So Russia is threatning us

*yawn*

This is all diplomatic sabre-rattling from the Russians, who wish to look big against the puny little island north west of the rest of Europe.

Vladimir Titov's remarks were reported by the state-run RIA-Novosti news agency. The ministry press office told CNN it was not aware of the comment and could not elaborate

I'll slap his Ma's titov

I say we somehow use this incident to buddy-up to the Russians; pretty handy friend to have in these times, i'd imagine.
I mean, seen as we're sell-outs, anyway.

we cant. havent ye heard? Bertie, who owns Coilte(which owns 7% of the countrys forestland) is about to sell up to the Chinese for their 'supercity' yoke in the midlands. The yanks paid half for Shannon..we're being a diplomatic floozy..it will end up us gettin nuked by all three first..

They know we are pushovers and lie down and take it all. every other country will soon be following them to bleed us dry.

Wait until argentina blames us for their problems and gets us to pay for their IMF bill.

If they stop exporting Smirnoff to us there might be violence. Although the type of people who tend to get involved in that sort of thing probably drinks Glens vodka and Dutch Gold...

Russia doesn't need to look big I can assure.

Not just 1 corrupt official, I would imagine there were at least a few more people using those passports, and that they had somewhere else to report to. The article mentions that it was a spy network, sabotaging equipment.

Nothing wrong with Dutch Gold. Cheap and cheerful

Looks like we will all have to keep a firm hold of our passports
from this point on then . . .

They werent physically stolen..the peoples information and presumably passport photos were taken and they were then cloned in Russia. There was a good few people involved in this. Had to be for it to happen.

I remember reading in the paper years ago that one of the superpowers (think it was Russia) had plans to nuke Shannon and Dublin airports if the cold war ever escalated to prevent them falling into the enemies hands.

The one doing the supposed bullying is not the same Russian as the one from the embasy. Bad form from the Russian Fed. tbh. They can stick their 'retaliation'.

bullpost · 02-02-2011 03:27PM

They wont do anything - too busy off skiing with their swarovski-encrusted thingamajigs.

Oh to have money

Again, it's not one and it's not corrupt, it's their job. They didn't do it because the FSB didn't tell them to.

Sean Quagmire · 02-02-2011 03:27PM

We're getting screwed by everyone. I think this photo sums it up nicely.

One person was named in this investigation,nowhere does it state all members of the embassy are guilty.this person also wasn't convicted by a judge nor jury

well he has diplomatic immunity...what would be the point?? expel and be done with.

almost definitely true. The US paid for a large part of Shannons development, hence them being allowed land there. it would make sense.

Ooooh the Russians are mad at us, I’m so scared. Oooooh, the Russians! Uh oh, the Russians are coming to get us. Oh no, don’t let the Russians come after us. Oh, no the Russians are coming after us. No! They’re so big and strong. Oh, protect us from the Russians, the Russians!

Pffft.

A bit of a joke, the Irish government telling foreigners that they've been naughty, considering what those feckers have been up to. The Russian should stay and the Irish government should catch up with their slimeball pals who've already fecked off abroad.

GHOST MGG2 · 02-02-2011 03:33PM

I reckon comrade cowen has rigged this whole thing.
Russia now has an excuse to invade ireland.

Apparently the russian potato crop has failed
and they are now after ours!

Ireland for the first time exported whole and not the usual seed potatoes for the first time ever in december to russia..

The great russian irish potato passport conspiracy deepens....

So Russia is threatning us
