    Another cowardly attack on innocent civilians.

    Two thoughts

    • what will the Pope who has been pro Putin say about one of his churches bombed?
    • Ukrainians should invite Tucker Carlson and Fox News for a visit, the hyper religious MAGAts surely be outraged about Russians deliberately bombing Christian churches? Right right??

    what will the Pope who has been pro Putin say about one of his churches bombed?

    Once he gets his brief from Putin, he'll condemn Ukraine for using the Lords house to store weapons/Nazi's/NATO membership forms, that Russia had no choice but to destroy, otherwise the motherland was in peril…

    THe Russian president is clearly living in à cocoon bunker. He has no phone no tv no Internet no papers all he knows is what power brokers tell him. If little blue men from Pluto landed in Dublin and he was told this he would believe it. Putin is now just a sad delusional headcase. Russia is doomed thanks to the power brokers that keep the president in power. I can only imagine the amount of tablets/jabs he takes to get through the day.

    Deadliest day for russian troops yesterday with over 2,000 russian lives lost (according to Ukraine).

    Also the usual attacks on energy infrastructure over winter holidays.

    The more Russia conscripts moscovites the greater the chance that some one close to Putin will take a shot.

    North Korean aims for a drone and instead gets his comrade

    It looks like history is starting up again.

    I recently came across a brief article about the SBU, who terminated the general and his aid:

    Since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022, the SBU has attacked the Crimean bridge and destroyed much of the Black Sea Fleet with naval drones, and Kyiv agents have liquidated Russia's collaborators in the occupied Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which are under Moscow's control.

    Valentin Nalyvaichenko, a lawmaker who has twice served as head of the SBU, said the Ukrainian spy agency "has gathered a lot of information and counterintelligence data" about the leadership of Russia's military and intelligence services.

    Over time, the SBU has found various ways to plant "moles", disrupt communications inside enemy territory and identify vulnerabilities in Moscow's intelligence network.

    Part of the SBU's effectiveness stems from its size, ironically, a result of its Soviet legacy. When Ukraine gained independence in 1991, the SBU inherited many of the KGB's structures, resources, and responsibilities and has not shrunk.

    With more than 30,000 employees and even more unregistered agents, the SBU is almost as large as the FBI, with its 35,000 agents. It is more than seven times larger than the UK's MI5 security service and more than four times larger than Israel's Mossad.

    This is interesting,not sure how feasible 5% will be,but the continuation of military aid sounds promising.

    We can't believe a thing trump says though he's as bad as putin for the lies



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭j62


    I see the boomerangniks have been caught completely off side with Putin’s statement during his yearly brown nosing session on TV undoing a lot of their arguments

    Aside: Hitler on 14th of February 1945

    I ought to have seized the initiative in 1938 instead of allowing myself to be forced into war in 1939; for war was, in any case, unavoidable. However, you can hardly blame me if the British and the French accepted at Munich every demand I made of them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,795 ✭✭✭saabsaab


    Seems to be standard practice for them. Put out two often contradictory stories muddy the waters and hope somebody will believe one of them or won't know what to believe.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,159 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Well at least is should be the end of the nonsense that some people are putting out there that Trump is some sort of Russian asset who's beholden to Putin.

    Trump won't care what happens in Ukraine, but at the same time he can't just pull the plug on aid. If Russia were to be allowed a complete victory in Ukraine then America's standing and influence in the world (and especially Eastern Europe) would be in tatters.

    I reckon Trump will push for some sort of ceasefire that allows both sides to save face. Ukraine won't acknowledge the loss of territories, Russia will continue to occupy the 20% of Ukraine but without legal recognition, Trump can say that he did stop the war. The reality is that the issue is just getting punted to the future.

    Absolute scumbags. Cowards is all they are. If men don't want to fight then let them be. I brought this up in the past and some keyboard warrior and his friends on here said I should go. I was against sending young men to die so why the hell should I go he is the one who should go if he thinks it's ok to be forced into a war.

    Armed forces of Ukraine continue to disarm putin's terrorists:

    I do remember you turning tail and running when asked about your peace plans and now come slinking back clutching your pearls again (along with multiple other claims you made that all got proven wrong).

    For others, the video is basically two clips without any context from the times of india, which have lots of similarly dodgy videos on their youtube channel:

    (1103) Times Of India - YouTube

    Feel free to make your own minds up.

    From an Indian source, the same country that has ignored sanctions against the Orcs and has never ceased trading with and assisting them.

    Russian Rosneft, India's Reliance Strike Biggest-Ever Oil Deal

    By Alex Kimani - Dec 12, 2024, 11:30 AM CST

    Russia's state oil firm Rosneft has agreed to supply nearly 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude to India’s Reliance Industries in the biggest oil supply deal between the two countries, Reuters reported on Thursday.

    The 10-year agreement is worth roughly $13 billion a year at current prices. Under the deal, Rosneft will deliver 20-21 Aframax-sized cargoes (80,000 to 100,000 metric tons) of various Russian crude grades and three cargoes of about 100,000 tons each of fuel oil each month.

    India is one of the worst Orc collaborators. I used to be rather sympathetic towards them regarding their clashes and disputes with China, but not any more.

    Zelensky has been incredibly persistent in resisting US urgings that he lower the age that can be conscripted.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2024/11/27/us-pressures-ukraine-lower-conscription-age-18/

    And as for that shocking video - it doesn't seem that anyone in the car was injured, the car didn't catch alight, and the draft dodger was arrested, same as used to happen in the US during the Vietnam war. The video is meant to paint a picture of terrible things being done, and completely fails - it alleges things happening that do not happen:

    "Ukrainian officers bomb civillian car" No they do not "Brutal conscription tactic…" They didn't harm anyone in the car - a basic requirement for something to be 'brutal.

    brutality |brʊˈtalɪti|
    noun [ mass noun ]
    savage physical violence; great cruelty: brutality against civilians.

    Now about Bucha, the bombed civillian shelter in Mariupol, the hundreds of murdered Ukrainian POWs..

    *uck the Times of India, Modi and the Indian government.

    He's a serial liar why would we take anything he says for granted? Asset, admirer or colluder it doesn't really matter. Ukraine don't need his permission or support ultimately and they will fight on regardless and relegate russia to a minor power in Asia with all her neighbours ready to pounce.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 672 ✭✭✭Not made with hands


    Trump is lots of things but to be fair he's lies are very different to Putin.

    You're another one of the posters who gets challenged and disappears for a few months only to return with fresh new poorly sourced claims.
