Hey, can we meet up? I've got some great ideas too. Let's get all the outboard engines in the world and put them all in one place. Then, when that place is furthest away from the moon, we can fire them all up, crash the earth into the moon and release all it's cosmic consciousness.
Putin is an evil, crazed psychopath who doesn't care that we all know he's a liar as well.
South Africa....a beacon etc etc. Actually a total sh*thole.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday blamed NATO for the war in Ukraine and said he would resist calls to condemn Russia, in comments that cast doubt over whether he would be accepted by Ukraine or the West as a mediator.
Yes, I think generally what I am trying to say is that I find it so difficult to Believe that nobody, especially MEPs have ever been approached, ever. It has never happened.
Because if it did happen, they would report it. Or......the approach was successful.
A bit like watching the Olympics and nobody failed a drugs test. That's when you get worried.
Don't underestimate the ability of Russians to suffer. They're hardened to it.

You asked and it’s back!
Servant of the People is once again available on Netflix in The US. The 2015 satirical comedy series stars Volodymyr Zelenskyy playing a teacher who unexpectedly becomes President after a video of him complaining about corruption suddenly goes viral. https://t.co/Pp9f48jutF https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1504064948305080327?s=20&t=qGiHkG048lA1FLYDEsi7mQ
Just checked, not on irish one just yet
Lol i seen Mugabe was saying same the other day,another War criminal and human rights beacon
Yes, but usually that country invaded only the actual region it wishes to take control of (as happened in Crimes in 2014). What is extraordinary about this year is that Russia has invaded the entire country of Ukraine (a nation of some 40m people) whilst 'claiming' to be only concerned about what is happening in the Donbass region. This by it's very self makes it highly unlikely that Ukraine would ever cede the Donbass to them.
Ireland functions on the principle of never wanting to confirm uncomfortable truths so it doesn't have to deal with them, as it's running out of carpets to sweep them under.
That Ireland is aiding and abetting the Russian war effort against Ukraine by allowing a major Russian intelligence operation to operate on it's tarnished soil, is an utter disgrace.
I guess their fancy Era secure communications system works as well as their other high-tech stuff.
Is he still running his mouth? he died 3 years ago 😂
You should have seen them before they invasion. They would only talk about Iraq, they could write a single post without deflecting to Iraq, you swear that Iraq was invading Ukraine.
Do you really need to post pictures of people mourning beside bloodied bodies? My heart goes out to the poor victims, but it's tasteless. Post link if you have to, but not the image
The bould Bobby Mugabe cheering terrorism from the grave? No surprise there.
Yet poisoning Putin wouldn’t be an easy task. According to a source who works in the upper echelons of a Russian ministry, Putin in February allegedly sacked the some 1,000 people—from cooks to launderers to secretaries to bodyguards—who catered to his daily personal and professional needs, and replaced them with a new group of attendants.
The former DGSE black-operations planner says any hit on Putin most likely will have someone in his inner circle, or a phantom just outside the perimeter, as the trigger man. “It will be an expensive job, a fortune,” he says. “In my experience, I’d wager an asset is already in place. There always is.”
I get the feeling It's more Nato is helping in that department, rather than just the Ukrainians , but something that was mentioned earlier In the thread was Russian comms relies on 3/4 g network but they have been destroying the Ukrainans cell towers , something they need themselves,
So it's plausible they are using unscramble cell phones to communicate
They will have some job persuading Ukrainians of their helpful bona-fides, when very early on Imran Khan paid a personal and highly publicized visit to Putin , pledging his support to Russia.
I agree 100%.
Russia doesn't "control half the world's food supply". As for your claim of Russia controlling "90% of the world's material to make micro chips", I presume you are referring to Ukraine's neon, which exports over 50% of the supply used in chip manufacturing lasers. Yeah that has already had an impact, but Taiwan has reserves and see's no short term issues and the US/Japan are going to work on creating more supply.
I never mentioned adidas trainers or Facebook, I mentioned, for example, the hundreds of billions of Russia foreign reserves that are now locked up that can't protect the Rouble or the fact that the Russian GDP (already lower than Italy) is predicted to contract 7% to 10% in the coming year. That's just the average, the less conservative estimates put potential inflation in Russia as high as 40%, gdp contraction up to 23% and rub to usd at 130 by end 2022. Either way, very grim.
The Kremlin has just rushed a whole bunch of desperation laws through the Duma, one of which literally allows the state to plunder Russian's bank accounts, and that was only 2 weeks in, that's panic. The world is going to take an economic hit from this, but for Russia it's going to be a lot more severe.
I can never understand why people think they should know about the intelligence services in Ireland.
On that just to recap what we're dealing with here.
Not in the last 25-30 years there not ,they have a sizeable number of the population who have never known hard times , especially those raised on western culture and social media
You think that's bad? Hugo Chavez came back from his 2013 death and conspired with Dominion Voting Systems to steal my 2020 election!
(That is a theory which is actually believed by a sizeable number of yanks. I'm not making it up)
You are not representing my views, I'm fine with pics showing the realities of this conflict. They provide necessary material for the formation of valid moral viewpoints.

I'd love to know how they'd plan on invading Bosnia seeing as it's largley surrounded by NATO Members. I very much doubt the Serbs have the appetite to have the Russian Shitshow to roll into town on their doorstep.
Mounting pressure over war crimes growing:
Russia has been accused by Britain, the US, France, Albania, Ireland and Norway of war crimes in Ukraine, as Paris claimed Vladimir Putin was only pretending to be interested in negotiating a peace deal, Daniel Boffey and Dan Sabbagh report.
The six nations challenged Russia before a UN security council meeting as the UK foreign secretary, Liz Truss, said there was now “very, very strong evidence” of war crimes being committed by Russian forces.
“Vladimir Putin is behind them,” Truss said.
It is ultimately a matter for the international criminal court to decide who is or isn’t a war crime and for us to bring the evidence.
Rescue workers continued to search through the rubble for survivors of a Russian airstrike on a theatre in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol where hundreds of people had been sheltering.
Officials said more than 20 people were killed and 25 injured in an airstrike on a school and community centre in Merefa, close to the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s defence, minister, described the pilot who bombed the theatre in Mariupol as a monster. The word “children” had been painted in large Russian script on the ground outside the red-roofed theatre building to warn off fighter jets.
And of course , President Biden is a Catholic and anyone with religious beliefs cannot be trusted, right, Mark??? ( or have you forgotten??? I can find your post expressing exactly these sentiments, if you like, Mark ?
Or
Russia is treated as a belligerent similar to what happened to Japan in WW2
Its nuclear capability + subs are neutralised. And conventional / non conventional means are employed to stop Russia in its tracks. Yes millions will suffer but millions of others will be spared the onslaught of Russian aggression and Putins autocratic belligerence.
Because they are paying the bills and a democracy should be based on the citizenry being informed, otherwise they won't have the right foundation to inform their thinking and their votes.
