Russia - threadbanned users in OP

What an embarrassment those two specimens are.

Are you trying to suggest that he would be better off trusting Putin???

if the Russians attack Ireland at least we have Clare Daly and Mick Wallace to use as interlocutors

It's about sticking to the 'rules of engagement' and not giving him an excuse to (further) up the ante.

I do wonder why there has been a sudden increase in larger missile use by the Russians the last couple of days.

As mentioned before, when the yanks go on a crusade, it's usually a few weeks of missiles, take out all the key points and then they send the troops in. Russia have sent the troops in, they came to slow down and then they went to middle route.

Are the missiles to raise low morale? Are they finding it difficult to get the troops to go into battle areas?

They are going bigger with the strikes on Kharkiv. 6 days in and they are still on the outskirts of a City that's 30km from the border. There's no supply issues in Kharkiv. They launching missiles at random spots in the city. Wierd.

The 40km convoy is an interesting one. Theres something not right about it. Surely that wasn't the plan? As mentioned on twitter, it's cold out there, they are using fuel/batteries to heat themselves up, running low on food. If they are having supply issues today, it will be worse tomorrow.

If the Belarus troops go in that will be an act of panic. That would have always been a last resort measure. Lukashenko doesn't have the dominance in Belarus that Putin has. A War on Ukraine, sending their troops in to die just to keep Vlad happy. Even his own public support would be questioning that type of stuff. All out sanctions on them and they would suffer too.

I'm dismayed to see that the plan to give Ukraine fighter jets from countries across the EU has fallen apart. What chance do the Ukrainians have when this kind of nonsense is going on. What is it going to take for the EU to help the Ukraine in a meaningful way. Putin will kill millions if allowed will Europe just watch on from the sidelines say its awful etc.

The two wallies Wallace and Daly should be shunned by the country or fecked off to Moscow to live under Putin.

Don't believe everything that is being spouted online.

I am 100% sure there are "Private Contractors" on the ground being paid for directly by western countries and have likely been there for a number of months. I am sure the statements that have been made are purely for optics.

I love the poorly educated

did seem to good to be true, Borrell over stepped, seems there are lots of anti-tank weapons in the pipeling but they will probably arrive too late

Well thanks for the useless essay

Regardless whether you trust "any" media or otherwise, you do not need to "take sides" to view the many first hand accounts detailing the killing of innocent civilians as an illegal act during the current invasion.

Again NATO are not involved. Individual countries are perfectly entitled to aid Ukraine during this unprovoked attack by Russia. Interestingly the Russian invasion of Ukraine is being aided and abetted by two other countries and yet not a word in criticism from you . Ukraine as an independent country is entitled to make agreements with whoever they wish free from the belligerent bullyboy tactics of your mother Russia or the tryant Putin. Ditto Ukraine can maintain a standing army and weaponry regardless of Russiaa views on same.

If and or where there any rights abuses then that is a matter for international investigations, not you throwing shite at an entire country or your leader deciding to unilaterally attack and invade the same independent country which has made no attack or threat on Russia. Russia has had a hand of many many human rights abuses - all which seem to have completely escaped you attention.

Your comments come across as pure unadulterated proxy. I sincerely hope you are getting paid for it.
