At least they are honest in supporting Russia, lot of other Socialists are discreet about it but are doing their bit.
Russians don’t understand the word “bar” used in that context.
Well in your scenario, where Cork would be given up to bring peace and save thousands of Lives, which is a very noble aspiration ( assuming Cork agrees...) what's to stop the invader after de-nazifying Cork and consolidating his gains and then proceeding with his original plan to de-nazify the rest of the Country? Because that's what would and will happen with Putin. And from proven experience of what happens when Putins murderous hordes occupy an area, the Ukrainians are definitely not going down that path
The Swiss follow their rules to the letter whether it be banking rules or that you can't mow your lawn at lunch time (in some communes). If the amendment requires a referendum then it requires a referendum otherwise someone will block it through the courts. Now as it hits them financially it might get preferential airtime or priority but I doubt that they could cut the time by much more than standard since referendum are booked years in advance.
The following link tries to explain their mentality a little. This is especially true of the Swiss Germans. The french and italian speaking regions are a little less like that and are often frustrated by it.

OK, So everyone in Cork has fucked off as a refugee somewhere and you would be more than happy to tell them all that 'No, you cannot come home when peace is declared because we have given away your homes and land to someone else, tough luck'.
You never told us where your home county is.
Apart from the Million odd Unionists
Acording to Ukr numbers over a 1000 orcs decided to be composted today ...... turns out to be a good day after all
"A comprehensive nationwide survey conducted by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Razumkov Center in mid-December 2022 illustrates this faith in Ukrainian victory while also highlighting nationwide opposition to any compromises with the Kremlin. The poll found that 93 percent of respondents expect Ukraine to win the war, while just three percent expressed doubts. This reflects the growing sense of confidence generated by the successful September 2022 Kharkiv counter-offensive and the November liberation of Kherson, the only regional capital occupied by Russia. By the end of 2022, Ukrainian forces had liberated around 50 percent of the land seized by Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion ten months earlier."

And what do you say other outcomes might be? What if the Russian offensive gathers momentum? What if the troops in that offensive are actually competent and well trained and equipped? What then? And there's talk of all these battletanks being given to Ukraine. Have they arrived yet? They better get there soon. These Ruskis are massing in East Ukraine and there's talk of an offensive as early as next week.
Zaluzhny has requested 300 tanks and massive other quantities of equipment. Do you think that request is going to be answered anytime soon? I don't think the Brit Challengers have even arrived yet.
When it comes to will, Russia will crack sooner rather than Ukraine. If they were in any doubt about what the future would have in store for them, war crimes in Buncha and elsewhere will re-enforce the need for them to fight tooth and nail to get the Russians off their land.
Technically they may not be Main Battle Tanks but welcome nonetheless.
It doesn't matter whether subsistence farming has been extinct for decades or not. The comparison was between a place that produces resources easily and a place that doesn't. If I said a person with a gold-nibbed fountain pen and a beautiful pad of bonded paper will produce nicer calligraphy than someone with a crayon and a slate are you going to come back at me and say "Nobody uses fountain pens anymore" ? Completely missing the point?
550+ tanks have been sent or are planned to go to Ukraine (about 300 have been already delivered, with that number increasing as the batches arrive)
Germany just confirmed today around 180 Leopard 1's will go (to be refitted and delivered over this year)
And why are you bringing up "subsistence farming" anyway? What has that got to do with anything I said?
If the russian troops in the possible next offensive are well trained and equipped I'll hop up on my flying pig, head to Moscow and shove a flux capacitor right up Putins arse...
Off ya go on a tangent again. I explained how a normal government functions and you respond with irrelevant gibberish. Do you prefer a dictatorship like Russia over a democratic government like Ukraine?
Germany ok'ed 178 tanks today,
You accuse me of going off on irrelevant tangents and then ask me what kind of system of governance I favour? How is that question relevant to anything? I pointed out that Zaluzhny requested 300 tanks and a lot of other materiel. It has nothing to do with what kind of government is in place. I'm beginning to think that games are afoot here. People stated that Zelensky was the man of the hour. I stated that Zaluzhny seemed to be making all the important decisions. Then someone else came on (maybe you) talking about dictatorships versus "non-dictatorships", again as if that had ANY bearing or relevance on whether Zelensky was calling the shots or whether it was Zaluzhny. I stated that Zaluzhny effectively asked for an army, and your response is "do you prefer democracy or dictatorship?"
I can only see Roy Keane's reaction to this line ...... "What, (frown), what da feck are you talkin' about?"
Back to a serious question. The Russians are massing in the East and there's talk of an assault in as little as a week. There are NONE of these Bradleys or Abrams or Leopards or Challengers in place. Then what?
I'm beginning to think that games are afoot here.
New accounts arrive to troll the thread, ranging from supporting Putin directly all the way to just acting the contrarian. Been several in the past week alone.
My reply is very relevant when you are trying to cast aspersions on a democratically elected government that is functioning as it should. Why do you fear answering what type of government you’d prefer?
And some arrive to add a new very pro-Ukramian voice to the proceedings...
Jesus you boys are relentless.
We've all been here since day one
I hope you're not responsible for the lives of anyone with that yellow attitude
I've been reading since day 1 too and lurking on boards for about 15 years. My posts will all be 100% pro Ukraine and will show my absolute hatred of fascists and fascism.
Everyone has to start at post #1
Slava Ukraini/Heroyam Slava....Death to enemys
PS
We WILL win.
I think this could be in conjunction with the German announcement. Yes, an old tank, but logistics and support and training will also be provided, I suspect the tanks will be modernised somewhat.
