Russia - threadbanned users in OP

So uh, do you remember, Chernobyl?

That entire region bordering Ukraine and Russia is still irradiated AF.

Suddenly, every biologist not accounted for is accused of making bioweapons? Please.

Incredibly, nobody was killed by the bomb that landed beside the maternity hospital in Mariupol - 17 people were injured.

Comrades, the fog has been lifted from my eyes!

That Telegram channel is a goldmine of enlightenment. 🤥

Lucky people - Imagine the horror of returning to the clusterfuck that is the Motherland.

Vlad's cronies must have gotten some amount of abuse from the mommies of the conscripts for the Ministry of Defense to release this statement..

There's a factual beauty to the statements.

1. It's unfortunate for the Russian regime that an element of the truth has been revealed
2. 'performing logistics tasks' is an obvious euphemism for 'looting' or 'chilling in a farm shed'
3. 'exhaustive measures' - seeing as the conscripts are already in the area of combat operations, they can no longer be sent there and there is no need to prevent this from happening

I actually do.

Hopefully something might come out of these talks because the country will be demolished and huge loss of life will be the result of a prolonged war . Poor as the Russian army has been they can surely throw some serious firepower and casualties will be huge . I don't know what the most Ukraine can hope for but they will pay a huge price if it continues .

Himself and Daly should travel themselves and show off their diplomatic skills off to the world and clean up all these wars .

Meanwhile in other parts of the world, could we be looking at a potential second invasion of a country in 2022?

Where is the iffy face gone to

Russia pulling out of the CoE it seems.

From another source I see the Foreign Minister stated:-

"Russia will not participate in the transformation by NATO and the EU obediently following them of the oldest European organization into another platform for incantations about Western superiority and narcissism"

Russian art doesn't express any kind of jingoism or militarism that I'm aware of.

Tolstoy became a pacifist after his experiences in the Crimean war as an artillery officer.

You are trying to derail the thread with Kremlin bot nonsense and off topic fantasy.

Probably your job.

I think that it was a bit of kite flying by the minister / to be seen to be doing something/ to remain relevant . Anybody with a basic grasp of Irish agriculture would know fairly fast that the idea is a non runner . Some of the more informed boardies here have stated why it’s not on . It was a totally different set of circumstances during the Second World War when , from what I understand , every farmer was , by emergency law ‘obliged to grow a certain acreage of a grain crop . International trading was not as developed then as it is now . So we play to our strengths export our surplus, earn foreign exchange and use it to import what we want . Ukraine is not the only country that produces the type of grain we need . What the minister should be doing, along with I’ll other relevant ministers - probably them all- is to set up is to set up a committee on the basis of a wartime footing and if an emergency exists and go from there

This committee - could be cross party- should look at every aspect of the economy/ government business and how this war may impact on it but ESPECIALLY indicate the kind of things we can do for ourselves
