"Its time to send them packing and back to their motherland because they certainly are at best sympathisers for the war and the war crimes being committed." Your words.
Do you have the courage to back this up? You were literally calling for the mass deportations of Russian people. Lets discuss that, because that's why I decided to post on this thread. You honestly believe it's OK to mass deport people legally living in Ireland because of their nationality? What about permanent residents, EU Family members and those with dual nationality?
What about Ukrainians (from Crimea and the Donbass) who live in Ireland and happen to support the pro Russian side? They do exist, so what would you do with those Ukrainians?
It strikes me that many Russian citizens abroad are probably afraid of the regime in fact. Let's imagine that one of them went on RTE News and criticised Putin and also gave their full name - they would immediately be fearful (rightly or wrongly) of the Russian embassy in Dublin taking notes and then the FSB going after their relatives back home.

They are afraid but they do support it, some openly with their Z and V parades, some others quietly. Not all of course, but a significant majority do.
Gereral Pavel enters the battle.He was brought to Ukraine by cargo plane and it seems he has already eaten most of the stolen grain.He may be used a pontoon to cross the Siverski Donets river.

Without a shadow of a doubt. The Z guys and those with Russian flags would be right wing Russian nationalists and Putin supporters - a lot of those keeping their heads down are probably against the war and Putin and are afraid to identify themselves publicly (perhaps with good reason....it's anyone's guess what that crowd in the large Russian embassy with all their equipment are up to).
Not all of course, but a significant majority do.
Have you even the slightest bit of proof of this? About as much truth to that as to the idea that most Ukrainians revere Stefan Bandera
General Pavlova more like...
I doubt someone with a Russian flag could be considered a right wing nationalist simply for showing a flag, it depends on the context of course. Putin doesn't own the flag nor does he own 'Russian-ness' and not every aspect of expression of Russian identity is in the context of this conflict. It's possible for Russian people to love their country, culture, history, language etc. and be anti-Putin.
For example, celebrating Russian victory day by wearing an orange and black stripe does not make someone a nationalist. It's akin to the Brits poppy mania that comes round every year.
People with a Z on display are a different story, as there is only one meaning for that.
If he gets hit by some Artillery...
Bad news breaking - looks like the regime has attacked a busy and packed shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk with missiles.
They're not even trying to hide the committing of deliberate war crimes any longer.
Could be a mass casualty event. No way its accidental. Brought to you by the same people who blow up hospitals and schools.

The first thing that occurs to me is that the G7 meeting is still on and has not yet concluded (meaning more than likely that the Kremlin dictator personally ordered this atrocity).
Ease off on the vitriol, this is not all about you. Many of our own acquaintance offer no opinions on anything from one end of the week to the next but anybody Russian who does not agree with you deserves a hairdryer treatment.
Horrific scences from Kremenchuck. Apalling.
Remember this the next time some chucklehead logs in to the site and starts pumping out a fascist apologia for Russia.
It's a terrorist state supported by fans of terrorism and mayhem. Anyone who actively supports them is a potential security risk to the country they are living in - it would scarcely be any different to people cheering on ISIS.
Jesus that nasty Bandera guy really has done some heavy lifting since Russia started sending out armies for some Lebensraum. Forget what a rotten egg Putin and modern Russian state is (morally down there in the sewer with ISIS). Never Forget BAndeRA (or find out about him if like me you knew nothing!).
Pathetic "look a squirrel!" stuff.
...what?
Putin's desperation knows no bounds.... clearly he is looking for help where ever he can. Leaving his bunker... well, we can expect to see him sweating and looking over his shoulder a lot! A tenner says he will get shafted while overland and might end up looking for a safe haven where ever he finds himself.
It's also possible it is a missile that was within 15km of its target, Kremenchuk has Ukraine's largest oil refinery.
The chances of it accidentally hitting a packed shopping mall would surely be remote. It would be like a missile being fired at Dublin from many miles away and somehow it just happens to hit the St. Stephen's Green shopping centre or the Ilac Centre.
Not all of what they are firing now is accurate. I'm not offering any defence of it just a possible explanation.
For sure but you would expect a misfiring missile to land somewhere totally random like the middle of a park or a road or hit a random apartment block.
I'm pretty sure too that the regime bombed at least one or two shopping malls at night time in Kyiv in the early days of the war.
Valid reason as any to be fair.
He looks like a man that could tip the balance.
Another unexpected Putin aim achieved.
And where was any "one guy" mentioned in my comment?
Still setting up strawmen I see
thats some shot
Two weeks ago the Russians were more concerned about their new Macdonald's opening in Moscow, rather than their war crimes, not to mention the tens of thousands of their own soldiers dead as well.
Tells me all I need to know about these people.
This is written by Igor Girkin.He is a russian terrorist that has a lot of blood on his hands but he gives a view of the war from the russian side without much propaganda so that is why I'm posting the words of this enemy.
"The current battle is ending with tactical successes of RF AF, but strategically, in general it is unsuccessful since by the 5th month of SMO the group of UAF in Donbas is still not defeated, likewise it was not pushed out of the majority of its positions."
"In July-August a lot will be decided after deployment of reserves from both sides. The time is working both against the so-called “Ukraine” and the RF. But against the RF, the time is working harder. Especially considering how the Russian political authorities seduced by local (and very expensive) successes are critically slowly realising the necessity of putting the country’s economy onto “war rails”."
