Some of them, but there are several complete nut jobs in the banned list.
There was one Indian gentleman who stated "Mr. Hitler got a bad rep in the history books".
Au contraire, it is only us loons that remained 🙂
Thread bans replaced with sticker moderation.
All the bans gone? The loons will return.
It breaks about half way through the current page i.e. when the page counter ticks to 126, but the posts only fill it to 125.
@Beasty new thread here:
Russia-Ukraine War (continuing) — boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'
I do not envy being a one-handed mod on mobile with Vanilla :)
I think was shown a few pages back someone posted why they wouldn't give Ukraine the permission and weapons to do it and it at least made sense. Now regarding other countries that's a different ball game and they should give them permission and the weapons to do it.

Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, made it clear before a meeting with Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, in New York that his country will absolutely not give Ukraine long-range weapons.
Scholz and Zelensky met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, and the German Chancellor took advantage of that moment to immediately dot the i's and cross the t's. It's a decision of the German government, Scholz emphasized. "We will not do it and we have good reasons for that." Ukraine will not receive permission from Germany in the future either, even if allies do provide it with weapons
This thread is one of the few on here not broken atm for me at least.
you think they would miss the climate , getting out of South Africa seems smart but maybe Argentina?
I wouldn't have believed these people exist, only that I once met a guy who believed all that stuff.
He truly believed that the Russian economy is in a fantastic state and a bright future, not like all the Western economies that are f*cked. Ukraine's full surrender incoming imminently.
He got all his news from some Kremlin-sponsored obscure website.
It wouldn't surprise me if he has moved to Russia at this stage for a better life.
Bit hampered at the moment being on mobile with currently only 1 fully functional hand!!
I'll start a new one later, or if anyone else wants to then fire ahead. If that is done please report my post here to remind us to close this one
Thanks
Didn't this turn out quite badly last time around for people who thought the USSR was utopia.
Lots of nice press releases of immigrants playing baseball in Gorky Park who were never to be seen again once ethe cameras turned off.
I've seen that fool's pro-Putin anti Ukraine/West/NATO FB comments only today, he's full of it. He seems to be a member of a wacky US based Christian church.
He likes talking about people being brainwashed, not realising that his brain has been well and truly scrubbed inside out. 😛
Maybe this lot should consider emigrating to Russia to escape the LGBT+ ideology being forced upon them.
Would make Mountjoy look like a Eurocamp…
it’s a pity we can’t gather up all the extreme far right and far left nutters (whom overlap with conspiracy theory nonsense) and ship em off to Siberia
Would be a win win for everyone
Speaking of conspiracy theorists and far trumpian right wing who hilariously going around labelling everyone communist, first episode of new season for Coming Storm dropped on bbc podcasts
Not sure if posted , more ruSSian tech goes boom!
Hopefully Ukraine get it all back in the not to distant future.
There an irish guy on YouTube by the name of Stephen mcelligot talking about uping sticks and moving himself and his young kids to Russia for religious reasons, to me he seems a bit the grass is greener and he is not seeing the disadvantages for him and his kids.
But each to their own I suppose, I just hope his kids don't get conscripted into some future or present war when they come of age, I'd be fairly certain that his kids will be sent before any ethnic russians from Moscow or St petersburg.
I'd say the margin of error on that survey is x10 the actual number
Last year it was propaganda about white south African settlers moving to Russia.
Not many takers to live in Russia and die for Putin
Meanwhile hundreds of thousands try to escape in other direction
Yes, and even some very pro Ukraine EU politicians are saying Russia will probably "temporarily" hold onto some Ukrainian land as part of any peace deal. Which is a bit nauseating, but at least there is some talk now of maybe trying to end this thing next year:

Obnoxious comment of the day and yet another reason to regret the fact that two assassination attempts failed:
Republican presidential candidate Trump suggested Zelenskyy wanted Harris to win the November election
. “I think Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman in history. Every time he comes into the country, he walks away with 60 billion dollars,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania. “He wants them [the Democrats] to win this election so badly.” Trump said if he wins the election, he would call Putin and Zelenskyy and urge them to reach a deal to end the war.
@Beasty is there any timeline on the thread fixes? I.e. is it worth starting a new thread for russia/Ukraine at this point?
If it falls hopefully they have a back up plan unlike Avdiivka.
Ukrainian military sources confirm that Russian units managed to enter the first outskirts of Vuhledar after months of intense fighting in this direction. The situation here deteriorated fast.
"There was no major offensive as such, small enemy assault groups managed to penetrate the city, so we can conclude that at the moment there is a grey area. They enter there, cannot gain a foothold, so they either withdraw or die."
Another Ukrainian source suggesting there was a breakthrough on the flanks which will be hard to stop.
IMO it would be a great shame if Russia takes the city this year. If the Ukrainians can push them back this will remain a very costly front for Russia until next summer.
I would be very surprised if that was the correct subtitling of what he was saying.
War is going really well
