Sure what else would you expect a dog to do, only bark?
I know it’s been said, but I do not understand their opposition to helping in a freedom fight. The mind boggles. Like, if it was about the cost, ok, I don’t agree but I understand. This though. What is it…
Someone should tell her that borderline supporting Russia in its war against a European country isnt a good look for the party
She really is showing Sinn Fein are Russian puppets and traitors to Ireland.
They should never get into power.
How can they see what the Russians are doing to Ukraine and oppose the EU helping them!
Mary is not fit for purpose.
Massive support in this sub for backing Ukraine with funds for war as opposed to just humanitarian aid. Also massive support in this sub for Ireland to drop its neutrality. However if we were to discuss funding Palestinian resistance or else justify the IRAs war against Britain this sub would also collectively shite themselves.
“The full international effort has to be around diplomacy, peacemaking.”
It’s this mentality that emboldened Putin to invade Georgia, seize Crimea and then invade the Ukrainian mainland.
He is attempting to assert his legacy through brutality, round table discussions and well worded statements aren’t going to change his trajectory.
Pro Russia SF.
At a time when we needed a serious viable opposition to the FFG greed/jobs for the lads machine, SF just shot themselves in both feet with this pro Russian stance.
FFG are going nowhere as long as that’s the opposition.
Muppets.
Yet again. SF showing their real colours.
Sinn Fein have consistently been anti EU
Defending (or ignoring) Russian aggression vs Ukraine and Argentina’s in Falklands is such a great litmus test to separate powers from actual vocal anti-imperialists.
Wait, Sinn Fein which includes Chris Hazzard who spends most of his time tweeting support for China, the USSR and Cuba are at their heart tankies.
I am very shocked.
Unity at home.
Pro partition abroad.
This is why I will never vote for them. Mary Lou is a cow and the sinn fein party is full of morons
God she is a clown
They weren’t complaining when millions came from the US in the 80s 90s and 2000s. As a republican sympathiser said to me once, enough money was sent that would buy both ireland and England.
Is it some sort of remnant of 70s student politics (which she is too young to have been involved in) or am just sheer contrarianism? Either way it’s a shit look.
Delighted for all the SF maxi’s in these subs.
Ukraine: “Hey, this imperialist country just invaded us and started bombing our people, can you give us weapons so we can fight them off?”
EU: “Sure, here you go”
SF: “How dare evil NATO prolong this war, Ukraine should really just give up”
If these types were around in the 40’s, they’d politely ask Hitler to stop killing people and when he refused they’d shrug and do nothing, moral cowardice.
Freedom for me but not for thee.
Like I will admit I’ve not read into this deal but what are the eu getting for this. Will it ever be repaid? Access to minerals not gonna happen they already signed a deal with USA. (Which btw regardless of what they say will put them at odds with Russia). The EU would hand over this money with next to no say in the outcome of this war. Like military equipment who’s economy that helps? You may as well hand the money to USA.
Irish politics is so depressing. On one hand you have the FFG mob (tribunals, brown envelopes, landlord TD’s, cute hoorism, corruption etc), the only possible alternative up to now are Sinn Fein and they have proven themselves to be morons, dumb as a box of rocks morons.
“spending tens of billions more of taxpayers’ money on more and more weaponry is not the way to resolve this conflict … The full international effort has to be around diplomacy, peacemaking.”
fuck me its infuriating to hear this shit, like if someone is beating you to death “ah sure give em a little kiss and make friends”.
SF are too creepily in support of Russia.
The social democrats must be delighted with Mary Lou, she is gifting them SF voters.
edit: just wanted to add IMHO, the Irish people are overwhelmingly in support of Ukraine and its right to defend itself.
I read McDonalds, and was thinking they’re being a bit harsh for a sh1tty fast food restraunt.
> spending tens of billions more of taxpayers’ money on more and more weaponry is not the way to resolve this conflict
Quite a statement given the history of the Provos.
Look at that, the final nudge i needed to be a Soc Dem voter
