Russia - threadbanned users in OP

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.

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.

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.

I was thinking that he must be hitting bugger all but there's the psychological effect too. They say that when "Ma Deuce" speaks, everyone listens.

😁

Cattle rustling has disappeared, its negligible for decades now. The last attempt I heard of was 6 cattle in Mayo a few years back and a couple of single cattle in Cavan about a decade ago. Hay/Straw, in all honestly good luck to the lad who does that, the transport loading unloading would make it a fairly uneconomic criminal venture.

Machinery theft, absolutely, very very common.

The point is the above activities are all criminal and crimes are reported, investigated and prosecuted here and all accross the EU. In Ukraine crimes were organised at the behest and for the profit of Russian criminals, the police being controlled by political class in turn controlled by Russia ignored crime and corruption.

Ukrainians made a decision to end this, move towards a more western less corrupt Government structure as necessitated by EU membership and Russia reacted to the potential loss of income from the government sponsored criminal enterprises in Ukraine.

In short

Ukraine, Russian controlled, corrupt = Russian profit, happy Russia/impoverished Ukraine.

Ukraine, Ukrainian controlled, not corrupt = Ukraine profit, less impoverished Ukrainians. Happy Ukrainians/Angry Russia Government/Criminals.

6 Cattle taken and recovered the next day. Trying to compare small scale crime in the EU or advanced economies to Russia mafia in Ukraine is laughable.

We have a cattle herd of what 7 million head? I would be shocked if more then 100 disappeared in a year and its more likely to be in single figures in a year. If that were in Russian controlled Ukraine you would be talking industrial scale theft of hundreds of thousands year.

looks like they tried to drive through a body of water

I said negiable, and negiable in the context of Ukraine of the scale of corruption in pre 2014 Russian controlled Ukraine.

So you first cherry picked something I said, then changed what I actually said, then took away the context.

Please reread what I said before responding with nonsense.

You have brought up 6 cattle that were recovered the next day out of a herd of 7,000,000. You are being ridiculous.
