Ireland should have as little to do with Nato as possible.
We need to work with countries based on solidarity, internationalism, opposition to capitalist games of control and conquest.
Seriously conflicted here, I really enjoyed that insult…. but it was made by putin
More and more there's more gradual discontent being expressed by Russian people publicly to Western audiences. A year ago this wasn't allowed in Putin's russia.
And there you have it... Redmond and the romanticism of WW1.
Your opinion of me is of precisely zero importance to me. And I've no interest in indulging the whataboutery in your post.
And for the rest of us, it's just makes us nauseous hearing it for the umpteenth time.
Yes.
It's entirely relevant to the thread. And I have little doubt but that this thread is read by some of those who have a duty. If that makes them uncomfortable, well so be it.
Legally the Irish government cannot extradite them. The ones that wanted to return to fight have returned. Can you please drop it now.
No this issue is not about refugees or immigration per se. There are many people on this thread 'cheering on' Ukraine and no doubt looking on with satisfaction at videos of Russian soldiers dead on the battlefields and large explosions etc etc.
There is a gap between that voyeurism and rhetoric and the harsh reality that the Ukraine needs men & women of service age to enlist and do their bit. That is the reality of this war and every war. It's easy to waft that away but no war was ever won on the basis of wishful thinking.
And no, I'm not about to head off to Ukraine to do my bit. It's not our war, yet anyway. But if I was required by the Irish state in this situation to volunteer, I would do so, just like my ancestors who listened to Redmonds call and headed to the Western Front.
Carlson with his constant “I just sh1t my pants” look on his face.
Interesting, the out at sea option would be bolted to something like an oil rig? Think something similar was used during the Iran-Iraq war, a more contemporary example would be structures in the Black sea.
Not alone all the above but throw in the fact that the Russians had an agreement to divide Poland in two and ravage their half of it. When it was invaded and then near the end of the war stalled outside Warsaw and let the Germans butcher the uprising
the replies underneath are a real eye-opener of the uneducated MAGA fanatics.
You've been banging the drum (in one way or another) about "the duty" of men of Ukraine living in Ireland on thread for a very long time. Can you not just give it a rest for a bit? (please!? lol)...it is done to death.
IMO it is not Ireland's job to act as Ukraine's recruiting sargeant, or try and enforce their laws on this issue on their citizens who we've allowed in.
I mean, if say the EU was attacked by Russia (and some EU member countries were doing conscription to defend) you might have some argument then as regards their citizens living here, but in general countries do not enforce this kind of law on people on behalf of 3rd countries. Would be pretty exceptional.
I can't think of an example of it. So, going on about it is just a thin excuse to have a pop at Ukrainian refugees.
Just realised I haven't thought of the word chickenhawk since the Bush administration
That clip alone proves Putin is a fan of Hitler and what he achieved. Why would he bring up that about Hitler bar to have comparison between himself and crossing into Ukraine and to intimidate the Polish government of today.
Everyone says Putin is obsessed with history and how he sees himself as to emulate past dictators and conquerers. It's long past time the Russian people hung his body from a lamp post and save themselves the rantings and ravings and orders of a madman obsessed with Hitler, Nazism and using the Russian population as shell fodder for his grand plan.
The full Carlson Putin interview .. enjoy :D
Carlson prefaces the interview vid with initial thoughts on putins long reply to the initial Q - Why he attacked Ukraine
there's various methods of mitigation, which all have pro's and con's... usual ones are:
-tilt the beam higher so it doesn't illuminate the farms
pros - quick, easy
cons-vastly reduces low level detection (planes just fly under the beam), as it's pointing higher, long range detection is reduced, due to the curvature of the earth
-software processing mitigation
pros - farms can be built, no change to physical infrastructure
cons - bespoke expensive software builds to be bought and maintained, resolution reduced, detection capability reduced
-buy an infill radar somewhere not pointing at the windfarm
pros - cost usually offloaded to wind farm developer, farm can go ahead, minimal impact to coverage
cons- for Ireland's case, numerous infills would be required if land based (cost befit issue?) best options would need to be out at sea, integration and support to existing infrastructure, in service support usually offloaded to user (i.e. a more costly in service run for the DF).
Ouch .. truth hurts perhaps
Nothing to see here
Interesting as regards the windfarms, certainly didn't know that. Everyday is a school day...
So that's where he got the idea to invade Ukraine
So if Ireland was invaded tomorrow and we had a foreign army on our roads, going around slaughtering & raping men, women and children. Are you saying as an Irish citizen and a male (and we'll assume you are for a moment) that you wouldn't do your best to protect the women & children of this state, your own neighbours? That you'd hide away, run away, put your hands over your eyes and ears and hear nothing? If so, you disgust me.
And etc...
