Original thread:
I thought you posted you were leaving?
Probably quite a lot.
I think it's a really stupid and brutal line of questioning
For someone who's been pissing and moaning since the beginning about others being rude to you seems a bit hypocritical for you to be calling me stupid no?
I'm going to ignore the whole Israel/Hamas/Cuba issue as it has it's own separate thread and doesn't need discussion here.
It's a similar scenario in Ukraine. It's not an easy primary school answer. It's a complex situation.I feel sorry for the Ukrainians and Russian's dying on the battlefield. Ukraine is a disaster now, I don't know what type of society will exist after the war. I don't know enough Ukrainians to comment but my neighbour who was from Ukraine and living in Ireland before the war was lovely.

Again you dodged my point. In what way is it similar? In what way were any of my non-contentious statements false or primary school like? Simply declaring my points as being uncomplex and juvenille doesn't make them so.
Maybe if you feel so sorry for the Russians dying on the battlefield you should be advocating for them to go home no? Ukraine aren't going to be chasing them across the border to Moscow. Why are you avoiding the simplest and least complicated solution as being the best one?
There seems to have been issues with groups like the Azov battalion that the US refused to arm due to their links to Banderas but probably in a similar way to the IRA in the north.
Russian propaganda verbatim. Azov filled with Nazis etc etc……..
I feel sorry for the Ukrainians, they would have been better to steer clear of the Americans IMHO and hope Ukraine can find a good spirit after the war ends
You feel sorry for the Ukrainians but not enough to cast any sort of aspersion over the country blatantly invading and murdering them. Weird position to take.
Here's one for you:
No need to regale me with tales of American misgivings, Cuban missile crises or the ongoing Hamas/Israel calamity.
A few simple yes or no's will do. Thanks.
I always always know what I’m dealing with when I read “ I just feel sorry for the people dying in Ukraine, we need peace now”
Got ya…..
😜👍😎😂🍻🇺🇦. feck off ye pair of tramps 🤡
Bye bye petrodollar, the real currency is going strong.
Fantastic day all round really:
My mood really does swing from day to day based on Ukrainian related news (Probably not a healthy thing) Have I missed anything?
No. I think you've covered everything.
Yes! In all the excitement nearly forgot post this thread and infographics
I can't quite make out the labels, but if it is Russian Standard, then at least it was a pretty good Vodka..
10 minutes left in the day, can squeeze in more good news
Hopefully them ships sink too, they few hours behind in EST time zone 😄
Those ships are a lot safer in Cuba than Sevastopol that's for sure.
Hopefully Ukraine will get them on the way back.
Good.
"Hope Ukraine can find a good spirit after the war ends". Real sniff of the "poor waif in his underwear" in the language used in these posts, or very odd for a native English speaker in Ireland.
Add to the "just asking questions", regurgitation of current Kremlin spin, "sanctions aren't working", Banderas/nazis mentioned, hints of escalation/nukes, talks of "peace" minus any condemnation of the invaders and blaming the US/West? It's like a tick the boxes exercise for Russian bots. At least try and run off a different script.
I hope they can find a good spirit too. Perhaps we could send them a few barrels of Midleton for the celebrations after repelling the Russian invaders? Least we can do.
Do you mean Mozambique?
Just as well. You're not especially good at this edgelord business.
The new generation sent out on manure spreading duties is just not as good as the old professionals, seems all the good old ones are already pushing sunflowers somewhere out east
Anyways 😃 speaking of the old guard
I wonder if the Kremlin will attempt to still use them as Anglo-phone talking pieces for their propiganda…or maybe they can't be bothered now that they're not MEPs. Although they're not really short of anglophones for this, since they easily get Tucker Carlson over to marvel at their coin-locked shopping trolleys, and their….bread isle? Wallace & Daly likely lack the screen presence needed to even work as a talking-head on RT.
But that said…with the Russians facing serious financial problems…maybe RT would actually try to hire in these two on the cheap.
Happy to see the back of that mangy lad. But at least Mick had the decency to speak to the broadcast media and thank his supporters. I doubt we'll hear or see of him again, unless in relation to some taxes owed.
Delighted the two comrades Wallace and Daly were given the boot. Good to see Irish people having no time for pro Putin puppets.
Daly's early elimination and huff-filled flight from the RDS does warm my heart.
I was however a little concerned that Wallace was in the running right up until the end. I had hoped he would also be eliminated early, but he got a good few No1s and transfers. I hope most of those voters were simply unaware of his loyalites to the Kremlin and were not voting on the basis of that.
Russian state media reported that almost a month’s worth of rain fell in some areas of Moscow in a few hours, citing the capital’s authorities.
That’s unfortunate
I'm quite conflicted about them, to be fair. They were both principled left-wingers and I voted for Daly both as TD and MEP. I was pretty surprised by their pro-Putin schtick and couldn't believe the utter shite they were spewing this past few years so I was happy to bin them off over their position on Ukraine (and indeed Taiwan) this time around. I can't understand why anyone could support the subjugation and invasion of another sovereign country and the erosion of hard-won rights from its citizens. Europe is at war for those rights and freedoms, and even the pacifists will have to choose a side at some stage.
Who is he? What are his sources? And how do satellites tell what condition tanks in warehouses are in?
The pessimist in me thinks he'll be back staring out at us from election posters again in a few months time. Would be a shoe in for Dail elections if his numbers in the Euros are anything to go by. Presumably most of his votes came from Wexford.
Edit: the quote button didn't work for me - this was meant to be a reply to @Furze99 post above re Wurzel Wallace
yes which was a Portuguese colony until 1975. Portugal single-handedly allowed Rhodesia to exist for 15 years. Countries can exist with just one friend.
Someone who offers a bit more nuanced angle than the usual “Russia has endless resources” meme that gets peddled here regularly
Are they blaming NATO ?
Can you answer the question?
