites. I copied & pasted the lyrics for the two songs above from Google.
Would you please re-amend my two posts?

The Ukrainians are attempting to defend their homeland in much the same way most people would attempt to defend their homes (and loved ones) against an intruder.
WORKERS HAVE NO COUNTY. COUNTRIES SERVE THE CAPITALIST CLASS. Workers defending ‘their’ country is like slaves defending ‘their’ plantation. The best way people can defend their loved ones (from the evils of capitalism, including war) is to advocate then organise for socialism.
You keep telling us we’re wrong, Lizzie, but you don’t offer any constructive criticism.
“Most of their wages comes from advertisers, not from gates (so, in a big way, we are part of the product, working for free, ourselves).”
Indeed. I read in a history book that in the 1930’s, premiership footballers were paid (adjusted for inflation) the same wages as skilled factory workers.
