Soldier

To that of the unknown
Or is it just meal snacks and meal bars
Warriors we're talking about
Does it make them crazy - insane
Or is it what occurs
Does it do them in?
The carnage, the angel of darkness
Predicaments, predictions and courage
A trinity of hope
A nice kid they said - so innocent
And who's that now, kia kaha
Impossible situations
Is that, what its at?
But meal sticks and meal bars

- Lena Fielding, September 17th 1999

COMMENT

Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Trump’s Tariff Wars

Trump being Trump, it won’t come as a shock to find that he regards a strong USD as a sign of America’s virility, and ability to kick sand in the face of the world.

Richard S. Ehrlich: Israel, Hostages, Thailand & Jobs

Thailand was involved in delicate diplomatic efforts to gain their freedom, 'so it does not want to create any problems that will cause any misunderstanding among parties involved in the conflict,' then-Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said.

Binoy Kampmark: Trump, Tariffs And Russia - A Very Muddled Policy

The broader lesson here is that economic weapons that seek to strangle, coerce and direct a nation state into action are blunt, inconsistent in their application and often counterproductive. The most telling response from the target state is adapting and adjusting to disruption, and Russia shows better signs than most in doing so.

Gordon Campbell: DeepSeek, And China’s Inexorable Rise

The week’s big story has been about China’s DeepSeek low-cost AI model and Nvidia losing $600B of its value.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: History Is Not A Game

There is an inverse relationship between the upward spiral of science and technology and the downward spiral of human civilisation and consciousness. Is history just a quickening repetition on the same themes of human ignorance?

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - ACT Looks Backwards

The debate about privatising state assets has reared its head again, with calls by the ACT leader for the government to sell off more assets to help balance its books and the Prime Minister’s now typical vaguely ambiguous, non-committal response.
