Maybe he was sitting on the hand for ages before he came out to give himself a fancy wa^k
Being a Slav and a Nazi is a bit like being a black member of the KKK. Nazis did not recognise the right of Slavs to exist.
All seems very quiet on the front going by twitter anyway, wonder if there's some serious sh1t going down in Moscow instead
This is pretty heartwarming. I think there’d be lots of us there if there was a train from Kiev to Dublin

Doesnt look like its shaking, I always thought it odd that he accussed the Ukrainian leadership of being drug addicts. Seemed an odd choice for propaganda, almost like he's projecting...
Filling the tanks with green diesel.
Did Beasty kill him? Was it polonium, Novichok, a tenth floor window or some really steep stairs?

Have a read of this particular shitbag had to say.
We're anti Russian,
Russian children being bullied in Irish schools
His embassy is under siege.
He'd likely know more than most here at least in terms of the actuality of war & how both sides tell a selective narrative.
Bit like RTE & SKY attempt to just dismiss the genuine concern that there are extreme far right white nationalists operating officially in Ukraine, that have been given at least tacit official government approval since 2014, these are not just regular fringe far right to simply dismiss- they are a militia working on their own or alongside the regular police and army with a government nod.
Were RTE even considering the concern! they dismissed it saying that the President of Ukraine is Jewish. Since when is there only one type of Jewish person? unintentionally Racist or simpletons dismissal by the media, One of the founding leaders of the far right in Ukraine is also Jewish!
Several BBC Reports from 2014 & 2018 show it is a issue and has been for years.
Not a small issue either!
and now they are armed with lethal weapons, we should be as concerned about them as we are about Putins intentions.
Incredible... No Words.
I don't see any of that. The anti-soviet forces have tended to have nazi leanings going back to the nazi invasion of Russian. The nazis were massively pumped with old style crystal meth. It was even in the chocolate rations they got in ww2. Its an easy transition to folklore that anti soviet/anti Russians are nazis and drug addicts. It's just normal propaganda and folklore.
While that is amazing, I'd be terrified of being in a crowd as big as that when Putin is as unpredictable as he is.
I'm still wondering where the Russian airforce and elite units are, could they be deliberately held back in reserve for a NATO defence or a further expansion of this war into other countries?
You're wrong there about Tiananmen square. So paranoid about dissent that everyone entering the square goes through airport like security (as do all users of the metro btw).
You wouldn't even get to the square before being arrested.
**** off
Right now the invasion is a far far far bigger issue. When Russian troops leave the Ukraine entirely it can get discussed. Till then no one actually gives a f and this is just an attempted distraction from Russia invading.
The US has a nazi problem as well including in the police force and military. Trust me if the US was invaded I would not care about it while a far bigger issue was at play.
Oh and we should be far more worried about Putin's ambitions since he likely wants far more countries under his control having made plays at Georgia before as well and is threatening Finland and Sweden. To say otherwise is patently ridiculous.
Sad fact blue on blue happens in every conflict. Plenty of such incidents in both gulf wars.
And to think how many times have people on here have claimed putin and the Czechs are Allies.
Not in my experiences the Russians aren't so popular in the Czech republic
As stated to you (multiple times)
The killing of Volodymyr Struk who supported President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine is a very sad outcome of the current invasion which shouldn't be excused by anyone regardless.
However using your logic the killing of Struk is fully matched by the Russians in Ukraine settling lots of scores on a mass scale against ethnic Ukrainians under the cover of the invasion
Ukraine may indeed have problems with corruption. It is however more or less on par with Russia on that score, with the two countries variously ranking over each other in the last couple of years.
On the current situation regarding Viktor Medvedchuk, he is considered an ally of Putin, who he has previously referred to as "a personal friend". Putin is also the godfather of Medvedchuk's daughter. In February 2021, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine placed Medvedchuk on a sanctions list, due to alleged financing of terrorism. In May 2021, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, accused Medvedchuk of treason and attempted looting of national resources in Crimea. As a result Medvedchuk has been under house arrest since 13 May 2021. Post the Russian Invasion invasion there are claims that he has fled house arrest, while his lawyer claimed that the politician had been “evacuated to a safe place in Kyiv.
Ultimately trying to paint the recent Invasion of Ukraine by the Russians disingenuously as an "ethnic conflict" comes across as something straight out of Putins personal notebook.
I think it’s important but difficult to separate what’s happening and who is doing it from Russians as a whole. Judging by some behaviour here I could see how the ambassador could have a legitimate concern. It’s very low down on the list of concerns right now but personally I’d like this guy kicked out. He very clearly is bias to what’s happening and his government are terrorists.
I read or maybe it was brought up in this thread that a good reason for keeping this ambassador is because there are surrogate pregnancies in Ukraine with Irish children. This has me very conflicted. Best just to ignore him.
Kind of Nuremburg war crimes trial pose... or is it just me?
CNN reporting that NATO believe Russia will go down the "bomb cities into submission" route, rather than try to enter them (which they are already doing).
Not with 68, but with 5 it does. Just as 6+8 is 14, and 1+4 is 5. So the 68 is reduced to 5. If you try and move around the + within any of the dates, you will see that the sums all get reduced down to 5.
Now I think it’s coincidence, because why wouldn’t it be. Not everything has to have a grand meaning behind it, and besides, what is so menacing about numbers?
Anyone that think that is a fcuking moron. Out of all of the eastern countries, the Czechs hate the Russians the most. They've a long history particularly in the Czech part of the former state of early resistance
Yes, the 'Prague Spring' and all that.
There was reports of Ukraine moving to a more counter attack rather than defensive role. Could be trying to take out artillery before it can siege Kyiv
Look at how much equipment , vehicles and men are currently stuck in Russian convoys out in the open with little or no aircover and they can't move forward and they can't retreat,
A big counter offensive could completely undo the Russians , but there is also a risk of Russia drawing Ukrainians out of cities and leaving areas Weakened .
But I don't see this ending well for Russia with the current loss of men , equipment and aircraft
A great twitter thread on the Russian economy and how utterly fubar'ed it is
