"rips his head off"???
Yeah, I'd like to know more about that. I know it's a figure if speech, but in today's crazy world you never know.
In Russia, this woman would be considered unsuited to the teaching profession due to her overly kind and meek temperament.
Google translate goes as
Before you tear off your head.
Doesn't sound right either. We'll just go with Russian teachers are a different breed.
ISIS etc. won't like this video
One of the Ukrainian prisoners exchanged recently looks like he just got released from Belsen

There was once a band called The Screaming Abdabs.
They became Pink Floyd.
And Russia is still on the security council.
In case anyone missed it it looks like Scott Ritter's days of sucking up to the Russians in person is over:
Steven Segal and Tucker Carlson next hopefully
Hopefully this convicted peado endsup “sucking em” again in prison
JFC, that's not hyperbole, poor guy doesn't look like he was going to be around much longer. I'm guessing the Redd Cross never inspected that POW camp.
Sota news are really knocking it out of the park lately.
Most likely because now the Kremlin has declared them as "Foreign Agents" though they are 100% russian. No sh1ts given anymore by Sota. Before they were vaguely on the fence and tried to stay like the Kremlin were a legitimate government doing normal things. Now the gloves are off.

Not really unusual, Lossiemouth is the base for the RAF’s P-8 Poseidon force. I think we’re going to see more of that going forward, not just out of Lossiemouth but also out of Keflavik in Iceland, where the US Navy has recently resumed basing their P-8’s. You can also bet that all of the underwater hydrophone arrays, whether part of SOSUS, its successor, or whatever other systems might be mounted in the GIUK gap, are also at full operational status again.
Loathe as I am to agree with solovyev,I think he may be correct.
What makes you think that the Red Cross even had access to that POW camp? or for that matter any camp or prison in the Russian Federation? Putin allows only what he allows, and to hell with what might be considered normal in the rest of the world. Putin controls every entity, and especially international ones like the Red Cross. To even be allowed to operate within the Federation means walking an extremely high tight rope, and without any safety net.
Apparently in the Dublin MEP election debate on RTE last night Barry Andrews (FF) got Clare Daly with a zinger:
"You should think more about Crumlin not the Kremlin."
It's a hot war between Russia and Ukraine and a kind of low temperature proxy war between states from all over the world.
It is depressing to wonder where it's going to end. Neither side has the ability to defeat the other, I still see the only hope coming from Putin dying or being removed but I don't see much sign of that happening. Assassination of Zelensky is also a constant threat and something that could severely change things.
The Kremlin block of Clare, Mick, Ming and Greens repeatedly voted against any motion at EU level to
example;
Every single time on these issues (and energy too!) they voted in line with Kremlins agenda
The Greens are a strange case. In Germany it's the opposite, they are constantly lobbying Scholz to deliver more weapons to Ukraine and are the only party that consistently urge more must be done and insist that Putin cannot be negotiated with. The SPD in contrast are in a constant split between realists and loathsome Putin appeasers. The German far left and far right of course both want "peace" i.e. to sacrifice Ukraine to Russia and accuse the Greens of being a "pro war" party. It's all very ironic given that the Greens originated as hardcore pacifists, but under the guidance of Baerbock they are the only consistent supporters of Ukrainian sovereignty. A positive example of a party that doesn't let ideology blind them to reality
Them red lines the Kremlin drew ended up being as illusionary as the Armata tanks and new generation fighter planes and invulnerable S400 systems that were talked up and ended up being shite or nonexistent
?
That I believe is untrue of Luke Flanagan. As far as I can tell he has been pretty consistent in not voting the same way as Daly and Wallace.
Nope, see here (filter down by Irish MEPs) just from recent votes:
On migration
same as mick and Clare
now on Russia/Ukraine
https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/168586
https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/164536
https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/127830
https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/164439
Now there are some votes where he abstained (didn’t show up) or didn’t vote inline with the despicables like this one
https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/150459
But majority of time he has been inline with his comrades
Wallace the weasel is on southeast radio atm trying to big himself up that it's all the west's fault in the whole world and that he wants peace and no arms to go to Ukraine. He's against farmers. He weasels the fishermen for votes.
He says it's racist that Ireland took in Ukrainians and paid them more then africans or refugees from the middle east that he says the west is to blame for them coming here. He never mentions Putin or that's it's their fault in any way.
He's a pure out and out Putin boy. Always has been.
Meanwhile Putin and Lukashenko are flying in africans and middle easterners with the sole intention of pushing them across into the EU. They get their passports stamped in Russia and Belarus and are then bussed to the borders to cross into the EU.
Actually I have gone through about 30 to 40 votes on the site and searched with Criteria Russia. The VAST majority of them Flanagan did not vote in line with Daly and Wallace. I believe you have deliberately cherrypicked.
Have to call bullshit on that. Absolutely zero chance Ukraine wouldn't be downing Russian aircraft well inside Russia has they been allowed to. The west was far too late allowing Ukraine use western arms anyway Ukraine needs to. There no need to revise history ffs.

Did Ming vote opposite to Daly and Wallace in those votes or did he abstain?
He voted in opposition to them in most. I will need to do a little more research as Ming is running in my constituency. I was never under the impression that he was a Moscow stooge like Wallace and Daly, but now that I see an allegation made I will research it. I won't give him a vote if the argument holds water but I am dubious that it does.
Could you point out the instances of the greens (specifically the Irish green meps) voting against Ukraine? The votes I have looked at show Ciaran Cuffe voting the opposite way to Wallace and Daly.
