Should Trentham Enter World War Three

Michael from Trentham

Yesterday, Russia bombing came within 7.5km (5 minutes vehicle travel time) of starting the third world war.

Russia who are not doing as well as it had anticipated, is tempted to use chemical warfare on the poor Ukrainians, a presumed red line action for the USA.

It must be noted that Russia and the USA have both used chemical weapons in previous wars on multiple occasions.

If NATO and Europe including of course in both instances the UK get into conflict with the Russians (and possibly the Chinese), should NZ go into battle as we have done in the first and second world wars?

DO we side with the Ukrainian who famously said:"Russian warship, go @%&* yourself" not only in words but in action. Or should we be like USA in the second world war and assist our allies in other ways than sending troops and only physically take part if attacked. I suppose Trentham army base will become a target which does not make the surrounding residential areas safe havens.

I wonder if there is any extra urgency at this juncture within the Trentham ranks.

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival

TAP Fusion

New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.


Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
