In times of peace, sons bury their fallen fathers. In times of war, who bury whom? Stop the madness.

Ahead of the 2026 election, polling of 1,000 New Zealanders shows voters still trust Labour Party on cost of living, health, housing, jobs, education, debt and inequality. National Party leads on crime, defence and economic confidence, while Green Party dominates climate and water. Te Pāti Māori leads Māori issues. The contest hinges on inflation, hospitals, housing, crime, and growth—plus credibility to deliver. #nz #NZPolitics #richiesway #richies #johnmalism

A recent New York Editorial claims Thailand violated international law during its border conflict with Cambodia. It states that Thailand’s military actions—including F‑16 airstrikes, use of cluster munitions, and refusal of peaceful negotiations—were disproportionate and breached legal norms protecting civilians and territorial sovereignty. The editorial argues that escalating the clash, temporarily occupying contested areas, and ignoring UN-mediated solutions undermined obligations under the UN Charter and international humanitarian law. Even if Cambodia’s actions triggered the tensions, Thailand’s response exceeded legal and ethical limits. #khmersiamwar #nyeditorial thenyeditorial.github.io/Tha…

I will never give up my European conviction.

New Zealand’s decision not to join President Trump’s proposed “board of peace” is a significant statement of independence on the global stage. The Government says the move protects our long-standing foreign policy principles — multilateral cooperation, respect for international law, and freedom from ad-hoc power blocs. It also reflects a wider global tension between personality-driven diplomacy and rules-based order. For New Zealand, the message is clear: meaningful peace comes through credible institutions, UN reform, and shared accountability — not pressure or politics. #NZPolitics #ForeignPolicy #IndependentNZ #GlobalAffairs #WorldPolitics #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #NZGovernment #LeadershipMatters #GlobalAwareness #Diplomacy #RulesBasedOrder #PacificNation

If you’re not at the table, you become the menu.

Board of Peace on the big move to replicate what’s best practice in public management around the world! The big question here would be who’s allowed this private initiative!? 🤔💭

This is something that shakes the UN to its core. So now what’s next?

President Trump says he will impose 10% tariffs on countries beginning February 1, including Denmark, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom over their opposition to the United States seizing Greenland. 🤔😂

Thai people should study their own history more honestly. In the age of instant information, ignorance is rarely accidental—sometimes it is a choice. History clearly shows that Thai ancestry originates from Tai ethnic groups in southern China. #Khmersiam #Thailand #Cambodia

Vietnam has overtaken Malaysia on wages yet factories keep moving there. This isn’t about cheap labour anymore. It’s productivity, scale & policy.
