Original thread:
Christ, pulling your "PC" bullshit into this is ridiculous and pathetic. Not to mention essentially suggesting firebombing Russian cities as a counterpoint via pretty ropey historical analogues.
Ukraine need help, it's unreal no one wants to step up, the world is too PC. In world war 2, the UK sent 3000 bombers, to bomb the crap out of Hamburg , killing 46000 civilians, and injuring 200,000 or more, using incendiary bombs, to cause tornadoes of fire to torch them to death, all to teach Hilter a lesson for bombing London.
Today no one will even fire a bullet in Putin's direction, sad.
The next package to keep Ukraine in the game but never enough to knock the Russian scum out of the game
Capital is one thing that west doesn’t lack and Russia does, especially compared to Russia and China with their collapsing and ageing demographics and capital controls
More weapons could be on the way
"“Their wives do not know trouble, and we are invisible, tsipso and foreign agents at the same time.” Relatives of those mobilized are holding a “Day Without Family” campaign in Russia today. There can be no talk of any family values in Russia, according to the participants of the action."
There was supposed to be a " Day without Family" day today across Russia. The organisers say the Kremlin can not preach about family values while they throw husbands, brothers, sons into the meat grinder of a genocidal war against Ukraine.
It's possible, I suppose, but these murderous bastards have proven over and over again that they don't need any excuses to hit civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The more you see of it the more the comparison with the Nazis becomes appreciate. I'm sure it won't be long before someone tells us Nato forced Putin to bomb a children's hospital. I'm so glad Wallace and Daly were given their marching orders, I couldn't deal with the shame of them representing our country.
The credibility of the Kremlin as a member of the human race disappeared a long time ago. Not even sure there's an animal alive even to describe them as. Don't even know why the embassy is still in Dublin. There must be some credible people besides these amoeba that if anyone wants to talk to Russians they could do. Until then they are what they are..
Well that's a surprise,not!🙄
Orbán has concluded (likely correctly) he's untouchable, he can play both sides to his hearts content, and the other EU and NATO members don't have the stomach to actually do anything significant about it.
Off to kowtow to Chairman Xi now.

After that, probably a moving kiss the ring moment with Donald Trump and other Republicans in the US.
Only because the west helped them with big cash injections.
They used to be in The Flintstones, I think.
Orban would do well to remember that Hungary is a small landlocked country whose neighbours are not particularly happy with their carry on
True with such corruption and incompetence at higher levels no amount of resources will make an improvement.
It’s good if you want to get historical perspectives on how the world got to this point and how globalisation grew with focus on all regions of globe and various tech breakthroughs over centuries, and how the US deliberately setup the “order” to bankrupt USSR which it did quite spectacularly (and of course the Russians didn’t learn any lessons from that)
And then sets out thesis on how it fall apart, US becoming inward looking and stop policing trade lanes outside western hemisphere leading to piracy and state privateering (book was written two years before Yemenis started doing just that), we already see drones attack military targets with great success if it ever turns on civilian shipping…
A single medium sized container ship transports more than transiberian railway in a year (2019) so US navy stopping patrolling sea lanes for everyone in few key choke points and everyone else not having the navies to patrol far from home would lead to de globalisation
The book got the incredible rise of greentech and US reshoring of manufacturing right
Funnily he wrote initially that Russia be ok and then as book was going to publishing he within a week of war starting made a point that this war is the most stupidest course action Russia could have taken, there’s a few chapters on China too…
is this book Any good - what does this mean about Russia?
This book here (published 28th Feb 2022)
Russia is unbelievably fucked despite the resources available
And strongly too...
"A state that commits war crimes by targeting sick children using hypersonic missiles has no interest in peace".
It's easy to find on the RTE news site...
Europe and Japan in 1945 were worse, look where they are now (and look where Russia is)
Mick who? Clare who?
….no word because the world has moved on from these (no longer useful) idiots.
No surprise the Daly and Wallace Muppets got blasted out of Europe.
Was there condemnation from any of our elected reps?
It could have been a response to the Ukrainian athlete breaking a world record and that he hasn't got his athletes competing in world events.
Or simply this was planned for weeks ago and they've a schedule of terrorism planned.
One thing the Putin administration cannot be taken seriously as members of humanity. Until they are all gone from the Kremlin it'll be rinse and repeat for lies and terrorism. Russian people really need a revolution to change power and bring themselves back to humanity.
Yes actually. You'll not be surprised to hear that he's claiming that it's a lie that the Russians attacked a children's hospital and that it was actually hit by Ukrainian defensive missiles.
He's not being very consistent though. In one post he claims that it was an S300. In another he claims it was a "NATO supplied NASAMS"
He also had this in one of his posts
Hard to tell if he's cynically lying or unbelievably deluded.
The stupidity is Orban's for talking to this scum in the first place. Sickening attack, the whole Russian nation should be hanging its head in shame
Wouldn't be out of realms of possibility. One target in Ukraine is repeatedly hit owing to its strategic location of being the current president's birthplace.
So while Orban goes to China to get publicity for a peace dialogue on their behalf, the Russians decide to bomb a Childrens Hospital.
You really would wonder sometimes how despite all their skill and aptitude for propaganda and misinformation they can make such gaffs. Arrogance mixed with stupidity and cruelty.
America and Europe have the ability to stop this.
I can't help think that this missile attack on the children's hospital was an outlet of murderous rage in seeing Le Pen not winning in France
