Lanud Manuhua Well the only most likely enemy within the region is a regional coup within the Western Pacific region or a coup within any Pacific Island which would likely require a minimalist rapid response amphibious deployed mechanised infantry battalion at most at any time in the near future. Unless New Zealand expects an imminent invasion from China, for whatever reason, Id hardly think that sheep is that highly sought after. There is almost no geostrategic reason that China would have a remotest of incentive to ever consider 5 million Rugby and Cricket mad Kiwis worth considering invading by any sane Armed Forces anywhere. But, you want to have a Self Defense Force then you have to have one then. Kiwis, like the Aussies are reputedly the best at Special Operations deployments and small skirmishes like the NZSAS, the ODT, comparable to the Australian SASR, Commando Battalions and the Mine Clearance Divers units which is highly respected by World Military Forces. All other modern u...

(Russian News)  Lanud Manuhua   The Russian Military have confirmed the Foreign Casualties, which is overwhelmingly NATO Soldiers, and are mostly Polish Mercenaries. Of course, there are the, Georgians, Germans, the French, the British and the Americans in amongst the NATO Mercenary DEAD. But, surprisingly there are a high number of Colombians and more outrageously, and annoyingly there are the Australian Mercenary dead. 17 Australian Mercenaries are confirmed. The Australian involvement in the Ukrainian War has brought the ire of the Russians for the Australians and New Zealanders since Russia has NEVER done anything to Australia or New Zealand in their entire History. The MH 17 was not committed by Russia despite the propaganda spouted by Ukraine and especially pandered by NATO and western Media. In 2014, during President Putin's visit to Brisbane, for the G20, the Russian Navy along with Borei SSBNs were parked in the Coral Sea, expecting Australia to attempt to arrest Pres...

Very simplistic but generally accurate. The Puleono o Salafai, or the SIX PULE or the six amalgmated Districts of Savaii Island were Malietoa aligned and were partially patronised by the Germans, but, the British were more influential since John Williams brought the Messenger of Peace and the London Missionary Society (Congregational Church) and in the 1860s the Wesleyan missionaries brought the Methodist church to Samoa. The Germans were commercially engaged in Samoan society via the DHPG company who were overall interested primarily in Copra farming. However, the crux of the issue and no less less discussed in Missionary scholarly works at the period and by academics including the late arrival of Robert Louis Stevenson, is the impact of the Whale trade which required secure blubber sources from the South Seas, in what may be aptly described in the Moby Dick elusive Whaling migrations through the Pacific ocean. The Whaling ships need for port of calls for water replenishment elevated ...

An incredible ignominous Schmuzzle that has irreparably besmirched the international repute of the Royal New Zealand Navy forever. Chronological sequence from start to finish is so self incriminating it is almost criminallly culpable if it were not for the fact that these were New Zealand's finest Naval Seamen on record and transparent to the world. There is alot of criticism for the Royal New Zealand recruitment procedures of purportedly highly qualified Naval Commanders from the Commonwealth, namely from the British Royal Navy, taken to task to Command a Royal New Zealand Naval Vessel, and with the affidavit evidence she clearly was not familiar with the Ship's operations as evidenced in the affidavit. Which brings the vetting process into question. Who recruited her to serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy? Who recruited this Royal Navy Officer to take charge of New Zealand's most expensive Warship and yet she knew as much of the Ship as she knew of New Zealand society as...

Ukrainian and NATO Mercenary lives with over 400 MBTs, and hundreds of IFVS, APCs and thousands of Armoured Military Vehicles and you would highlight that military debacle and defeat as the glass half full at this senate committee hearing has to be the most stupid military impression made by a military commander. The Kursk Offensive has been completely defeated and driven out of Russia and is now the retreating Ukrainian Forces are in Sumy. The econometric war which is based on tanks and IFVs lost by the Russians is like the Vietnam war with the hundreds and thousands of Vietcong casualties comparable to the American Allies....and the rest is history. The Russian-Ukrainian war, like Afghanistan and Vietnam, is yet another example of how a prolonged war against the LOCALS, ie, the Russians fighting within the Russian Steppes ie Donbass, Kharkov, Kherson and Crimea will inevitable end in a VICTORY to the local force. In this instance, in a geopolitical war whereby the locals had alrea...

The Cuzzy Bros.....We were from the Malietoa Talavou, from the Maota o Pouesi, we were before the Malietoa Laupepa who were from the Maota Poutoa. But, this is after our rule was superceded by the Maota O Poutoa. Who would then be overwhelmed by Mataafa Iosefo force made up of Tumua Warriors from predominately Atua and Aana conjointly. The rest is history...... The Rule of Le Maota O Pouesi. Before the second Samoan Civil War: Malietoa Talavou was the last Tafaifa of all of Samoa. He passed away in 1880. He is my Fifth Great Grandfather from his second wife's son who married a Taupou from Apia Village. Le Susuga Malietoa Talavou Tonumaipeʻa   ( c.  1810  - November 9, 1880) was installed as "King" of  Samoa  to the western world on August 28, 1879, until his death on November 9, 1880. Since Malietoa Talavou's half brother's (same father  M. Vai'inupo ) death,  Malietoa Moli  in 1860, ongoing wars due to power and authority struggle between Talavou and...
