Unbelievable!!! Cruelty to animals angers me no end.......

My god. Your horrific description has brought me close to tears. That poor beautiful dog. :'(
I agree. Nothing angers me more. Especially to dogs. That russian guy that poured water on his dog and left him outside in the snow to freeze to death. People like that do not deserve to live. I'd like him to receive the same treatment that guy got in 'law abiding citizen'

Pretty sweet outfit being worn in this video by a Kiwi getting around New York... wonder if there is a connection to our Marley... seems pretty odd to have a second Marley Williams from New Zealand in the royal blue and white!

When packing up to move house, the amount of things you haven’t seen for years.
I am finding boxes and boxes of stuff that was put in the roof due to a wife who thinks there was a need to fill every inch of a house with nicknacks and clothes .
I’ve been at it for three days and cannot see daylight

Vladimir Putin says Russia has developed an ‘unstoppable’ nuclear missile
The Sun, News Corp Australia Network
32 minutes ago
VLADIMIR Putin says Russia has developed an “unstoppable” nuclear cruise missile which cannot be intercepted by any antimissile system on earth.

The newly developed intercontinental ballistic rocket with “unlimited range” was one of several unveiled by the Russian leader in his state of the nation address in Moscow.

They include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a nuclear-powered underwater drone and new hypersonic missile which apparently have no equivalent.

Footage shown during his speech apparently showed the new “unstoppable” missile heading toward the United States as he promises to “neutralise” America’s missile defence.

“Russia remained a nuclear power but no one wanted to listen to us,” Mr Putin, 65, told politicians.

“No one has listened to us,” he said. “You listen to us now.”

ANNA COREN AND CNN
He said the hypersonic intercontinental rocket, known as the Avangard, is capable of travelling 20 times the speed of sound and strike “like a meteorite, like a fireball”.

“It’s like a fireball guided to its target,” said Mr Putin, who also announced Russia was working on laser weapons systems.

The Russian leader, who has been in power since May 2012, said the missile’s appearance is being kept under wraps.

Mr Putin also announced a web contest to name a new, high-speed underwater drone which carries nuclear warheads and can destroy aircraft carriers and coastal facilities.

The Russian military has dubbed the shadowy vessels autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), allegedly capable of deploying missiles with a power of 100-megatons.

Mr Putin said the new weapons make NATO’s US-led missile defence “useless”, effectively ending Western efforts to “contain” Russia.

“I want to tell all those who have fuelled the arms race over the last 15 years, sought to win unilateral advantages over Russia, introduced unlawful sanctions. All you wanted to impede with your policies have already happened ... You have failed to contain Russia.”

Mr Putin sensationally vowed to wage nuclear war on the United States if they attacked Russia, branding Donald Trump’s new nuclear doctrine “worrying”.


An image grab taken from a video footage made available on the Russian Defence Ministry shows cruise missiles being launched in the eastern Mediterranean off the Syrian coast. Picture: AFP
The Kremlin strongman said that if Russia was attacked with nukes then he would not hesitate to launch his nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, RT reported.

The country successfully launched its massive Satan Two nuclear missile, a 100-tonne rocket capable of wiping out the UK, in October.

The colossal weapon which can carry 12 warheads at once travelled 58000 kilometres towards a ballistic missile test landing site in far-east Russia.

The missile, also known as RS-28 Sarmat, has a range of 9600 kilometres and was fired on Thursday night from Plestek Cosmodrome in Oblast, 880km north of Moscow.


Russian President Vladimir Putin gives his annual state of the nation address in Manezh in Moscow, Russia. Picture: AP
The Russian news outlet Sputnik reported in May that an RS-28 rocket is “capable of wiping out parts of the Earth the size of France or Texas”.

On that basis it has been reported that the weapon could “wipe out an area the size of England and Wales twice over”.

The Russian ministry said they had “carried out an exercise to manage its strategic nuclear forces.”


Mr Putin today claimed Moscow’s operation in Syria showed Russia’s increased capabilities in the defence sector.


North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump have been so busy talking up their own nuclear capabilities but did the world takes its eyes off Russia? Picture: AFP
Mr Putin told politicians the nation had restored its domestic air defence systems.

The strongman also vowed to cut the “unacceptable” poverty rate in half over the next six years, in his state of the nation address.

“[We should] at least halve the poverty rate in the next six years,” Mr Putin said, adding that 20 million Russians currently live below the poverty line compared to 42 million in 2000.

The Russian leader used the address to outline policy for a widely anticipated new six-year term in the Kremlin following March 18 presidential elections.

Putin, who has led the country for the last 18 years, focused on domestic issues in the speech, saying that the coming years will be “decisive” for Russia.

Yikes.

That Droney McDroneface online survey news was a nice light touch, though. Good to show you listen to the voices of the people.

The only thing that self glorification megalomaniac is cabable of delivering is fast track rocket to Uranus.

Not name dropping but I’ve met him several times as I work in renewables on large scale solar and storage developments. The above statement is shared by many in my industry.

Elon Musk is just a show man a PJ Barnam..
