I'd like to see Orc state TV show that.
They are what the ignore function is for.
Don’t be playing so Dumb like your living in the 1980’s.
Propaganda does not need traditional media to propagate in the 3rd decade of the 21st century.
It doesn't go unnoticed
Curious to follow some posters here with accounts registered in recent months or so. Wishy washy in terms of condemning Russian atrocities and always trying to subtly or overtly undermine support for Ukraine in countering this invasion. You see it here and on threads related to refugees etc. Where have we heard the likes before - let me think, straight out of the Republican playbook following the abolition of Section 31 here.
Russian propaganda? Last time I checked RT news was banned in Ireland and I am pretty sure the Moscow Times isnt on sale in many corner shops in Dublin.
Most people I have met welcome the Ukrainians, plenty have opened up there own homes too.
No that’s not true. I see Irish people putting posts up on Facebook about available Air B and B rooms in places like Kiev , Lviv and other towns in western Ukraine wondering why Ukrainians can’t stay there ffs. I hear people giving out about Ukrainians receiving handouts and saying they bring trouble.They are not just complaining about the volume. They are clearly being targeted by insidious Russian propaganda and it’s got worse over the last few months and caused me to have a heated debate with a close friend recently who was all for Ukraine at the outset of the war. But is now full of misinformation and both sides-ism.
Good, we'll need those for reparations.
Yeah. like they went along with Trumps unilateral dumping of the Iran nuclear deal.
Thats bullshit. Ukranians are welcome here by most of the Irish population, its just the volume coming in we cant sustain thats what people are upset over.

Ah, Grand !!!!☺️
It became highly partisan months ago. Most of the voices I see/hear questioning the mainstream narrative on this conflict, are coming out of the states. Trust in the government is dropping like a stone.
If any sort of damaging evidence gets leaked, say about the pipeline for example, it could be game over as regards significant US support.
Either way, I think the Russians will probably be planning their timing for the results of the mid terms. The dems are very likely going to get a hiding!
As long as you are not a neighbour of Russia i dont think your friends from other regions have anything to worry about.
Try being a neigbour of Russia or a former soviet union state,i am sure they will tell you another story.
Those other 50 countries have no conecern over Russia or are allready depending on russia for trade.
And since Russia is known for its trade wars as well,i am sure they dont want to be part of another.
Belgorod, again-
No not at all... 50 nations did not need to outright back Russia in order for it to be significant. You're being very naive (or possibly deliberately obtuse) to the world of geopolitics.
You can play down their abstentions or choice not to vote if you wish Wibbs. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. But plenty of people consider it to be highly significant.
And this overly simplistic rhetoric of "friends" and "enemies" is again a bit naive. Assuming you're not just deliberately using those terms, to try and make your point seem more legitimate. Many nations vote (or don't vote), based on what they think might be in their interests - possibly even far into the future. And while morality no doubt has some part to play, don't be surprised if our hypocrisy makes our moralizing a bit hard to stomach for some parts of the world.
Besides, I've noticed talking to people in other parts of the world, this conflict is kind of viewed like a regional civil war of sorts. People in the west are far more likely to buy into the hype around WW3 and Putin being a threat to the world. It doesn't seem to have the same resonance in other regions. So perhaps many of these nations, are not prepared to bite off their own nose just to help us slay the latest "baddie" we've cooked up. Our latest crusade is of less interest to them, than their day to day existence.
Ukraine's soldiers are allowed to have smart phones. Russia's are not. Therefore a lot of the breaking news that ends up on Twitter is positive news for Ukraine that either comes originally from those soldier's phones or from the phones of Ukrainian citizens in the area.
If people only posted Tweets showing losses for Ukraine I'd wager that that poster, given their posting history, wouldn't be quite so sniffy about it.
Russians own a lot of properties commerical and lesure,alot of beach front hotels aswell across Greece, similar to cyprus
I’d hate to see your reaction if your boyfriend broke up with you.
”And… And… in 2015 I fantasised about kissing the postman, you revolted me so much!’
Fairly easy to spot the tripe though. Some great feeds from legitimate news sources on Twitter, and then there's the feeds from different experts or official state accounts. Can't understand why you'd completely write off a good live source of information like that.
I fail to see how they can blow the dam and keep the canal.

“Right, but their leaders still represent their nation's interests. Democratically elected or not.”
Has to be one of the thickest posts ever posted on Boards.ie.
Dictators/one party rule merchants doing it in the interests of the people. Do you not get embarrassed bleating that scuter?
Normal logic will not work with Russian's.....so they are not too concerned about destroying anything (and everything, even the Kremlin) rather than let it fall into the hands of the Ukrainians.
Greece is also where a lot of Russian oil is landed these days.
More half truths to suit, though hardly surprising. Even the shallowest dive into the murky world of Russia's online support turns up a seeming allergy to facts, or much by way of a consistent narrative. Let's be clear about the facts here; fifty nations abstained. They neither backed nor supported it. They sat on the fence and cast a vote to not cast a vote one way or the other. Only four other than Russia actively supported not backing the resolution. Four. Hardly the resounding backing you hopelessly cling to. Now if fifty nations had actually cast their vote in support of Russia you might have a point to make, but they didn't and you don't.
You mentioned Brazil. The very B in the BRICS where Russia is apparently soaring, they actively supported backing the resolution. Earlier you were all about Turkey and Edrogan as someone working with Mother Russia and they also actively supported backing the resolution. "Friends" of Mother Russia said nope, feck off with your annexation.
Hopefully, the prevailing (or indeed any) winds, from Ukraine will be heading for Russia.
If they were convinced that they were going to lose Kherson city (located on the West bank of the river) they might decide to blow it up as they leave for a number of reasons:
If Putins invasion triggers WWW3, that will bring it closer to home to Americans all right.
I'm really not sure what you're talking about. Boards rendered the content from that journalist right into the page for me. No clicking of anything required!
