A good cohort of sympathisers and apologists for Russia here in Ireland, including some elected politicians.
Talking of booze boycotts, what's the story down in Aughinish Alumina? Are we still supporting Russian industrial output?

I've a 5yr old daughter. I know the logically I should be aghast at everything done so far, but watching my daughter playing with her siblings outside and then reading this just really brought the full weight of how disgusting an action this is. Jesus christ you would have to be an animal to put a bullet in a 5yr old girl.
I have felt fleeting pity for some of the mobilised Russians, but this really has burned away any thoughts of dealing with humans. Truly the world would be better off without these people
the poster of originl post already tried to make it sound that way.
Because nobody here is making a noise about it ,so it's business as normal for the parent company,
If enough people here went to Jameson being saying it promotes supporting of Russia over ukraine,
I know,
It's bad enough we've the usual suspects ranting and raving that it was predicted the putin would die on a certain day ,date and time which NOBODY on here ever claimed or that Russia was going to run out of ammunition on an exact time ,date and day again "Nobody" claimed that either,
But that won't stop people claiming it was said ,
Now ah sure didn't your man predict it was to start in the middle of the month that it's almost the end of that month
Yes, but the guy was only giving an average estimate on when spring thaw will end depending on the region. Naturally enough it’ll vary somewhat from year to year. Plus at what stage the UA army’s own preparations for a counter-offensive are key as well obviously.
Exactly that,
It's nearly the end of April and no counter offensive.
Yeah, so what’s your point?
It's mid April now
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check out David Helms on Twitter who posts a daily forecast for the region using the hashtag #NAFOweather. He reckons the ground starts firming up in southern Ukraine around mid April. Can be May though in more northern regions.
More likely rewarded for his actions
Prigozhin has since asked for him to contact Wagner and promises he won’t be harmed!!
If this was the plan it backfired spectacularly
There's no official date for the offensive equipment is still arriving and soldiers are in training,
Could be may could well be June or July
The Ukrainian new offensive is due in May. Date is not given, so it mightn't fall at all now?
This really helps me with getting to know and understand our Chinese brethren and the Chinese language a bit better.
So when they say, “congratulations on promoting world peace Mr Putin” , what they’re really saying is “fck ya, way to go Putin blowing up and raping innocent women and children”
No sign of the 'Visegrad' group making up even if a majority in each of the 4 countries like it.

Bollix was he ,
Uldarov has since claimed he was blackmailed to give this statement - possibly afraid of a sledgehammering from wagners in response
Apparently that's only 10% of what he could have admitted to ,
Unfortunately there's going to be more bucha's found as this goes on
This is what should have happened since day one ,but unfortunately Ukraine are not a member state
How not to fake a presidential visit to the front lines from the Great Zelensky
Prigozhin needs to end up either in the Hague or dead.
The terrorists said the command to mop up Bakhmut came from Prigozhin. He ordered that no one should be spared – neither elderly people nor children. All were to be killed. In Soledar, he said, it was even worse.
Uldarov also said he had "mopped up" the basement of a nine-storey building in Bakhmut where there were 300-400 civilians, 40 of whom were children. He added that he "had no choice" and that he had an order to kill everyone.
The terrorist stated that this happened in March 2023.
Uldarov also admitted that Wagnerites do not take prisoners and it is their practice to kill Ukrainian soldiers: "Mainly with a knife. We cut their throats. We film it. When Prigozhin said sledgehammer, we’d take a sledgehammer and kill with a sledgehammer. That’s his method. He is a horrible person."
Uldarov also stated that he wanted to return to the front and continue fighting.
Absolutely the right choice absolut.
Yeah ,
Keyword "Pretend"
Digital camo looks savage on the Bradleys.
Might be his last chance to pretend to visit Kherson, they've lost quite a bit of it since the "referendum".
He's a scutter poster
They say this every so often for public consumption but have not done anything concrete (as far as I am aware).
The war is going on for 1 year now, long enough for them to actually act beyond the odd bit of empty rhetoric.
The leadership of both still agree 100 % on their approach to the EU and on general direction of their countries (establishing de facto one party rule with a "managed" democracy that always produces the "correct" outcome in elections combined with open corruption in business etc. where "friends" are favoured by the state - Orbán/Fidesz has just been much more succesful and is much further down the same path).
They will continue to work together to prevent any serious action from the EU institutions or the Council against each other that could damage them at home, and possibly see them lose power. That is the more important thing for the Polish Law and Justice party, far more important than the fate of Ukraine.
They think they can thread the needle where their ally (on all issues bar Ukraine) now openly acting as Putin's catspaw inside the EU and NATO won't really affect Ukraine war too badly, or at least not so badly that Polish electorate starts to notice it!!
