Original thread:
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
Just as well. You're not especially good at this edgelord business.
Do you mean Mozambique?
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.
"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.
Good.
Those ships are a lot safer in Cuba than Sevastopol that's for sure.
Hopefully Ukraine will get them on the way back.
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 😄
I can't quite make out the labels, but if it is Russian Standard, then at least it was a pretty good Vodka..
Yes! In all the excitement nearly forgot post this thread and infographics
No. I think you've covered everything.
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?
Bye bye petrodollar, the real currency is going strong.
😜👍😎😂🍻🇺🇦. feck off ye pair of tramps 🤡
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…..
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.
Probably quite a lot.
I thought you posted you were leaving?
Look all, have tried to keep up with the comments coming at me, noneof which were particularly helpful. I'm signing off here
Apologies, not seeing the difference between disinformation/ misinformation. Just thought it was rude.
Is that 2021 figures you are quoting? Can you tell what was different in 2021 to now?
I think it's a really stupid and brutal line of questioning, a bit like how people were expected to condemn Hamas before discussing the Israelis murderous rampage.
When the USA armed turkey, the Russian's armed the Cuban's and we nearly had world war 3. I don't think the Americans should have been attacking and destabilizing Cuba and we were very lucky the Russian intervention didn't cause world war 3.
I was saddened to see support increase significantly for Banderas since the Russians invaded. 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
A lot I would think. It made them toxic to transfers and thinking lefties knew they couldn't vote for someone who has backed Putin.
Fantastic news for Ireland, it would be shameful to elect someone who backs Putin at EU level, particularly when we won't support the Ukrainian armed forces.
Hopefully they feck off now to Moscow and stay away from our tv screens.
I'm going to have a celebratory drink tonight 🤪
….
I wonder how much their demise was to do with their Pro-Russian stance?
Do you think Russia has illegally invaded Ukraine and should leave the region entirely? So you think they are committing genocide? Also just an fyi, their domestic profit is being driven by the war and that's not maintainable in the long term. The economy is also a train wreck....
All the figures you are quoting are from 2021.
How is this relevant to the current Russian economy or events being reported today on the Russian stock market and banks?
It’s a pointless excercise for countries where lying is a way of life. Yes now you get it, that is the point.
