That happens in Ireland also. Eg cattle rustling, baled hay/straw gone missing, stolen machinery, tc.

Looking at the reports coming out of this Kharkiv counteroffensive the Russians are leaving a lot of kit intact that has been captured. A full battery of Msta-S Self propelled howitzers with ammo captured for example. Not only are they getting routed they are leaving weapons systems with ammo behind that will be turned around and used on them.
There are rumblings of criticism against the NovoFuhrer in the Kremlin. If this continues its only a matter of when the putsch happens not if it will.
Hmmm, an intercounty football discussion!?!?
We are in danger of entering into an area of genuine dispute, injustices, rivalry, and historic hatreds instead of discussing those invented reasons dreamt up and propogandised by Russia in order to invade innocent neighbours.
That was not the goal that made 2010 the exception. It was the 5 goals the Dubs conceded, not the Goal that should have been a penalty against Louth.
Wow, never thought the Dubs would get dragged into this.
And it's 12 years of Leinster hammerings.
17 in 18 years, 2010 the exception, when Joe Sheridan breached the Geneva convention when scoring a injury time try disguised as a goal.
Looking at the last couple of days, it’s still not too late for Ukraine to Surrender to Russian troops…
if they can find any that is 😂😂😂
Why am I surprised a man who loves seeing the strongest most resourced GAA county dominate and wants to see the unequal funding continue shill out in support of Russia. I always did say those dubs who've enjoyed going to 10 year's of Leinster championship hammerings would make good dictator's. It's Just a similar mentality.
Ps. They do have a hope of winning because the underdogs in this case are getting better resources and funding. And guess what just like the GAA money and resources does effect the outcome.
Long live the underdogs and long live Ukraine.
How the hell do they manage to drown three vehicles which float?
History has also constantly shown that sometimes a problem is only solved by sufficient application of high explosive. Not always. There are four elements of national power, military is only one of them. But sometimes you just have to use the Army.
There's an saying around these parts (I'm in Texas), "nothing wrong with killing as long as the right people are getting killed." Made famous by Dirty Harry in Magnum Force (he uses the word 'shooting'), but the concept didn't originate in the movies.
I think we all agree that loss of life is unfortunate. Needless loss of life is a tragedy. From the Ukrainian perspective, however, it is not needless, they were the ones who got invaded. You have the right to use force to remove an intruder from your house. That applies to the national level as well. Easy way for the killing to stop is for the Russians to go back across the border, and that doesn't require back-channel communication, it's been made extremely clear. They started it, they can finish it just as easily.
Nuclear strike on your neighbor is the ultimate own goal. You think America would nuke Mexico if they tried to invade the south. Obviously not as the fallout would affect them.
If they nuke the West of Ukraine to try minimise the effect on Russia they effectively nuke Poland also thanks to the fallout and thus NATO joins in.
I get it's possible but nuking a country that border's Western Russia where most of the upper class live is not a wise move.
Was that before or after HARM missiles arrived
I guess you dont know what suppressive fire means?or fire and movement?
Ehh, no. It's wildly inaccurate. It's not hitting **** there.
Nah there would be zero recoil as it's part of the body of the platform over excitement maybe the issue. spraying 50c all around puts heads down fast too. you seen that he hit's every building. that's a round coming through the wall.
It seems like you'd have to get lucky firing like that as the Humvee jolts your aim around randomly. Seemed like a lot of wasted ammo but may it was a tactic to use speed.
Some multi tasking there. Guy cool as cool runs out of 50c starts using Some rocket system To small for nlaw not sure if it's them nordic ones. Has English on it but would wager that's NATO default marking system. Ducks down can hear the rattle of bullets off the turret.
Hmmm English speakers ? Maybe the only common language between Ukraine and Foreign fighters ? The accents are def not UK.
Russian AAA systems have been shown up everytime they've faced serious opposition.
