Well lets see whether any Irish people in Russia or elsewhere have to suffer directly because of a useless action by the driver
Ah, here. I can withstand the ruination of an old Hindu symbol in the eyes of us here in the West, but if we end up with a 25 letter alphabet because of this....
You think Russia is going to nuke us because someone dented the gates of the embassy? Wait until you hear what the sanctions are doing.
I think of my sons when I see that, I never want to see them in war. I don’t want all out war , I don’t want this to escalate. I don’t see war as the only inevitable solution.
We need to be firm with them and maybe aggressive if that’s what has to be done.
But Id love to think there is equally an effort to infiltrate Russians at home and in the army to turn them against Putin. Totally destabilise the country , not with hate but with some sort of counter- charm offensive. I’d be hoping this is happening regardless of all the sanctions as there’s more then one way to stop a dictator. (As I am sure the cia can testify to)
As others have said, this nonsense act of aggression against the Russian embassy in ireland doesn’t help us in anyway. Maybe it’s cathartic to see it happen but that’s the limit of its benefit and it does give the Russians propaganda ammunition that they don’t actually have to make up.
Why aren't the Russian people targeting there police officers they are obviously scum.
The 52 week range is 69-144, most of which occurred in the last 2 weeks
Holy mother of god 😲
Its been decimated.
Very emotional - i teared up - Fair play to them -
"At least Putin wouldn't be playing jungle music at three in the morning..."
Scholtz accepts that Europe cannot block Russian gas exports.
First of all right now I couldn't care less what the Russian religious leader thinks or says . Right now I'm more concerned with the Ukrainians who are being slaughtered by the Russian state. Putin and his henchmen will only stop if they are met with resistance, not words.
Genuinely concerned, that we are a prime target to be made an example of.
I had that concern before today's incident.
Just seen the news and I am gobsmacked.
So where do you draw the line then?
Back down to Russian demands everytime because if you don't "Nuke"
Doesn't take insider knowledge to see the bully tactics Russia is trying to use and we are encouraging it with our soft responses because we're afraid what they "might" do.
Rouble now 151.5 to the dollar
I said anybody taking actions like this when they are emotional and angry is an idiot. I never said people should not be emotional and angry.
Case in point, you didn’t even read my post properly and Acted as though I was some sort of pro Russian apologist. This happens alot in this thread because a lot of people are looking for somewhere or somebody to relieve their anger, they don’t even realise they are just attacking people randomly.
Dublin to be nuked first after that.
I'm gonna pack up head on over towards Tralee, keep myself out of the blast radius.
Boycott it. You should but won't.
One twitter genius suggested that because Ireland's population density is low compared to the UK, Ireland should take lots more refugees than the UK
Maybe the individual deliberately missed the irony of her statement where Ireland had England to thank for its low population density as a result of approx 800 years of brutal invasion and ethnic cleansing
That only tends to work on people in two minds, not on those who've already made them up. With those people it only reinforces what they already believe. IE the West is against us, even the Irish and we've never hurt them. Now we know they're American lackeys like the rest of them.
And that's been putin's angle throughout and long before this war too. It builds on the Soviet era paranoia and propaganda of the threat of the West, revved up by the seeming lack of Western support while thugs were raping their economy, then putin stopped that(only in their minds and his spin) and kept the liberal West as the background boogyman, a West who sees the Russian people as peasants and backward(that's a major sore point and insecurity in the Russian psyche). The other day their religious leader/primate bloke(whose richer than Croesus while many Russians struggle) was giving a sermon in support of putin(they're in each other's back pockets) and part of it was the accusation that Western nations only attack nations that don't allow Pride parades. Yeah... It can all be quite the alien world for much of the Western mind.
The UK's motto is "we don't take refugees, we make them!"
You think letting putin see how " civil " we are will somehow get him to stop. In fact I think anyone who isn't getting " emotional and angry " about this needs to seriously take a look at themselves.
Its the people trying to talk logically and calmly that are going to get there heads kicked in by this lot,
They have no idea the level of moron they are trying to talk to think the Russians attacking the English during the euros.
I dunno mass is no good
Are you absolutely sure about that?
TBH Russians must know something is off about the "Special Operation". The tweet here shows that some Russian Celebrities are against the war and have paid a price.
They don't even have to use icbms. Just bomb a few nuclear power plants in Ukraine and let the prevailing winds do the rest.
Nuclear fallout is like using poison gas it can blow back to you and unlike poison gas hangs around for decades even centuries.
week 4 reinforcements
I think quite the opposite in fact. It's acts like this that will filter through to the ordinary Dimitry or Anya in Russia who will ask " what the f**k is going on here,why are they all against us? "
Think I seen a Lada on the last trailer LOL.
Let's hope they have enough fit soldiers to push it!
