Life goes on for the majority. Most people i know don't care about what's going on in Ukraine as horrible as that seems.
They have a variant that's Mounted on to a boxer 6x6 chassis, others similar systems can be mounted on to flat bed trucks,
After this is all settled you can bet anything they will start popping up across multiple countries in especially vehicle mounted systems
Cool story bro.
Well, take about stating the obvious...
looks like another Madver Putin masterplan is doomed to fail.
quote
General Sergei Shurokin, nicknamed “General Armageddon” by colleagues, all suggest a growing frustration bordering on fear that the Russian people may begin noticing what has long been blindingly obvious: Putin is losing.
Russia (USSR) supported the ANC during the apartheid era.
It trained them militarily, provided education and financial support. So the ANC government feels beholdened to them. Old pals.
There's also BRICS.
"BRICS is the acronym coined to associate five major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Since 2009, the governments of the BRICS states have met annually at formal summits. China hosted the most recent 14th BRICS summit on 24 July 2022 virtually. "
As you can see, they're all a*sh*les.
Don't think there has been a single demonstration of sympathy for the Ukrainian plight or even a protest outside the Russian embassy by those Russians living here. All we saw was that gowl of a mechanic in Kildare with his Z Jeep.
In fact, my work colleagues had to endure the ranting of an Irish colleague at the start of the war, who defended Putin and his invasion of Ukraine( he's a great leader....... Ukraine isn't even a real country), all because his Moscow born wife told him so. I've no sympathy for Russian people, whether here or in their own country. They are coming across as pretty cowardly IMO.
Set up an online petition for your fellow Russians in Ireland condemning Putin and condemning the invasion of Ukraine.
I'm assuming that Nitrofert isn't an Irish company and is instead part of NitroFert AS group owned by this guy?

Fighting is getting closer and closer to the Luhansk hub city of Svatove. It's been under Russian occupation since the 6th March.
How do you arrive at that preposterous conclusion? Many other countries have sanctioned Oligarchs and seized Yachts, Including Italy sezing one of Putins 3, but if SA seize this one, half the world will be sanctioned. I'd really like to see your chain of thought that leads to such a conclusion.
"We" have come a long way but "we" have left Russian society far behind by any measure.
We should certainly be identifying all Russian citizens here as a precaution. As and if this war escalates, we may yet need to intern them, for their own and our safety.
So today alone we've had execute all Russian soldiers and intern all Russian citizens in Ireland.
Lovely.
Yaaawn!
The OP said to sanction African and other countries that were not sanctioning the Russians themselves. If you sanction every country not totally opposed to Russia you'll be sanctioning a lot of the world
Remember they wanted to hold a pro Z russian event in the phoenix park not so long ago,
I'm only surprised they are not tormenting Ukrainans outside Citywest hotel
It's those whest of Ireland genes in his head!
..
meet in the middle..
Execute All Russian soldiers and just expelling Russian citizens from Ireland would do.
Well they left themselves behind, we can manage without them. No doubt the iron curtain is well and truly down again.
We don't have to rely on them. Back in the 80''s and 70's the only thing I knew about Russia was they had harsh winter's, Rambo got them out of a part of Afghanistan, Rocky beat the Russian that killed Apollo Creed. Aeroflot refueled in Shannon Airport on their way to South America and they liked western clothes. They could wipe us out at the press of a button, that was it, and if it goes that way again I couldn't give a shite to be honest.
They aren't ready for integration into the western way of life. They tried but it just didn't work out and they fucked up with their invasion of Ukraine. They underestimated the courage and will of the Ukrainians. Maybe they'll come to a settlement, maybe it'll drag on for years.
Here's some guys who had enough...
At least Russian top brass had well warned The West this was happening. Could have spooked some.
How are you able to post so often? I thought out Whest you had to drive 20 miles to get a signal!
the funny thing is that most of the world outside the west is not ready for integration into the western way of life but we keep taking them in 😂
You can't just execute soldiers, do you not understand that. Just because Russia doesn't respect international conventions it doesn't mean the west are going to do likewise. I don't think expelling Russians is a good idea either. Where does that stop? Should we start expelling Iranians because of what Iran is doing? What about Chinese because of what Xi is doing to the Uighur's? I know 2 Russians living here in Dundrum in my estate and both despise what is happening in Ukraine but you'd have them sent back to Moscow anyway?
I know it's savage stuff isn't it. Although they are probably more than likely through their mobile phones were metaphorically lobotomized.
They latch onto the latest thing and sensibility goes out the window. The sort of mindset medical journals are written about. Or went down in history as never again...
Leave them off, no point in trying to reason with them.
You're saying it right, I like your schelp. Obviously your tinder match out west is using that as an excuse for when you're waiting for a response...
Way out wesht, we're simply the besht :)
69, 70, 67, 72 and 69. All cut from similar cloth and all almost the same age. OK Boomer
All of them? Even the ones that are following orders and not committing war crimes? I personally find your attitude unbalanced but I appreciate your honesty. I suspect many would prefer to be anywhere else and see it as a pointless and unjust war. What happens to defectors in the Russian army?
I am reminded of Vladimir Gelfand who wrote about the "Rape of Berlin" which Russian denied and the West turned a blind eye to. To be fair the Americans were doing it too but not at the Russian levels.
We've no problem whatsoever with you coming west and supporting the local economy.
Our Ukrainian brothers and sisters are happy out here. I made friends with a lad from the Ukraine and have seen him catch his first bass last weekend in Fanore. Nice lad, quite efficient with a bait caster. I even ordered one on Amazon I was so impressed.
He's staying in Lisdoonvarna, has a job here he's happy to be in the wesht and falling in love with our culture out wesht.
Oh god, you're not on tinder are you. Then again anyone from the whest who grew up with a mirror in the house and didn't get embarrassed is up for anything!
