UK will take 100,000 Ukrainian refugees but family only.
Based on the situation in 1998, thanks for the history lesson but that pre-dates Putin's autocratic dictatorship.
he makes a good point, did the Russians intervene when the US invaded Panana, no, as its their backyard
Even the Chinese wouldn't stand for that and they run concentration camps. There is speculation that if the west get involved militarily, that Putin would nuke the ocean somewhere as a warning.
This…
you negotiate with reasonable people…not with crazies trying to start WW3 and invading their sovereign neighbours…
It seems it would trigger a defence pact with China and they could have reason to invade Russia.
I'm so fcuking angry with the Russians

George Kennan's 1998 comments about NATO expansion make for interesting reading:

A Russian comes on here and expresses his opinion that there is BS propaganda on both sides. What is wrong with that ?
Nobody elected you as Chairman of this thread. If you scoot everyone, dohnjoe, there'll be nobody left but yourself and those that agree with you
That has to be photoshopped! It's showing beach landings in the UK and advances into France and Italy in the inset box of Europe.
Show me for the benefit of the crowd.
The US and its allies have agreed to a release of 60 million barrels from their reserves, according to two sources familiar with the decision. Half of it — 30 million — will come from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and the other half will come from allies in Europe and Asia.
For a second there I thought you meant Mick Wallace... it scanned 🤣
Could russia drop a nuclear bomb on ukraine with America and nato doing nothing other than more sanctions. I think he could and he knows that.
Would America and nato retaliate with nukes to Moscow? Definitely not IMO.
So I think putin has a freebie if he wants. God help us all.
Fake Newski.
I'm hearing Putin and his family are hiding out in the Ural mountains. Has he got wind of a coup??
we will be heading for a million refugees in no time.
It would be better to offer asylum and support for 50 to 80000 deserting Russian soldiers spread across Europe to break the war.
If there was any way that cretin along with his buddies Daly, Ming and McManus could be removed from office before their term is up I'd sign that petition, no question. They are a disgrace to this country and I don't want them representing it.
Weird that he didn't promise him the rank of General.
Arrows in to Moldova. He should be shot for his ineptitude alone. I assume U.S. know the end game but have to shut up and let others speak as anything the say is used as proof of the rest of the NATO members being puppets.
UCD went down the rabbit hole a long time ago. Though I didnt realise they now have kowtowing on the curriculum as well. Good job there UCD. And afaik amongst others they've employed to teach our best and brightest is our very own 'you are all racist cos you're white' / 'hotel statues are racist' expert. An animal rights 'activist' who was jailed for his role in animal liberation front crimes in the UK, went to prison there, got a PhD and was subsequently employed in a nice job in UCD sharing his expertise. Another I can think off the top of my head was the anti vaccine, anti mask and former UCD professor who had a warrent issued for her arrest in London during one of the lockdowns there.
They used to say a person went to university to learn how to think for themselves. Now it looks more about students being taught what to think by some of the more somewhat interesting elements of society?
Don't forget he was interviewed a few weeks ago and said Putin promised him the rank of Colonel.
Mick Wallace votes against the European Parliament resolution condemning Russian aggression to Ukraine, saying “there is no military solution to this crisis”.
What a fcuking disgusting man. A coward, without honour.
Can you imagine an invader in your home, about to murder you at gunpoint, and your response being “there is no military solution to this crisis”.
It sends chills down my spine to think of more of these cretins being around at the outbreak of WW2.
Indeed. Imagine this yoke is living here amongst us, enjoying the benefits of our free and open economy/society. Preaching to us here thats “there’s BS on both sides”. Apparently
YouTube has blocked channels linked to Russian state-owned media outlets RT and Sputnik across Europe amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The Google-owned video platform said the ban was effective immediately but said it may take some time for the block to become fully effective.
Reported by the Examiner.
No more checking on Russian propaganda now? (unless you use a VPN?)
I hope he has an orange jumpsuit too in case he ends up facing life in prison in the future.
I expect Lukashenko is in his element with all this and will be putting on his most comically oversized Commie general hat shortly, if he's not got it on already.
I haven't seen this kind of sustained wall to wall TV news coverage since 9/11. Even sports news is relating back to events in Ukraine.
Looks like a move in to Transnistria on the map - Moldova
