Given that the plan is push west to to landlock Ukraine (which would effectively result in it becoming a failed state, with no port access) it’ll be no surprise that we start seeing more and more news about Moldova
Ah sure you're Irish. You wouldn't understand according to the experts. Something something historical or something 🤔
in other russian news today, Russia bombs part of Idlib
they are a force for such good in the world
syria will become another belarus
Russia. A great bunch of lads.
Bald and Bankrupt, who's done many great videos from Russia and neighbouring countries, is currently in Syria, as It happens. Don't remember if he got to Idlib, but the video shows once again that even in lands riven by war, people do their best just to carry on with life as normal.
We spent today with a Ukrainian family who had to flee their country. An 11 year old Ukrainian lad posted a request on Facebook - Ukrainians in Limerick - asking about fishing shops in Limerick. Long story short, we brought him to https://fishinginireland.info/tackleshops/clare/name/shannonside-bait-and-tackle/ where he picked out what he wanted and the wonderful owner of the shop, Mike Kiely, gave him everything he chose, for free. He, his brother and sister are living in the Maldron hotel in Limerick, attending Le Cheile school . Their aunt was was with us and she has perfect English. She is from Kherson. She cried in our car today. She doesn't know but thinks that her home has been bombed.
Well bleeding doesn't seem to stop them much so I can sort of see why:
Then there's all the footage of them blowing up numerous large hunks of metal that used to move and have orcs inside.
Looks like the supposed plot to kill Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov was a load of fabricated nonsense by the FSB, in an attempt to smear Ukraine. Journalists who have investigated the claims found numerous discrepancies in the version and video put out by state media.
I don't think the Russian military in Transnistria would dare try anything unless the actual Russian army was very near to the border. They'd get spanked if they tried to act alone.
To follow on from this, the hilarious part is yet again the laughable incompetence of these clowns. In a video they showed a few pristine looking Ukrainian passports that would indicate they clearly haven't been used before (i.e. fabricated), they depict some t-shirts with swastika's on them where the straight crease marks can be seen, indicating they had just been shipped and came straight out of a package, never worn.
Most stupidly however was in the video they bizarrely showed a three copies of The Sims computer games - many strongly suspect this as a total fcuk up as instructions were no doubt for them to stage SIM cards! Absolute fcukwits must have got their wires crossed and took it literally as The Sims computer games LOL! Even more embarrassing, they show an inscription in a book that is signed off as "Signature unclear" - again these fools misunderstood the instructions, probably reported it back but somehow this was never corrected.
I'd say a few FSB agents are currently on their way to the gulag for those fcuk ups!
Russian FSB Spies Hilariously Screw Up Vladimir Putin’s ‘Assassination Plot’ Claim (thedailybeast.com)
Was the guy they pinned to the floor wearing underwear saying "Lucky Panties"??
I think that's what I saw.
Hilarious!
Yup! It seems he was.
Can't afford some Calvin Klein, Ralf Lauren or the $$$$$ stuff Putin wears. Got to settle for "Lucky Panties" instead.
I wonder, will his girlfriend/wife/mother recognise him by this and the shorts.
Meanwhile the brewery that had been scheduled to hold a FSB piss up has burned down due to a chip pan fire.
I wonder whats going to mysteriously blow itself up or go on on fire today in Russia 🤔
Just to point out, I'm currently living in Germany. They take their bakeries seriously and I've never seen queue jumping in one. :D
But yeah, Germany collectivized the guilt of the nazi crimes. They're all too aware of what happened. It's why there's so much support for Ukraine. I've seem multiple protest marches on the same day in support of Ukraine. At the same time they're well aware of what it means if German troops or weapons roll east.
It's very interesting reading the Russian comments on that channel. They don't seem to be falling for the bull.
To Russia, 'domestic groups' just means a foreign countries legitimate army.
Exactly. The country is in a confused state, as seen by the mixed messages coming from within the coalition. Unfortunately, the result seems to be a kind of paralysis. Understanding the historical reasons for it doesn't mean condoning it.
Either that, or the government is too busy drafting new legislation for queuing in bakeries...the anarchy can't go on...
Really hit a nerve there I think. You'd swear some were been accused of war crimes rather than some of the documented realities of queuing in general (not just 'bakeries) there lol. It would appear same don't like any criticism regardless
On a serious note, I don't believe that Germany sending heavy weapons to Ukraine, (like other countries have been doing) spells out anything different for it as a country compared to any other. Remember in world war II Germany fought both with and against Russia. Collective guilt regardless, there is an evident disconnect between support for Ukraine on the street and what is happening at government levels where promises are being made and then backfooted.
And no one has asked Germany to send "troops" as far as I know
Video from 2017
The Lavrov comments are disgusting but utterly predictable from such a bully. Basically "let us have our way, or else..."
German guilt over WW2 at this stage verges on narcissism and self indulgence to excuse making to avoid the manageable cost of not aiding Russia in mass murder, to make a virtue out of being too tight to pay for defense etc.
It's just bakeries. It's the only place I've seen them queuing nice and slowly. In a supermarket it's different. You'll be heading for your spot and suddenly two trollies appear out of nowhere rushing to get in ahead of you :)
I know no-one suggested troops but for some germans it's the same thing. And when you consider as a country they were responsible for the worst crimes ever committed on the continent, it's a bit understandable. German identity since the second world war is largely based on not being the Nazis or Prussians. On not being aggressive and not being militaristic.
Weirdly I think Irish people should be able to identify to a certain extend. We're a neutral country. And neutrality is part of our identity. We couldn't imagine sending weapons to another country. People will say it's different but at it's core it's two national identities and their attitudes to conflict.
So you want World War 3 ?
Amazing the way the left are such war mongerers ...
Do you realise what happens if this escalates to WWIII ?
It's the end for us all ...
Looks like the Russians are confused again
You should tell that to Putin.
We are laughing at Russia , ww3 they say ? And how do they plan on taking on the world? With what ? There little rubber dinghy navy and rag tag army already battered and losing in Ukraine.
Laughing stock is what the Russians are at this point and no one is afraid of em 🤣🤣
What ever about the end for us all it LL definitely be the end for the Russians as the west will obliterate them with Nukes.
As previously detailed I've lived in Germany myself and my experiences (including bakeries!) were as in the link. I reckon some as we've seen here, have issue with even the mildest of observations which seem critical of them.
And I'd respectfully disagree. Troops and weapons are certainly not the same thing. A defence of guilt simply makes no sense, where Europe is seeing crimes on that scale not seen since WW2. The best way not to be the nazis or prussians is to stand against the Russians who are now the de facto new nazis. Not handwaving or dithering about will we or won't we. Germany has had no problem previously selling missiles, guns and rocket to Russia following the annexation of Crimea in 2014. I'd expect them to at least have some of the same balls now.
Ireland’s historical neutrality arose out of necessity of being a resource poor small country which didn't have two beans to rub together.
Germany has no such excuse
And I certainly could imagine sending weapons to a country being ethnically cleansed by its neighbour so it could defend itself.
They don't just want to start an illegal war, they want to dictate to everyone how they should respond. Bullying warlocks.
