The EU has to stand on some sort of principle of collective consent. If it gets rid of vetoes and unanimous approval, it just gives plenty of ammo to those saying the EU is really just a couple of large European countries dictating terms to the rest, and it would bring the whole thing crashing down. Something that China and Russia would be rather interested in seeing happening.
Documentary on Navalny tonight. 9pm BBC2
Yeah, for a second I forgot what forum I was in and that one should expect posts from 13 year olds.
The Azov are scary according to this fellow https://twitter.com/ukraine_world/status/1518643048753901568?s=20&t=jpXczfojcoNclDQ_ruESNw
I get the feeling that every Ukrainian soldier is Azov. Despite numbering a few hundred to a thousand members the Russians are making it out like Azov is a huge army.
Tired, hungry and fed fear mongering propaganda whilst watching their comrades get picked off.
WTF?
Well you're the one bringing in "Irish drunken terrorists" 🤷♂️
worst kept secret
Wow this thread really went down the shi**er this afternoon didn't it
It's been down there for weeks.
More derailed armoured vehicles being late to Putins party
Also in Bryansk
God bless Twitter
😂🤣🤣
It's been spiralling, in the whirlpool of **** toilet water. Dipped in a few times at the start of the war when the apologists were around.
It's bad, but not as bad as p.ie. At least the apologists here have some sort of pretense - over there they are blatant and downright ridiculous
(and tolerated)
Thank God one or two sane minds still posting here. I don't think most Irish people quite understand how headlines like "German tanks facing off Russian tanks in Ukraine" would resonate in both Germany and Russia for historical reasons and what massive propaganda the Russians would get from it.
Doesn't mean Scholz is doing a good job. He isn't. But there is more to it than Germans being bakery-queue jumping Nazis as the dregs here have been insisting.
transnistria bombings, is Moldova being dragged into the war?
Lavrov - WW3 could be beginning, but Russia will be broke and with no toys left
I don't think most Irish people quite understand how headlines like "German tanks facing off Russian tanks in Ukraine" would resonate in both Germany and Russia for historical reasons and what massive propaganda the Russians would get from it.
How about German missiles, guns and rocket being used by Russian forces, facing off against the Ukrainians?
Let's not forget Germany, France and others countries who have sold military equipment including missiles, guns and rockets to Putin's regime despite an arms embargo against Russia after the annexation of Crimea in 2014
And yeah I reckon "Irish people" understand that all too well. Even those of which you choose to label "dregs"
And I see again an issue with even the smallest observation being made about Germany, fluffed up as if that somehow makes Germans "Nazis". God help us that anyone should be in any way critical of anything there.
It is indeed unfortunate that the "one or two sane minds still posting here" are certainly not evident in that type of daft exaggeration for sure.
Another day and another abject failure by Mr. Putin and his forces to make any real headway at all. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Same thing happened in Crimea, referendum to rejoin Russia or face extreme violence at the hands of the Russian military
Russia wants Kherson for the canal to Crimea. If any attack on Kherson they will probably then say its an attack on Russia so you see where it leads to
Don't think it was mentioned earlier but explosions for the second time today in Transnistria Moldova ,the first explosion was plastered all over Kremlin media
Sounds like standard Maskirovka, Russians hoping Ukraine will move some troops to the border so that they'll be unavailable elsewhere.
It really boils my balls when people use this stupid fuckin 'optics' argument to avoid doing the right thing. That's the whole reason the Russians have the west over a barrel, because we're to afraid to hurt some poor saps feelings.
When it comes to Russia, the only optics we should be taking about are the ones on top of a rifle.
The danger of a world war is real, he said. “The danger is serious, it is real, you can’t underestimate it,” Lavrov told the Interfax news agency.
Is he conveniently forgetting who started all this??? Also throw in some nuclear threats...
I remeber when he started the war he gave a speech to the world that went something like interfere with us in ukraine and we will use our nukes on you. This guy has totally changed nukes from been a defensive weapon to giving himself free reign to do whatever he wants.
Seems to be the case have a read
