Ahem… says he. I'm also curious about something…. more to with your history rather than Russia.
Where Tucker Carlson
Surely just the usual well worn by now 'keep your noses outa our business' routine.
The pressure is going to ratchet up if Ukraine keeps its nerve.
The Kremlin foresees it's own demise.
1 and 2 don't seem too likely, as neither side is significantly stronger than the other. I don't see Ukraine getting back their territories by force, and I believe Russia lost the war when they launched their invasion - so they can't win either.
3 is the current situation. 4 won't be possible unless Russia will reach a state where they can't keep up the invasion, but I don't think that's in cards in the very near future. 5 would probably mean WW3, who knows.
To match their post count, obvs!
Nothing like a new/re-reg to start talking about peace through another agreement Russia won't honour.
Which part of history though? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_%281814%29 https://www.rferl.org/a/treaty-of-riga-1921-disaster-poland-ukraine-belarus-lithuania/31156317.html
We now live in an internet age where people get kicks from winding other people up.
Exhibit A - People in Ireland filming a row of cars with USSR flags and flags supporting the Russian invasion in an obscure business park in Dublin on a Bank holiday Monday. In russia they obscure their faces in case they be recognised and identified in further operations. In Ireland they are not that clever instead just following orders from the Russian embassy and hoping they may get 5 minutes of fame in the online world and hoping everyone that doesn't stand for what they do will be outraged. It's a sad pathetic existence. Hopefully and it looks fairly sure now the Irish authorities will be able identify everyone at the Putin funeral cortege in Dublin and put black marks against their names now for all of their existence.
I think the US or NATO will get involved directly or indirectly, such as reinforcing Ukraine's quieter borders or being present in Ukrainian cities to deter missile attacks.
I don't think the international community would be pleased with a stalemate or redrawing borders.
Everyday the narrative that NATO won't take anymore of russias bullsh*t is reinforced
As I've said on this thread before, a future Ukraine without proper unrestricted access to the Black Sea & Sea of Azov is defensively unviable. That means Russian military concessions of territory currently held along the Mariupol - Melitopol coast. Plus a complete partition of the Crimean peninsula, alongside Korean style UN DMZ zones, full NATO & EU membership with stationing of NATO forces in a future Ukraine.
Donbas region military frontier has remained largely unchanged since 2014, so perhaps that's an outside possibility of concessions to Russia. However I can't see Ukraine giving up the rest of the Azov sea coast in a settlement.
Neither side is ready for such any such compromise so the conflict goes on for many years yet.
I predict we will still have the Tankie vermin calling for "peace" which always amounts to the complete subjugation of the Ukranian nation & people, enslaved to Russia.
We should be careful it starts with flags and Zwastikas and ends with Putin invading to “save Russian speakers”

It's all part of living in a free country...... embrace that fact
Are we free to deport guests for actively campaigning against freedom? Or do we wait until someone is hurt or acts of sabotage are perpetrated
At very minimum Gardai should keep an eye on those who loudly advertise their hatred for the values of the republic
Not really.
If any waving the old hammer and sickle and showing their love for Putin from afar are only here on a visa, it is just weakness being taken advantage of.
Said it at start of the invasion that a lot of them should have been shown the door and the new visas stopped completely all across the EU, but I think only the Baltic states and Finland have taken that step and clamped down.
French agree with Ukrainian figures
We should be very wary of Russians staging patriotic events in Ireland. It's no secret Russia has sought to interfere in elections in the west, spread misinformation and sought to undermine the EU. There's clearly a need to be wary.
These guys need to be kicked out pronto
Walking around in Nazi uniforms ffs
Terrorists looking for more recruits of the feeble minded in Ireland.
Should be afforded the same treatment German soldiers and supporters were afforded in Ireland in WW2. Internment.
Ireland was a free country then too.
Option 4 is the most likely imo. A lot will depend on the American election result more than any battlefield actions over the next few months.
Isn’t brandishing an imitation firearm an illegal offence in Ireland?
Read recently that weapons valued at $1.5 billion that Ukraine received shortly before the invasion gave them a chance when it began. It makes you wonder what they might be able to do with the $60 billion allocation that just passed.
What do you think the terms of such a peace would be and, given the original poster's question, what do you think could/should be used to bring this about?
It's wild - I'd love to talk about the potential terms of a peace agreement because I don't know what would work. There are many people on this thread actively advocating for a peace proposal and I'd love to engage some in a discussion about what the peace will actually look like. But yet, I can't seem to engage anyone in a debate about it!
I just can't see any terms that will be acceptable to the parties. Ukraine will not give up territory, and Russia seems determined to legitimise their seized territory. Only a strategic defeat of one or the other (whether that is a military collapse or a political collapse) or a perpetual stalemate/frozen conflict seem to me like realistic outcomes at this point in time. Both sides have put forward their peace proposals while rejecting the others - the sides are just too far apart for any real peace agreement.
You say that a lot will depend on the American election and I'd be interested to hear your views on this as well. Are you suggesting that Donald Trump's claimed peace deal will work if he is elected? He hasn't disclosed the terms of same, but there must be some idea out there as to what terms he could present that would be acceptable to both parties?
It is,
Everyone has the right to freedom of expression in the EU. Its one of our fundamental rights.
Can people let’s say racists, express their views with a megaphone on O Connell street?
Looks like it is
Multiple eu countries make it illegal to display fascist signs and flags

You tell me
Don't get me wrong I do not agree at all with that Russian flag waving and all the other inbred shenanigans
Swastika laundry founded in 1912, Ballsbridge, Dublin. Mad.
Have you actually read what you linked to?

I did … So were they subject to restrictions and penalties ? and if so.. why? keeping in mind the freedom of expression
