Questo è un discorso potente. Ciò che stanno attraversando gli ucraini è orrendo. Dovremmo essere orgogliosi di ciò che abbiamo fatto per assistere l’Ucraina in questa guerra ingiusta. Ma questo mi ricorda anche quanto siamo fortunati a vivere in questo meraviglioso Paese. Nonostante tutti i suoi difetti, potrebbe essere molto peggio.

RBB on the radio justifying why he refused the clap was absolutely vile. His views align with our new president’s which was why I opposed her virtual landslide.
Slava Ukraini
And mick Wallace complaining about us giving money to Ukraine , “ that zelensky will just add to his stash” what an absolute POS he is
I don’t understand why some people on the left are so anti-ukraine. It’s like just because NATO backed Ukraine, you must automatically do the opposite. Child like politics. Have NATO done bad things yes? But that doesn’t in this case they’re actually on the right side
You’d have to wonder by that logic do they oppose 1916 and the war of independence too? How do they feel about the 1800s here?
It just strikes me as utter hypocrisy to be standing in Ireland of all places criticising Ukraine for defending itself against an aggressive imperialist neighbour that thinks it’s got some absolute right to own your country.
Does that calculation change if Russia invaded say Finland or Sweden for example?
Russia behaves very much like a 18th or 19th century imperial power – just with modern weaponry and ability to cause intense destruction.
PBP’s absolute-zero-cold takes on Ukraine are either because :
1. They’re such an ideologically driven lot they immediately jump to not justifying violence of any kind (even if it means thwarting an existential threat ; we’ve seen the horror Russia soldiers have inflicted on occupied towns like Bucha, would you honestly be okay laying down arms and letting them roll across the whole country?)
2. They’re so anti-west pilled, any acts of violence against even a somewhat west-aligned country is a cathartic release in the name of anti-imperial struggle or some shit.
In any case, fuck them and any Russia enabler.
Folks. They all need to read up on the history of the crimea and donbass region before anyone can comment on anything.
I hope Connolly and the people who voted for her listening carefully.
For that willing to take up arms, they’d be willing to accept you if you’re in good health. You can apply at the Embassy of Ukraine. I applied, but was denied for being Diabetic -_-
“Your struggle is our struggle” – Micheál Martin yesterday
The man really deserves to go down in history for how he has represented his country on a global scale. Even in his non native tongue his speeches stir emotion and send a clear and levelled message. There are many who would struggle to do that here, nevermind after facing the daily horrors Ukraine has.
