As we praise The Warriors of Ukraine

We Thank the New Patron Saint of Ukraine ,St Javelinus for sending the People of Ukraine her ripe bounty of thousands of Javelins , AT4s ,Nlaws missles

We praise the dead Russians for fertilising the lands of Ukraine and giving us a bumper crop of sunflowers

Amen

Think the Russians are making some serious headway today. If media are to be believed.

It does seem a little odd, but then again, when you look at how news networks tend to report on a hot war, it's very sanitised overall. Very little of the up close terrible realities of war, as this would traumatise people, but at the same time this can make the whole situation seem a bit unreal.

Can you just imagine looking out the window of any house in Ireland and seeing that?

Was reading page 330, now the last page is 275, so a lot of messages deleted.

Posts are getting deleted from the thread every second

Cyber attack on the thread??

Boards acting up?

It's unbelievable that we're even contemplating it. I need to stress, here, that I still consider a nuclear strike to the most remotely possible outcome in all of this, but if we're just supposing about things, here, if that were to happen i.e. a limited nuclear strike on a defiant Ukraine, utterly insane as it would be, would that bring NATO members into the conflict directly, or do they continue doing as they are doing by looking on, condemning and offering support? They're already condemning fairly strongly and so on. In that terrible, terrible scenario, it just doesn't seem like any condemnation would be strong enough, and it wouldn't, but we understand why NATO would still hesitate to get involved, even though they'd have to do something. It would be one hell of a decision.

Has anyone noticed Lukashenko in Belarus has gone very quiet ,he was mouthing off about going into Ukraine but he's gone fairly quite despite Russian attacking Ukraine from his border

Putin has paused the invasion of Ukraine to take care of more immediate matters - getting posts deleted from boards.ie

Looks like someones hacked boards to me, there's 150 pages of posts been deleted in the last 10 mins

Doesnt look like mods doing, surely the Russians have better things to be doing than hacking an Irish bulletin board ?

The longer it drags on the harder it will be for them to suppress the news to the general population. Remember a large number of Russians have family connections with Ukraine either directly or via marriages. There will be a lot more of the truth of the "peacekeeping operation" leeching out to the general Russian population the longer this goes on. Then you have the Russian mothers who will be looking to find out what happened to their sons who were sent into Ukraine. If the casualties are at the levels being hinted at that too will reach the ears of the general population. It looks like Putin truly believed his troops would be welcomed with open arms and flowers instead the only flowers that he will see will be the sunflowers sprouting from their corpses in the fields of Ukraine this summer.
