@nobleisawinner yes, because ur beliefs allow u to lie and break oaths if its for Islam and given how is lady is dressed, u place Islam above all including loyalty to the country that hosts u
@Manuka_Kindling@NicNacNewZ Let’s keep this in perspective
Hormuz is 20% of oil. About 4% can go across land. A dribble is getting thru
So the world’s got 85% oil
County like NZ could outbid for crude & refine.. but..we let our refinery be shutdown, so Ardern could have her netzero tickertape moment🤬
Flying to Sydney. Air NZ flight attendant telling a passenger that we used to have our own oil but we stopped drilling and closed our refinery which is why we are in this pickle. Sigh.....
@Pazienza82@NicNacNewZ lol my wife and son are in Fiji atm visiting family, she extended her stay. Tried to talk her out of, told she might get stranded there for a while if things get bad.🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻
@Kiehle4Congress@hashjenni they were already going to get them. Iranian officials have even admitted they they intend to build nuclear weapons long before trump came into the picture
@hashjenni If Iran did have a nuclear weapon America would not have attacked them.
Now nuclear weapons are a security requirement for Iran.
Trump fucked us all for Israel.
Can anyone explain to me why the US and Israel think they should decide who can’t have nuclear weapons?!
At this point I think all countries should have them or NO countries should have them.
@NZNationalParty stop with this "what the last government did" nonsense, its getting old and tired. Ur using it as an excuse to wait and see..plan for the worse and hope for the best but u need to act now
@NZNationalParty right how much debt has NZ accumulated under ur government? u didn't even need a crisis to repeat the mistakes
encourage fuel savings now, don't wait for it to get worse. Free public transport, free parkn ride carparks, try increase fuel reserves from other sources be proactv
@tauhenare The UN didn’t vote to label slavery as “genocide.”
What it passed a resolution calling the transatlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity” and pushing for reparations
Some thought other crimes were worse
Tamatha Paul defending her letter of support to a judge for a graffiti vandal/artist who caused an estimated seven figures’ worth of damage - including to Wellington City Council buildings while she was a councillor, is already wild.
But commissioning the same person to tag her campaign poster with his signature graffiti and proudly displaying it in her parliamentary office? That’s a massive “F you” to Wellington ratepayers, city councillors, and residents who visit her office.
@Faytuks take those Islands in the straight, Kharg will become irrelevant. then take the nearby mainland coastal area/create a "free Iran" zone with a new transition govt. there train\arm Iranians to liberate the rest of Iran from the IRGC..Armchair general has spoken
USS FORD 🇺🇸 spotted leaving Naval Support Activity Souda Bay in Crete, Greece 🇬🇷 YESTERDAY 👇 at

escorted by 3 patrol boats. Under propulsion, though slowish.
@GeoConfirmed
@nzpoliticsgroup Govt at the moment just reacting, $50 should be put towards things like making public transport free. Needs to start encouraging fuel conservation and try and find ways to build our reserves up beyond their current capacities
Alert: New Zealand - GOING DARK 🚨🚨🚨
IF the global energy crisis escalates, New Zealand is far from the worst country to be in—but when we reach Level 4, the situation will become difficult for many.
Many people remain blissfully unaware of the gathering storm fast approaching. On top of that, winter is closing in — bringing rain, winds, and bitter cold we’ll have to contend with.
Fortunately, New Zealanders are resilient—but many will still be pushed to their limits.
The most severe impacts will likely hit Southeast and Central Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe, where food shortages could lead to widespread famine and loss of life.
New Zealand needs to move to Level 2 next week.
Ukraine killed Putin’s plan to make billions from the Iran war.
After the Iran war lifted prices, Moscow was earning $760M/day from energy. So, Ukraine hit Russia's largest Baltic oil port — Ust-Luga, cutting into that cash flow by targeting export infrastructure, Telegraph. 1/
@MetalHedgeFella@secretsqrl123 Those interventions were humanitarian this is based on self defence.UN\SC has been ineffective in dealing with Russia/Irans and even Chinas hybrid & actual aggression. Either way its spilt milk, not in anyones interest that the US fails, NATO needs to support
@NicholasStrat12@secretsqrl123 Afghanistan was article 5
Kosovo, Bosnia, Libya, were all UN mandated operations. That's exactly why I wrote that exact post. It's not an article 5 mandate, so take it to the UN. Operations need to be lawful, and the attack against Iran is a violation of international law
Simple
@Sanjay_4M@nexta_tv someone should write to their elected government officials and highlight the plight of children in Gaza; I understand that in 2025 Gaza received some 4.41 billion in aid from various countries. Maybe some of it could be diverted to supporting its citizens
Iran recruits children for service — teenagers with weapons spotted at checkpoints
In Tehran, authorities have begun involving children as young as 12 in checkpoint duties, Al Arabiya reports.
The government launched a campaign called “For Iran” and lowered the minimum age for participation.
Teenagers are being used for patrols, intelligence gathering, and street duty.
Residents say that at some checkpoints, minors with weapons are stopping cars and giving orders.
@Schamberz1@Sara_Shah_Oaks@nzpoliticsgroup and suppress our wages and flood the job market. Only thing i liked about Aderns labour was they put a stop to the rampant immigration. But key and hoskins went on that massive we need migrants campaign
@nzpoliticsgroup What’s your opinion on Ardern’s election promise? She said she would fix child poverty if elected and she became the millionaire herself
@MetalHedgeFella@secretsqrl123 UNSC ineffective, UN a corrupt bloated joke. Yes NATO = Defsv, but can do Out of Area Operation(non art 5), think Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya
YES Trump luvs Putin, he should support Ukraine more. But who supports Russia in Ukraine? Hamas? Hezbollah? Oct 7th? Iraq - EFPs?
@NicholasStrat12@secretsqrl123 The proper forum for a joint military action against Iran would have been the UN Security Council
That's its sole purpose
If a case can't be made to the UNSC, then it has no merit and shouldn't happen
As for NATO, the USA attacks on Iran are a violation of Article 1, NATO Charter