Some of us were saying they were garbage from the start but you know the ones that were seen look nice. Maintain the 5-10 used for parades. Trouser the money for the others. weld a load of water heaters together for main body of the missile and so on.
next month the bad weather will be back again and either side wont be able to do much so Ukraine only have this month to mount an offensive or else its back to a stalemate until next year
This seems to be the theory peddled by the likes of Claire Daly and others. But it never really gets picked apart.
Remember Mariupol? The death toll their is looking to be massive, the place absolutely raised to the ground, yet many Ukrainians stayed and fought against hopeless odds and held out for a long time.
Just my theory but I believe if the west never sent any weapons, and left the Ukranians to their own defence, we would be now looking at far more cities and towns, perhaps even Kyiv raised to the ground something like Mariupol was, I dont believe the Ukranians would have surrendered, they may have kept fighting but with far greater destruction and casualties on the Ukrainian side. I think its a real possibility their would be far greater loss of life, along with far more raping, looting and the likes from the Russians had the west not helped supply advanced weapons.
Frontal collapse........ sounds medical, and painful......
I see Clare Daly has a boards account.
This position is of course a ridiculous one. There would of course have been lots more death and suffering of Ukrainians if Russia had rolled in and taken over.
You are correct that there will be more deaths this way, the difference is that most of them will be russians, those who have fallen either for putins propaganda or too afraid to speak up about the regime (lest they fall out a window).
There is however posters that like to wind up other posters with this nonsense every few weeks (tonesjones is attempting this antics on the hunter thread).
Hi Gormdubhgorm.
I don't know if you'll see this but I think someone who hates you has hacked your account and is posting really stupid stuff with your username. Most likely wants to make you look like a right eejit and likely sociopath. This appears fairly targeted so it's most likely someone you know.
You should check your recovery email to ensure that they haven't changed it and then change your password on boards.ie. It might be worth checking any other social media accounts because he or she might already be on those posting furry porn under your username.
Take care.
I'd say that if after the shooting stops they're still serious about EU membership, they'll be in the light of a very strong spotlight. The EU will surely be wary of the prospect of assimilating another Hungary and even Poland, who don't seem to have grasped that when in the EU, you get stuff but you also give stuff up. However, if cronysim and corruption can be linked with the old Russian/Soviet way of doing things, that might help the process.
It's been 20ish years since Raytheon, Lockheed and the rest have had an opportunity to showcase their latest equipment on a global stage. It'll probably turn out to be the greatest political victory for the US since WW2
Russian troops have drowned 3 APCs while fleeing Kharkiv region
And I guess, that there are Countries who are only too happy to have a way to dispose of their obsolete weapons and kill the murderous Russian ORC's at the same time. Unexpected bonus.
I believe you might be very naïve. This is the most fantastic war America has ever had to fight. They haven't had to commit a single boot on the ground and by proxy they have their decades-old arch enemy committed to fighting in a tiny corner of Europe with all of their available piece-meal resources. This war was manor from heaven for the Yanks and they are going to prolong it to their advantage. Their whole armaments industry's order books are filling up. The likes of India who have been buying RU military hardware over the decades are going to have to switch suppliers now that they realise their military equipment is deficient compared to American suppled Pakistani purchases. The EU is going to have to finance military budgets in excesses of their spending on education on American hardware to meet their new NATO commitments. There's only going to be one winner after this military blunder.
Correct, increased delivery of weapons for Ukraine brings a more swift military defeat to russia. mr putrids mafia state needs to be put back in it's box forcibly. There are no better people to defend Ukraine than Ukrainians, all they need is the tools & support and they'll do the job.
We all saw what the progress was like in areas where the Russians took control....murderous rapist evil barstewards.....and even worse. No thanks gormdubhgorm,,,supply Ukraine with even more weapons and materials, as quick as possible, enough to end the war completely. Thats the way to go to minimize the death and destruction, push the Russians out of Ukraine completely, inc Crimea and in such a way that they will never again even think of invading any other Country. Appeasement and deals are not even on the table, nor should they be ( unless you want Ukraine "denazication Mk 2 a few years or less down the road.)
