Quote from: RedHand88 on February 07, 2024, 03:14:37 PMI was speaking to a Ukrainian living in Ireland the other day who absolutely detests Zelensky and the Ukrainian government She is from near the Donbas region, speaks Russian (only pigeon Ukrainian) and used the phrase "I am not pro Russian, I am Russian". Her gripes were that they are more culturally and societally to Russia than a Ukraine. Said they felt trapped in a country they didn't associate with and refused to acknowledge it 👀
She mentioned the Azov battalion as well.

Basically they are trapped here now because her husbands passport was cancelled for leaving the country in wartime.
I was suprised because we don't hear this point of view much but it was interesting to hear her point of view.

I'm sure that he could get a Russian passport and head to Moscow instead of been trapped here.
Pro-Russians who stick it out in Donbas will be well looked after if Putin wins.

Quote from: ThomasMullan on February 07, 2024, 11:04:01 AMThat's pretty much what he does. 'Russia invaded us, we need your help, thank you, we still need your help. The invasion is ongoing' and he's doing a great job.

Clarshack finds that objectionable for reasons known only to him. Maybe he does think Ukraine invaded Russia, hmm?


This is a bit like the "one side is a bad as the other" in the 6 counties. Russia keeps on invading Ukraine, so Zelensky keeps complaining about it, and some people seem to think that complaining is as bad as invading. You have to wonder about their moral framework.
Yes, the 'both-siders' love to muddy the waters to suit their agenda.
Like people who say "The GAA and the Orange Order are as bad as each other".

Quote from: Dag Dog on February 06, 2024, 09:53:10 PMTucker Carlson is going to broadcast an interview with Putin.

Best quote I heard:
"I'm sure he'll ask Putin all about Bucha, murders of Russian journalists, assassination of Litvinenko, poisoning of Skripalis, destruction of Grozny, abduction of Ukrainian children, erasure of Ukrainian language and culture in temporarily occupied regions, Putin's affair with Alina Kabaeva, bombing of civilian targets in Ukraine, Prigozgin's death, SVR/GRU/FSB operations in the West, censorship of Internet in Russia, murder of Nemtsov, imprisonment of Kara-Murza and Evan Gershkovich...
"


whatever, it should still be an interesting interview. when does it drop?

Yeah it'll be super interesting listening to Tucker Carlson allow Putin to spout his propaganda unchallenged for two whole hours, while sitting like a nodding dog. Asking nothing about any of the above or challenging anything.

As other actual journalists have pointed out, they've requested an interview with Putin but been denied. For obvious reasons. As Carlson has been chosen, for obvious reasons.

At least it will make a change from flat out Zelensky propaganda for the last 2 years.
Russia thought they'd roll over Ukraine in 3 days, so Zelensky is doing a good job rallying help to keep them at bay.

Bruton wasn't as invested in the Peace Process as Reynolds or Ahern. He bent himself backwards to promote the Unionist point of view. I doubt he could have coaxed Sinn Fein & the IRA to an agreement.

Quote from: Dag Dog on January 09, 2024, 11:15:00 AMTankie logic about Putin and Nato goes like, the burglar broke into the house because the owner provoked them by wanting to install an alarm system. What did they expect the reaction to be? It's the owner and the alarm company's fault.
There was never going to be any burglaries, until they started putting security in.

Correct. The burglar overheard the owner saying they were getting new security installed so they thought they'd better move fast.

Though in this case the burglar actually intends to become a squatter, wreck the house as well as stealing all possessions, rape the owner's family, take a sh*t in every room and kidnap the owner's children. And tell them it's for their own good.

And the other neighbouring houses now installing home security measures are completely overreacting and only provoking a peaceful and friendly burglar.

Quote from: ThomasMullan on January 05, 2024, 01:03:26 PMBeing anti-US foreign policy doesn't make John Pilger a Putin stooge, excusing Putin's war crimes in Syria, Ukraine or wherever make him a Putin stooge or apologist would be a better word.

Guys like John Pilger and Noam Chomsky lost the plot somewhere along the way - everything has to fit into their anti-West viewpoint.
John Waters, Gemma O'Doherty and Ewan MacKenna are similar.

Quote from: Itchy on January 05, 2024, 09:40:09 AMBetter in comparison to the Iraq war, Syrian war, Gaza (I could go on). The USA (and NATO) are not the good guys. If you think they are I am afraid you are the victim of their concerted propaganda.
Better? Castrating and raping must be the better ones in your eyes.
Remind me how much Iraqi territory the USA managed to capture as their 51st state then?
 
No doubt you think that Assad and Putin are the good guys in Syria, because you do your own research, avoid the MSN.



I take your castrating/raping and I raise you Vietnam (raping and murder) and an illegal war started in Iraq with the lie of Weapons of Mass Destruction with 100's of thousands dead

Have a read of this Uncle Tom

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/15/war-on-terror-911-deaths-afghanistan-iraq/

4.5m deaths following 9/11 caused by the USA, 1m directly and 3.5m indirectly. I don't have figures on how many US soliders raped and castrated to hand but judging by what they were at in the guantanamo and abu ghraib I would be fairly confident their soldiers would be at pretty much the same horrors that the Russians are at.

The difference here is you think USA good, Russia Bad. I think USA Bad, Russia Bad. You need to open your eyes my friend.

And how does this make it right for Pilger to be a Putin stooge?


I was defending his right to be Anti NATO and Anti US, you took umbrage with that. If being Anti US and Anti NATO make you a Putin Stooge than I suppose I must be a Putin Stooge too.
He can hold whatever views he wants, but a journalist should be objective.
If he whitewashes genocide like Srebrenica because it was carried out by a group he favours, then that is dangerous.
