That's fine, you continue the German=Nazi theme and I continue with Irish=Drunk Wifebeater if you insist in dealing in tired old stereotypes, if that is the level of discussion that you either desire or aren't capable of anything better.
Also, you should be more supportive, Ireland wasn't entirely against the Nazis in WWII there was a very touching book if condolences for Hitler...
I know why,and Poland allready have a backup plan,finished end of this year
It's impressive but alongside Russia's direct threats to the UK and the UK saying they've no problem with their weapons being used to hit targets inside Russia the question has to be asked: at this stage, is this really far removed from being a Russia-NATO war with Ukraine (so far) as the battlefield?
Hopefully Russia backs down. But if it decides to escalate in suicidal fury? Interesting times...
Russians are still deluded thinking they are some kind of Superpower. They are a laughing stock. A cowardly suicide-bomber threatening to detonate whilst holding a pound-shop gun. Pathetic scumbags.
The vicious xenophobia of several posters here says more about them than the countries they keep insulting. Anyone who demonizes whole groups and ignores nuance and difference is really just ignorant, I wouldn't let it get to you.
Well I wasn't far off.
"The Center for Countering Disinformation at the NSDC of Ukraine explains the reasons for Russia's provocations in Transnistria.
Provocations of the horde in Transnistria were carried out by the FSB hordes in order to open an additional front in the Odessa region. This situation will force the Armed Forces to drag forces in this direction, weakening them in the Mykolaiv region.
Transnistria will follow the Belarusian scenario - support for the horde without entering the active phase of the war.
The second reason for provocations is the justification of their actions in Ukraine. By dropping shelling in Tiraspol on the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the horde, "saving their own", justifies the invasion of Ukraine and the deaths of thousands of its soldiers.
Another reason is the withdrawal of attention from Mariupol, where the next mass graves were found on the maps. Thus, the horde "sweeps the traces" of its war crimes and genocide of the Ukrainian people."

Why did Germany start buying gas from Russia in the first place? Did nobody in Germany envisage the possibility of someone in Russia coming to power and looking for revenge for the defeat of the Kremlin in the Cold War, just like a certain Austrian man came to power in Berlin in 1933?
There seems to be a suggestion the next 3 weeks are the decider in this war ,based off the losses Russia has and is still suffering ,
15,000 kia likely higher and overall casualties of 40,000 + they can't keep these losses up forever , especially now they have to redeploy forces to the Finnish border areas to counter nato ,if the loses keep at the current rate the Russian army could collapse and not just in Ukraine
I doubt it. I think they would just hope Moldova would satisfy the horde.
Idiots who like to talk up history as a worthy teacher of lessons need to explain how appeasing Putin's going, as a proof of the concept.
Since the late fifties Germany has been building economic links with Russia, started buying a lot of gas in the 70's. Kept flowing the entire Cold war. On Feb 24th this year, Putin has effectively undone all of that. Although some Germans are still having difficulty accepting reality.
The first time I heard about Russian gas going to Europe I knew instinctively it would be a bad idea. That was a long time ago. But these gas deals are made by business people rather than politicians.
In the early 80s, as the USSR was completing a pipe from Siberia to Western Europe, a CIA memo to Reagan concluded that the project would result in a long term strategic and security threat to Europe.
The US mounted a technology and economic embargo against the pipe, which West Germany -deep in the throes of Ostpolotik- rejected, and eventually, West German interests won out.
The question that needs to be asked is why there was no hell raised in Germany when Gerhard Schroeder started working for Russian energy companies.
I laughed...there's a few that have posted in the past who could draft Ireland's condolences on the death of Putin if he really is ill and declining as people keep speculating! Probably write a eulogy that would draw a tear from a stone!
Most neutrals would say that a neutral country that was attacked by an aggressive and criminal regime neighbour has every right to strike targets inside the territory of that neighbour (let's not forget that Russia ended up invading Germany in 1945 in direct response to having been invaded itself by them). And as far as I know, supplying weapons and intel to a country you regard as friendly is perfectly legal in international law.
The Russian media are absolutely bonkers.
Another warning to those dragging their heels. All efforts must be made to decouple from Russian energy asap
They're a fascinating mix of total arrogance and conceit wrapped up in a huge inferiority complex. Probably the whole war can be explained though this - a deluded country, not knowing its place in the world.
Just watching Putin with UN Secretary General here.
He looked like he was gonna go for the throat ; something about Kosovo and then appeared to get a bit confused, Paused and then went off on a waffle about Mariupol. He’s a bit all over the place here.
Hes a great lad for talking absolutely Pony, I will give him that. He’s clearly drinking his own coolaid, pissing in a glass an drinking it again.
He's gone from playing chess, to playing poker to playing... I don't know, Buckaroo or something.
Or not give enough time for the laser to be detected by the tanks as they can detect lasers?
I read this fella and his team were eventually ambushed by the Russians and killed.
True but at the same time the same he green lit the sale of American grain that the Carter administration had previously embargoed due to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
Politicians do what they believe will be best for them personally or economically for their county. Often the former is the one which matters most.
Is there a clip of this ?
And one Le Pen.
I know how to defeat the horde, thanks to you! Next time Lavrov opens his vile jowl shrouded facial orifice and threatens the one sided nuclear conflict that will deliver a consequence free win to the horde, tell him to go ahead, as we have actually been looking forward to an excuse for unleashing and trying out the secret gay/lesbian rat bombs.
Each munition releases a small horde of rats that have been genetically altered so they have a manic and insatiable desire to savage humans. These rats in turn carry a human transmissible virus which targets the brain and turns any male victim gay and stimulates their libido immensely, to the point they go on male raping rampages. Female victims become lesbians and radical feminists.
And best of all, the virus is genetically selective so as to only affect slavs, which their own idiocy driven propaganda considers both to be possible and to exclude Ukrainians.
That should play to a slew of Vlads more noticeable phobias.
Imagine their acute dilemma as to whether to counter the obvious nonsense that echos their own, or to try and exploit it.

Probably the same reasons why we didnt raise hell over Taoiseach Charlies Haughey's corruption, embezzlement, tax evasion etc.....
The Black Sea is an obvious non NATO air corridor and route.
This isn't a good sign
