Sweet jesus! Thousands of Ukrainians are being slaughtered and this is the shite you come out with!
They're a troll, stop feeding them
Has Ireland ever banned a TV station before? Btw do you mind me asking you if you are Eastern European or Irish?
Russia banning the BBC is not a slam dunk reason for Ireland to ban a Russian TV station because many Irish people either oppose censorship or have mixed feelings about it at best. Ireland and Russia are not at war and the BBC are not Irish.
That's it for Russia. That's the sanction that will break them. It's the national pastime of Russia to wear Adidas trackies and squat.
That totally misrepresents my intention. All I was implying was that the Nazi horror show was not comparable to previous (pre-1922) German rule in parts of Poland. A previous post seemed to say otherwise.
So your over excited take from that tragedy is that the Russians policy is now to blanket bomb Ukranian civilians with all their capacity? 100s of thousands killed? All in front of the world media? You believe that Russia will reduce Kyiv to rubble akin to London, Coventry, Birmingham, Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin, Stalingrad etc in WW2? Naive.
They are in the bushes right now, don't go near the windows.
Russia threatening to block Wikipedia over the article titled "Russia Invasion of Ukraine 2022"
Putin is an absolute maniac starting a European war over nothing really , a land grab , I hope he gets assassinated
But this whole thing with artists and sportspersons having to speak out is ridiculous
Thomas tuchel got a 7min grilling on the war
Some Russian orchestra conducter admittedly close to the Kremlin got fired for not taking a stance
Ban Twitter also.
(UK as in United Kingdom NOT Ukraine)
Thanks for that completely unnecessary clarification.
RT and Sputnik aren't news stations, they are Kremlin disinformation operations masquerading as "news". During peace-time I think there's some debate, however during a war, they are genuinely dangerous. Likewise, during the pandemic, Youtube had to deplatform disinformation channels because they promoting medical disinformation which was harmful.
Perhaps they are awaiting their orders. There have been several soldiers captured who have claimed they were not given specific orders. There is also evidence of Russian forces abandoning their equipment and fleeing. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
My point is that the most recent German rule of the Ukranian nation, what that post was ultimately about, the one that happened less than 80 years ago is a far more important factor in the current scenario than some Imperial rule that started 200 years ago. 200 years ago means nothing. I may as well be talking about the Vikings in Dublin and how great those lads were if I'm going to stretch back to over 200 years ago.
We're never going to have a clear picture of what's going on in the midst of a shooting war, but I'm of the strong suspicion that the whole 'invade Ukraine' project isn't going as swimmingly as Putin had hoped. The worse they try and do Kyiv to try and 'make up' for that, the more they increase their status as international pariah.
After that its bide your time and wait for the new planes to take out the rest at their leisure.
There won't be any new planes
Thats why the truth needs to be protected by a body of lies. Whatever is happening in Ukraine it’s as clear as the nose on your face it has not fallen yet and that was clearly not the Russian plan
Russian is fairly inter changeable with Ukrainian right?
Have you heard about 'adidios'with 4 stripes? Also 'nice' and 'rebook', good brands

Apple gone also.
Or do as several are doing and Google pubs,restaurants etc in Moscow then give a review and leave a short message along the lines " your military are slaughtering Ukrainians, are you going to do anything about it? "
Isn’t this what commies used to do back in the day? Awful crappy knock offs of western brands. Perhaps their friends in China can help now.
That's a good idea.
the amount of sh1te fighting talk from Irish who would run a mile if a Halloween banger was heard.
LOL. Some people just can't let it go.
I wouldn't be giving these brands like Nike, Adidas, Apple much qudos. Fed-Ex, Mersk, DHL pulled delivery, that's what did it for them. They could have pulled out days ago. Nike and Apple particularly have zero morals.
Also the likes of Disney and Paramount are saying they won't show new releases in Russia. How about all releases? Cut them from any streaming service in russian territory. Make those Russian teenagers, 20s, 30s go online and find out what they are doing.
True but maybe this is a wake up call? Freedom is precious and we can’t take it for granted.
