Don’t see Macron there though. He was over in China on business……
it’s good to have a laugh every now and then ..
ok, all is clear with you. Master spoofer
Maybe so, but the Ukrainian parliament Bandera tweet didn't go unnoticed in Poland either. Future slips ups like this need to be avoided, especially as the 80th anniversary of the start of these massacres is later this year.
Here's the original tweet now deleted. Who's the guy sitting in front of Banderas picture?
Soooooo
Poles have already said they have no problem to NATO accession for Ukraine.
Seperated at birth..
It speaks volumes of the success of insidious Russian propaganda that it has held on to all the radical leftists from the Cold War era and also cultivated the new furrows of conspiracy theorist far right radical elements as well. How it has achieved that I find difficult to understand. But is definitely one thing that has inexplicably really improved for Russian propaganda since the Cold War . And makes them a far more dangerous adversary than they were then.
just today I had to explain to an acquaintance that there is nothing really unusual about a “ comedian” leading Ukraine when you look at the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan and Donald trump etc achieving political success in America. He really thought “ something doesn’t add up” about Zelensky. But had absolutely nothing to back up what he meant. Just spouting something he saw on the internet. Straightforward typical Russian propaganda “Zelensky comedian “ angle .
The film maker Michael moore once drove a truck through the Deep South of America with the hammer and sickle emblazoned on the side to provoke a reaction as he “hauled a bunch of communism”. Would be interesting to see what reaction he would get today if he had a truck with a Russian Z on it. I would bet he would get a more favourable reaction.
Edit : found a video of it
it got set on fire as it went through Alabama
ive said the same about films that i won't be able to take a film seriously set in war after this. it might be for the best, all this visceral footage should put off even the most virgin cotton egg shelled minds
Must say I had a laugh when I saw this.....
That is pretty much entirely Turkey playing silly buggers though. They have no legitimate complaints.
Would it be an issue for EU membership? Probably not, or at least there are larger issues and its years and years away from happening.
Excellent post and could not agree more. I am the same myself having voted for left of center parties my whole life.
Apologies, didn't see that. I think it's something that needs to be addressed though. Could it be an issue for example if it's brought up in any future application by Ukraine to join the EU or Nato? What if the Poles objected because of what it might see as a lack of progress re Bandera? Look at the hold up of Sweden's Nato application by Turkey over the Kurdish issue.
Let’s make some sense.
*Backhmut is strategically important, not as a city but it’s location.
* Russia have been known well for false flags
* the drone on the Kremlin is a joke
* do you really think prigozhin would announce tactics to the west or go against old pal Vlad
if these things don’t add up, they more than likely dont.
Deffo not "right-wing" as well. I'd find myself veering to the moderate left on many domestic issues tbh. It's consistency I'm looking out for, and it's sadly lacking with regards to geopolitical issues IMO.
Fairly gripping footage from Bahkmut trenches, looks like they were defended by VDV, who in one trench retreated into the their dug outs and were taken out with grenades. Ukrainian combat units are putting together footage of this war that put hollywood movies and documentaries to shame
That's why I mentioned the Poles.
He (Prigozhin ) like Putin is surrounded by layers of henchmen from his own private army, and their health, wealth and wellbeing in the Russian scheme of things are directly linked to Prigozhin's health, wealth and well being. Maybe a sniper from Gerasimov or Shoigu military might manage to do it, but it will be from a great distance ( of course, maybe a Ukrainian sniper might get him too) But I can't see the old falling out of the window, or a cup of Putin's special brew doing the trick. He's not finished yet though, not by a long shot IMHO.
Sorry, but no. It's not just a "pro-Russian" thing to condemn Bandera. His name is regarded with utter horror in Eastern Poland where his UPA militia murdered up to 100,000 Poles as well as Jews. Jewish sources regard him as an utter butcher obviously as well.
From what I've seen of Putin, he's gotten rid of lots of very high ranking Military/ Oligarchs/ Civilians without even batting an eyelid. The big difference this time is that he's dealing with a man who has his own fully functioning private army ( one of about 5, I believe) and as I mentioned earlier on a born survivalist. Ultimately of course, his chances of a long and happy life, and dying of old age surrounded by his family and friends is pretty remote, but while he lives and breathes, he's big trouble. Himself and Kadyrov seem to have formed a partnership, so he has back up, an vice versa he will back up Kadyrov against Putin's loyalists. For sure, I can't see him leaving the stage yet.
He played both sides in WW2...it's not as clear cut as "oh he was a Nazi" as the Russian's like to make out, he fought with the Red army at one stage to rid the Nazi's from Ukraine before he was imprisoned by them.... Russian's being Russian weren't going to give back Ukraine when when the Nazi's were driven from Ukraine so he joined forces with their biggest enemy at the time, the Nazi's, who he actually double crossed before they lost at Stalingrad...
He was very pro-Ukraine which is over shadowed by joining with the Nazi's and also fighting the Poles.
Definitely did some terrible things to both sides, but his history definitely isn't a black and white manner as pro Russian's like to make out.
It's the inconsistency I can't abide. By all means take a swipe at US, British imperialism, but to blindly ignore Russian imperialism and also be a shill for China & Iran etc like Daly & Wallace are is unacceptable IMO. For example there was an absolute clown on twitter today who said every action of Che Guevara was justified. "Even him running the notorious La Cabana execution site" I responded. His answer: "yes". Thats the type of utter gobshite you unfortunately seem to encounter these days.
Freedom of the press in Australia is relative - one half owned by Murdoch the other half owned by Nine Entertainment (aka Packer/Fairfax) - pick your preferred bunch of right wing cúnts who openly flout the law.
Once this war ends (hopefully) in favour of Ukraine, one problem that the country must confront is Stepan Bandera and the invoking of his memory as a Ukrainian 'Nationalist hero'. Apparently the Ukrainian parliament twitter account referenced him in a tweet (since deleted) back in January. It's propaganda gold to the Russians and needs to stop in my opinion.
GatlingMay 4, 2023
I see our orc friends are holding a victory parade from Dublin to kildare on Sunday and at the same time fundraising for groups in the Donbas
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What are you on about
You mean Prigozhins side kick, Kadyrov? From Grozny? yes he's still alive and kicking. Currently claiming that he will takeover in Bakhmut if Prigozhin depart's. Next week is shaping up to be a very contentious week, for sure!!! Regarding Kadyrovs quietness...its more that he wants to see how the Prigozhin V Shoigu V Gerasimov V Putin quadrangle works out...
90% is under orc control,
I'd save the emoji's
Sure Bakmut is about to fall, but not the way Gatling predicted 🤣
Weekend has arrived. Gatling, still not seing any response with details of so called Victory Parade by local Z-tards. I would like to know more about it, where does it start, how many boxes of raw eggs I have to bring with me. Post the response, or PM me. Or was this not true, or 'just another claim with no proof'?
