					<description><![CDATA[ee Cervantes

If you listen to that podcast you would learn that China imposed hudge tarrifs on Australia because they asked China about the origins of the China virus.

Note to ee Cervantes Australia is not the USA, and as regards the China virus only Sweden chose correctly.  Golly gee, the elite experts were wrong.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good thing that Brain E is an authority on the Ukrainian constitution.  If only they had consulted him none of this unpleasantness would have happened. Yanukovych wouldn&#039;t have called in the snipers.  Russians wouldn&#039;t have shot down MH 17.  Russia wouldn&#039;t have invaded Ukraine in 2022. 

If only.  If only.

					<description><![CDATA[Conservative Former Prime Minister of Australia notices that isolationist right wing Republicans (anyone around here?) have Putin Fascination Syndrome (PFS).  

That because Putin is opposed to the far left (woke) he gets loves from isolationist Conservatives even though Conservatives don&#039;t condone murdering political opponents or invading smaller, weaker, neighbors, or at least didn&#039;t used to.  The Prime Minister also speculates that such isolationist Conservatives suffering from PFS talk about China being the real threat but won&#039;t stand against China when it moves on Taiwan.

IMO (om) much like the reviled GOPe on domestic issues the isolationist PFS Conservatives will never find a hill worth fighting for.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Art Deco. 

Article 108
The powers of the President of Ukraine terminate prior to the expiration of term in
cases of:
1. resignation;
2. inability to exercise his or her powers for reasons of health;
3. removal from office by the procedure of impeachment;
4. death.

The Rada removed Yanukovych for abandoning his position- though he was in Kharkiv at the time. I don&#039;t think that procedure is in the constitution.

He wasn&#039;t impeached, which is covered in Article 111 and requires judicial review and a 3/4 vote of the Rada to remove the President.
