Was Winston’s first question to Marco Rubio in Washington ‘what’s a woman’?
The Winston Peters Marco Rubio meeting was supposed to be about diplomacy — trade, minerals, influence in the Pacific. Instead, it’s raised a far more uncomfortable question: what exactly is New Zealand aligning itself with?

Was Winston’s first question to Marco Rubio in Washington ‘what’s a woman’?
Winston was there to bend the knee on resources…
What exactly are we signing up to here?
…note Rubio was directly asked about Trump’s genocidal threats and he just walks off…
A journalist asks US Secretary of State if the US operation constitutes war crimes, threatening to wipe out a civilisation. The NZ Foreign Minister smiles in response. He does not represent the NZ people. We oppose Trump’s war crimes and stand for peace and international law.…

And where does New Zealand actually stand?
…Trump blundered into this war and now he can’t get out. He’s spineless and cowardly last-minute backdown is the greatest American defeat since Vietnam.
This is who Winston wants to do business with.
From body language alone, guess which one is the supplicant
Winston talks for the realists of the country.We are a dot in the ocean trying to live a First World existence based on farming and a few minerals. We need the American market plus the Chinese market .Both are ruled by a person you would not want to call friend but we close or eyes to their crimes and except the good life we live.
Thank you Winston
“we’re a dot in the ocean”
Thus the need to uphold international law and be an impartial, objective world citizen.
Winston just went and kowtowed to the individuals who should be in the Hague and are solely responsible for the worldwide chaos we are facing.
Our trade with China: 26% of our exports.
Our trade with the US: 12% of our exports
So no, we don’t need blood money from the global terrorist organisation you adore.
Your “realist” stance is nothing but unprincipled serfdom.
What’s that phrase “If you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for anything”…
Like being sucked in by lies about the Green Party and Moa Point at Trev?
But look at you, thanking the worst Foreign Minister I’ve ever seen.
You hearing yourself Trev?
“we close or eyes to their crimes and except the good life we live.”
That pathetic old wankstain needs to go.
Ranting this morning on RNZ about freedom of navigation.
Then goes and stands with a country that hasn’t ratified any of the Law of the Seas conventions. A country found guilty of mining the harbours of Guatemala and El Salvador to further the ends of the death squads they were arming and funding.
Guess what the response of the US was to that guilt.
Always bitching about sovereignty and telling the UN and WHO not to interfere.
But sucks Yankee cock when they launch an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation engaged in peace talks.
Iran is a sovereign nation with the absolute right under the IAEA and the NNPT to develop nuclear facilities and power generation.
Winnie can go fuck himself. He discredits our entire country with his craven hypocrisy.
Yes I agree with you cinder winstone and our current government are extremely weak,they have no backbone. We have rich white men here influencing our government. And these nasty controlling racist bastards should fuck off back to where they came from and take their stinken dirty money with them. Grovelling to the demented Trump is sickening and not a good look for our country that once prided itself on upholding our independant policy and diplomatic standards. NZers need to think about who they vote for this election we can’t go through another three years of the CoC government, they are too divisive. A vote for winstone is a vote for three more years of the status quo.
If you believe the latest poll Winston’s popularity is growing .Personally he has never been my cup of tea and I dislike Shane Jones but if it is a choice between them holding the reigns or Labour/Greens/TPM then I will settle for Winston especially at this time of crisis.
But you’re an incredibly stupid individual Trevor.
You believe obvious lies fed to you by social media and don’t even possess the intellect to question what you’re reading.
If I had my way you would be stripped of your voting rights because you’re basically sub-human.
At the last election more thought like me than like you.According to the polls there is a larger margin who would vote for Coalition Parties than the 3 Left Parties do they all lose their right to vote or is it just they see the world through a different lense
. I am happy for you to make your choice and respect your views it is a pity in return you espouse hatred usually with crude language
