And the war on their own people controlled by a small group of Billionaires internationally linked through several organisations.

Afghanistan has never been a threat to the USA nor New Zealand but US bombing and occupation was/is a pert of US billionaires controlling the ME along with Israel , to secure and steal the oil and control the Suez canal., in addition to extending the US centric Empire.
NZ should have nothing to do with this toxic group that have consistently waged was since 1945 killing many tens of millions.

The US troops sent to French Indo China were a small contingent acting as a UN presence to facilitate Vietnam wide elections. The US increased their number of “advisors” to 1 million troops and prevented any moves to hold national elections. Instead they installed a puppet Govt in Southern Vietnam and proceeded to wage was on resisting Vietnamese. The NZ public were fed news from the Reuters USA propaganda machine.
NZ also needs to apologise to Vietnam and look at recompense.

After the Japanese were routed from Korea by Koreans and the USA in the South and Koreans with the USSR in the North, there was agreement across Korea to reunite and conduct their own affairs. The US stopped the unification of Korea.

“At the war’s end, the general of the defeated Japanese, Abe Endo, surrendered the reins of self-government to Yo Un Hyung, a politician well regarded in both the south and north of Korea. Yo participated in the forming of People’s Committees in all Korean provinces and the Korean People’s Republic arose. However, Japanese general Kozuki Yoshio convinced his American counterpart, general John Hodge, that the new government in Korea was communist. Consequently, the communist-phobic US abolished the government of the Korean People’s Republic, and the United States Army Military Government was installed in the south of a truncated Korea. ”
The USA was the problem and their problem with people governing themselves was the cause of the American War against Korea. Remember NZ took part in the killing of innocent civilians. We should recognise the shame our leaders brought upon up and apologise to Korea. We recompense to the people of Korea.

Why do we persist in supporting this criminal US killing machine.
If war breaks out which seems to be the path the US is pushing for, NZ will become a target unless we free ourselves from the captured politicians and public service shills who are controlled by USA Thorndon.
One missile on Auckland may be just a warning that we need to start thinking.

Supporting the US led assault may well see much greater damage across NZ if we back the USA. We have no defense for our stupidity in supporting the warmonger, USA. China is very sensitive to the unwarranted criticism of its internal affairs by NZ. We are less strident than OZ so are given some leeway but that may disappear and not return if we continue to back US political assault on China.

Rocket lab has to go as does five eyes and the stupid NZ political puppets that issue condemnation of China for pursuing it own internal political developments.
They show their hand and who is controlling them.
We also need to look at the USA with its highest incarceration rate globally, its racist war on blacks and others and its war on the poor while further promoting the wealth of the billionaires. A public health system is too socialist for them so many just die in back alleys for want of medical support. Its sanctions against nations that hold different political stances is illegal and abominable.

We should have no truck with political alignment with such a dangerous “ally”.

The Canterbury / Christchurch water is loaded with cancer related nitrogen products from the dairy intensification facilitated by the jonnah key regime sacking the elected environmental watch dog and installing industry puppets. They ignored the environmental consequences and promote intensive dairy and widespread irrigation each with its massive detrimental environmental impact.
Christchurch may have water that had better not be drunk.

However, I think you have it wrong. Auckland runs out of water before Christchurch does. Christchurch ends up under water (due to the multi-meter sea level rise nobody is planning for; there will still be some of Auckland left above the water line in 2050).
