Perhaps the Ukrainians should mass print one of Mr. Higgins's wife's lovely poems and air drop them over the Russian lines and on Moscow and St. Petersburg. Peace in our time.

Quote from: Dag Dog on December 27, 2024, 06:27:20 PMDid the Finns ask permission off Russia to join NATO?
The tankies here are adamant that countries shouldn't have the sovereignty to do so.
 

Very quiet on here recently - still reeling from the loss of Butcher Assad.

Quote from: Dag Dog on December 26, 2024, 07:44:19 PMIt's starting to emerge that Russian fire brought down the Azerbaijan Airlines plane.
The usual barking dogs here will start posting about bird strikes!

Azerbaijan airlines will suspend all flight operations going to Sochi, Ufa, Volgograd, Samara, Grozny, Mineralnye Vody and Makhachkala.

I'd say the teenage/early twenties crowd would be happy to have the 'craic' with him but if you're a bit older and out for a few with your friends he'd be a dose alright.

Quote from: theskull1 on December 22, 2024, 09:20:08 AMWe'd all agree that an over reliance on ad hominem is a low IQ giveaway?

I'm not sure you're in a position to throw around 'low IQ giveaway' insults at anyone on the board given the amount of shite you watch on YouTube, believe without questioning or basic fact-checking, and then encourage others to follow suit.

Quote from: Rossfan on December 20, 2024, 04:40:37 PMThat piece of thrash Musk seems to be in charge there now!

Musk is a dangerous man - first Trump in the US, now promoting Farage in the UK, AfD in Germany and now calling a
Judge in Romania a dictator.

The guy is an outright fascist.

This 30 min YouTube video cuts neatly through all the Russian NATO bullshit still promoted by some idiots in the west.

It's the best summation of the sequence of events I've seen online.

Most small towns in eastern Ukraine are actually very nice so shouldn't be put in the category of 'rustbucket'. They are generally very clean, have reasonable roads and good services. Also most towns and cities have trees and greenery throughout that would put any town in Ireland or the UK to shame.

The old soviet style apartment blocks do look tired and worn out but apartments inside are generally as nice and modern as any in the west.

Russia outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg is generally falling apart due to 3 decades of corrupt officials robbing the country blind. A miserable shithole.

An interesting observation:

https://x.com/olenahalushka/status/1870026012035109216?s=46

'Make no mistake: russia bombing the downtown of the capital city with 4 million residents is considered routine. Ukraine conducting deep strikes against russian military bases is labeled as escalation. Future historians will feel secondhand embarrassment when studying this era.'

Hopefully this is the start of some more intensive international pressure.

This is huge imo, the power of sport, especially on the international stage cannot be understated. Israel being shunned will drive them up the wall... Both barrels now for Norway

A nation of Anti-semites, didn't 10 or 20  Norwegians join the SS during WW2 or something something ..something 

It's a pity the game wasn't a bit sooner.

Quote from: Dag Dog on December 18, 2024, 04:59:19 PMOn social media, lots of tankies are enraged by a Russian war criminal being whacked, not a peep out of them about the slaughter of Ukrainians.


Speaking of which - check out NIs resident moron tankie Phil Kelly - never off our airwaves and TV thanks to Stephen Nolan - wishing none other than the 20thC bloodiest murderer Stalin a happy birthday yesterday.

https://x.com/phil_kelly_/status/1869511843741593635?s=46

How can you claim to be against the slaughter of innocents such as in Gaza and yer hero worship someone like Stalin?

Tankieism is a mental illness.

Quote from: theskull1 on December 17, 2024, 11:09:04 PMNo.Israel would have to talk them into it next time they want to do another land grab.

So you don't expect the new leader of Syria to attack Israel yet even 'considering what Israel is doing to his fellow Muslims'.

Ok. What's your point then?

Oh dear..will these two clowns fess up and admit they were wrong about the ophthalmologist from London?

Maybe once the international war crimes experts get there and start digging up the many many mass graves?

Will they feck.

Quote from: theskull1 on December 17, 2024, 10:21:38 PMIt's true though .. you don't find that strange considering what Israel is doing to his fellow muslims never mind the land they are stealing and bombing? Whats your read on that?

You expect the new leaders of Syria to attack Israel two weeks after overthrowing Assad?

Quote from: theskull1 on December 17, 2024, 09:51:37 PMWeird to consider that the Ex-jihadi terrorist/newly anointed leader of whatever's left of Syria is considered a better friend to Israel than Simon Harris.

Aw, still lamenting the fall of the bloodiest butcher the ME has probably ever seen. Assad has killed more innocents than even that thug Netanyahu and that takes some doing. Plenty of Palestinians too in those mass graves of men, women and children all over Syria.

Not that you actually care about anyone in the ME, you just hate the US and that's it. All the innocents murdered by the likes of Assad don't even register as people to you.
