New Zealand ambassador sacked

Presented without comment.

At an event in London on Tuesday, High Commissioner Phil Goff compared efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine to the 1938 Munich Agreement, which allowed Adolf Hitler to annex part of Czechoslovakia.

Mr Goff recalled how Sir Winston Churchill had criticised the agreement, then said of the US leader: “President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?”

His comments were “deeply disappointing” and made his position “untenable”, New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters said…Peters said Mr Goff’s views did not represent those of the New Zealand government.

New Zealand is missing its common sense.

Uhmm, I do believe they have common sense, but they lack experience as a major player on the world stage.

China has made them into an extremely important front center stage important, despite them mostly culturally being extremely literate sheep herders and bronze age warriors.
