I can not, its against Boards rules (to keep Board away from legal crap).
Ah tell us the company name - Id like to leave a nice review as well.
But you promised… I’m disappointed tbh.
thats the bunch...i remember thinking at the time what a crowd of pond scum
I did park the car and walked down the street, took some notes, talked to a couple of bypassers, went to look how that scum UAZ mechanic looks like (so I remember his face), asked few questions, I talked to Garda, pointed them out on SERGEJ number plates, instead was warned not to do anything stupid. Me vs few hundred vatniks. Those 'photos from safety of the car' as you state are actually stills from dash cam video. I am not known for walking around with camera. I was hoping that there would be some protesters, but there were none. Only vatniks.
What you are insuating is that I was scared or something? Dont measure anyone by yourself. And what did you do, apart from posting some wild dumb sh1t?
What happened to this offensive you were going to launch on this crowd with some non lethal weaponry? Yet all we get is a couple of photos from inside the safety of a car……
His soldiers went to Ukraine, fired at trees and filmed it for Tiktok, that was pretty much the extent of their war effort. Oh yeah and went around beating up people in Mariupol, including raping a Russian journalist.
yes,thats the guy,couldnt remember his name...yeah hes more then likely looking to see what way the wind is blowing...cant seem to recall if his mercenaries have done much damage but i do remember seeing videos somewhere...
Not while a war is being fought in Ukraine
Its a provocation towards the west and Russias will use it against the west in their propaganda
Its done for a reason,same way Goebbels done it in ww2.
I guess this is ok too then ,if you dont draw the line somewhere
My guess is that many of these "Russians" have entered Ireland with EU national passports, they might say they are Russian, as that is their racial background, that's where their loyalty will lie. They will certainly hide behind the rights of EU citizens when it suits them. They were part of Russia's policy to undermine local numbers of nationalities in former states of the Soviet Union. I believe Estonia had 40% Russians after independence.
I wonder how many real Russian citizens have been given political asylum in Ireland. It seems that Baltic & other ex Soviet & Eastern European states are clamping down on their activities, whereas they are been given more freedom in western countries such as Germany & Ireland to push their poison agenda.
12 Russian citizens claimed asylum in Ireland in 2021

We are talking about parades and public gathering now as well
I don't personally see the need to go that far. I would say they should be outed for what they are via a parade, and especially the ones wearing Z symbols should be named and shamed, and their social and financial exclusion from Irish society should be openly encouraged.
Owners might not be aware their van was participating in this farce. If they knew, then of course, but somehow I doubt owners knew what Ivan was using their equipment during weekend for. BTW, is commercial van even ensured for non-business activities?
edit: just noticed somebody has already added a quality picture with this van and flags on their Google reviews and now the 1 star ratings along with pics of ruined apartment blocks in Ukraine. All over their Facebook page too. Owners have replied ans said they are taking this very seriously and it will be dealt swiftly. Looks like Ivan will be subsidized by taxpayers soon.
Latvia banned use of soviet flags and sybols at the same time they banned Nazi Germany sybols. At least 20 years ago. It didnt stop vatniks.
There are other options to prevent Russians from celebrating their genocide
Like Estonia have done
The picture of the van should be plastered all over the social medias, drum up some bad publicity for the company involved.
Russian machine gun position taken out
None of them are asylum seekers.
You have no point
We can, and most certainly do. On the personal level. But we need government and its institutions also to do their part. Not being bothered is what encourage Z-tards to go even further next time and totally disrespect country and its laws they reside in. And it should start from small things. For example - there was a black beemer with its reg plates changed to plate that says SERGEJ. Garda was there in numbers, do you think any of them even bothered to cop on. Why was the 'hero' Sergej not approached by Garda and asked to eat remove this false plate on spot?
And speaking about businesses...what do you think about this? A van of a very well known Irish landscaping company (which I can not name here) with modern day nazi flags. Does the owner knows his van is used for this? Is it owner themselves driving?
It is illegal to deny asylum if a valid claim exists and a blanket "no russians" policy would not be legal.
It is illegal to deny asylum when a valid claim exists.
Denying claims from an entire nationality would absolutely be illegal.
Other than 1 middle aged woman in a Z tshirt, how did the V day celebrations 'celebrate and promote their nation's genocidal war'?
I am in favour of not deporting them because I live in a liberal democratic country that affords certain freedoms to its inhabitants. This event falls squarely within all those freedoms.
Another in need of an English lesson?
"I'd be hesitant to" means I'd be reluctant to support something, not that I would actively oppose it.
I'd be fully supportive of an EU-wide move to refuse visas to all Russian citizens until their army withdraws from the Internationally recognised borders of Ukraine and they cease all hostile actions.
I'd like to see the scum that attended the event in question deported since I don't like seeing them enjoying the benefits of living in our free and democratic country while cheering for the war-mongering, genocidal mafia boss that runs their own country. I'm not saying that they should automatically be deported for it but their attendance at such an event would warrant an inspection of their legal status in our country by the DOJ and their activities here by the Gardaí.
It's not illegal to deny asylum,
You're entitled to apply for international protect but there is legal entitlement to it ,the biggest problem is we have is the lack of any real deportations over the last 30 years
Both would be illegal however.
I'm certainly not going to make friends with any of them. I don't really understand how people can't see that deportations for technically political views is not a wise road to go down. We have not officially declared Russia "modern day Nazis" - maybe we should but we haven't. Ukraine are being invaded for trying to align more closely with Western Europe and its ideals - one of those ideals is a fair legal system and due process and not arbitrarily deporting people.
They're quite obviously not going to be deported anyway - they attended a perfectly legal event. There is no basis to deport them and I doubt it would survive a legal challenge.
Perhaps English isn't your first language comrade: "I'd be hesitant to even allow Russian refugees in tbh" is not the same thing as "Russians should not be granted refugee status".
We wouldn't be deporting them for holding unsavoury views, we'd be deporting them for holding an event to celebrate and promote their nation's genocidal war.
By virtue of the very fact they're celebrating Russia's actions in Ukraine, it's safe to say they're not refugees.
You still haven't answered the question though: why are you in favour of allowing them to remain (or indeed to allow any other Russians in)? Does their presence enhance our country in any way? Or should we just use Occam's Razor and deduce that you somehow benefit from their presence personally?
No, @Sleepy said that Russians should not even be granted refugee status so that they remain in Russia to oppose Putin - a move which would deny them their rights under the UN asylum declaration.
see his below post that started this:
I'd be hesitant to even allow Russian refugees in tbh. If the West keep accepting Putin's opponents/victims who's going to be left to overthrow him?
I listened to Clare & Mick's rambling musings of their recent all expenses paid junket to China a while back. They mentioned Russia towards the end and one says: "yes, the Russian invasion was illegal." "But they were provoked" the other one pipes up immediately. Interestingly enough here's a tweet by Ruth Coppinger of the Socialist Party blasting Wallace for his support of such regimes.
Brendan Ogle calling a spade a spade as well last October. Called Putin "that imperial fascist in Moscow." So there appears to be some honourable exceptions among the left.
Who claimed they were refugees exactly.
So far only you
