Sky news having interview in Moscow close to the Kremlin, with russian police in the background, was expecting something to kick off but it was relaxed enough considering. Good interview
Simon says we are going to close Irish airspace to Russian planes.
Lol good man Simon. Were you on the jack's when that came to you.
Bigly time. You want a man who came up with "covfefe" to try and fix a fellow narcissist?? Come on, you're better than that......
I think the Kyiv attack is only a decoy to cover putins established objective which is a land corridor to the Black Sea.
At this stage, the only places Russians can actually go and be welcomed on their holidays will be North Korea and Belarus.
I imagine a health spa in Pyongyang would be quite bracing.
Can you not look at both sides to the conflict tool .
He made a mistake and should have just sent troops to Donbass for breaking the Minsk agreement.
Irish airspace to be closed to Russian carriers.

Totally agree. It will be interesting to see what Finland does in the coming weeks in terms of looking to join NATO or not. You would have to think the past week's action by Russia have tipped the balance towards them joining NATO and sooner rather then later too.
Putin may launch a small, low yield, tactical nuke.
Here's a theory. NATO is clearly involved and have been for over a week. Anyone watching ADS-B for the last week will know that, despite people saying Biden or the US is doing little, nothing could be further from the truth. E8, Rivet Joint and Global Hawks have been sending Intel ( troop movements etc) through secure Data Link to Ukranian leaders on the ground. That's the result of all the Western Communication equipment and training given to the Ukraine armed forces over the last few years.
The skies over Poland, Romania, Cyprus and all the other Baltic states has been alive with US and allies air assets for a week now. The US has been getting involved quietly and calmly. Now they, the Germans, Poles, British, French ,etc are ready.
Everything is in place for a Shock and Awe, lightning fast attack on key Russian military and industrial targets all across the country using CONVENTIONAL weapons. That's key.
You see, Russia may use a small kiloton, low yield missile on a remote Ukranian target to warn the West to back off with the Military Aid to Ukraine. It's quite plausible that this may happen.
However, the US has capabilities that, even after 30 years of studying and researching their technical prowess, still stocks me. Plus they have experience in war. Trust me, if a nuclear weapon is detonated as a warning, the conventional strike that will immediately occur will set Russia back 100 years. It will be precise, military and industrial. It will completely eliminate command and control centres for Nuclear assets.
Everyting is in place now. While the world's focus is on Eastern Europe, go take a look at what has been happening in US bases around the Pacific and Middle East.
This will be the only time and opportunity in it's history the US will have to finally take Russia and Putin out of the race for good.
Just a theory...
Earlier this month
Potential excuse or cover for nuke/dirty bomb of their own?
You go girl!
This is a good read:
It could get to the stage where Russia will be like East Berlin back in the day, people will be arriving in to Moscow Airport with extra pairs of embargoed Levi 501's to sell.
Australia has said it will fund the supply of weapons to Ukraine to help it fight Russian forces, days after the government said it would only provide “non-lethal” military equipment.
Russia has started a fight it really cannot win, god knows what possessed him to start in the first place unless he has a limited time to live and wants to go out with bang
If Ukraine manages to hold the Russians off for 10 days, then the Russians will have to enter negotiations. Because they have no money, weapons, or resources
I assume this means Russia's surrender lmao
Russia’s whole plan relies on panic – that the civilians and armed forces surrender and Zelensky flees.
Oops
Interesting twitter thread from Riho Terras, an Estonian MEP (former General of the Estonian army and later the head of the Estonian Defence Forces)
He has said that the Russians will run out of steam after a maximum of 10 days, that they did not foresee such dedicated resistance and more importantly that they cannot replace their losses of heavy weapons and armor.
According to him, if the Ukranians can keep up organised resistance and don't panic they can grind down the invasion.
Well almost another night passed without much incidence bar lots of devastation of the Russians - there must be lots of higher ups in the Russian military asking WTF are we doing, why are we invading a country for no reason and why is the rest of the world fecking us over?
Every day this lasts it surely must mean Putin is losing support? The sooner he is gone the better - has done nothing to better the Russian people
You are such an idiot.
Do any of ye work with clients in Russia, etc, and if so, have ye changed anything?
Some would say that being a very stable genius would be a reason
I wish I could say the same.
Unfortunately I don't have the same willpower
Your wife is just too hot for me to say no
(She's no Melania though)
Yeah, it's not difficult to do the math - if Putin is saying we're redoing the 1917 borders, and attacks Ukraine, then Finland is on the list of countries under threat. But if Finland is going to join NATO, then it should happen while Russia is busy elsewhere - and not in 2024 when there's "military excericses" in Karelia.
It would be great for morale to capture on video them taking out a tank with the Javelin, even better if it was a civilian doing the honours.
Trump was Putins bitch. Could you see Trump leading his troops into battle ?
can we just consign that sexist, racist moron to history before he attracts any more numbskulls

I'd advise you research any such link to verify it's not a scam first. If you do a search on the EUR IBAN number on that page, you will find it mentioned in various other places, for instance.
I don't know if any Ukrainian refugees have made it as far as Ireland yet, but if so, and if you have a house with spare room you could offer, that would help.
No way, Trump would talk him down, or try to, and Putin could just listen to him, for what ever twisted reason that is, but he seems to respect Trump more than any other western leader.
Doesn't matter. My wife's Russian and I haven't spoken to her or touched her since this crisis began (she's pretty hot too).
We all have to make a stand any way we can.
I'd worry more about Trump talking him up to be honest!
