With invest, I take it you may mean that thing where you spend and hope for a return. But these USA fixtures can be instant wins. The Springboks vs All Blacks game in Baltimore will be in front of more than 62,300, making a heap more more money for both the Springboks and All Blacks than any of the ones played in South Africa. It will be the most-attended single rugby match in North American history - not only making money but also showcasing the game.

Nations Cup games would be great for this idea as well - not only in America but also in other places you mentioned such as Madrid

Maybe saying there should be six nations games in America is taking it too far, because of the tradition etc as you say. But World Rugby is correct to want to promote the game in America.

Not only to grow the game but also to compete with NFL, since NFL is already targeting rugby countries for their growth, using this same idea.

Just yesterday the San Francisco 49ers played the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, in front of a sold out stadium.

Rugby will either compete and grow or go into terminal decline.

I don't agree with this assessment of India. It is also on a right-wing, authoritarian path under the Hindu nationalist BJP. In bed with Putin too. India as it is now is no champion for liberal democracy unfortunately.

Seems like the judge is appeasing Nazism here, and failing to protect the policeman and his family

Nonsense. There is no configuration of state and legislative body that makes any country automatically safe from manipulation by state capturing billionaires or Russian interference. There is a continuous work of education around this that needs doing all the time, and doing it is the only way we won't be brought down. The monarchy is pretty useless and irrelevant in this. Did they stop the UK from being taken out of the EU by far right populists? You know they did not.

Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia's right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.

Perhaps but British white people have never. This police officer is being an absolute cry bully for doing this. She now has to go to a criminal trial! Unbelievable.

Yeah. Except that she now needs some public support. I imagine the Daily Mail & the Murdoch media will be milking every drop out of this

If true, then this is not really so terrible is it? Because nowhere in the history of a white person like this cop, do we find colonialism or racial discrimination.

I feel that yes, everyone should respect the position of a police officer, but he does not need to pretend that he was a victim of a racial offence. He, and white people in general, have no idea what it is like to be on the receiving end of racism. For a white person, white is just a word. To pretend it hurts is to be a cry baby.

I have seen an article comparing our spending on this war with Russian spending. We are somehow being out spent, but get much more bang for our buck than Russia. Winning this war would be easy with the right mindset.

Yes, and the countries helping Ukraine should be able to outspend Russia easily. Russia's economy is roughly the same size as Australia's, whereas the US, Germany, the UK and France are all bigger. The fact that we Russia is outspending us, reflect badly on us.
