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.

WTF is she doing here, should she not be in Russia? It takes up on sixth of the land on earth, there should be room for her there.

Ironically, that's what Paisley et al used to say about Catholics in the north.

Give yer head a wobble


She is here under false pretences as a person driven out by Russians when she is supportive of this this is nothing to do with Catholics in the North, quite the opposite actually.

Did he say she was here as a refugee?

I did not indeed. She's working in Dublin, with a house etc.

"from near Donbas"
"leaving the country in wartime"

I think it's fair to assume she came here as a refugee.

In any case, visa free travel to Ireland for Ukrainians was created for the purpose of receiving refugees.

p.s. Ukrainians are allowed to work and rent a house as they see fit. They aren't required to live in hotels etc.

Has the Carlson Interview done anything to change anyone's view on Russia/Ukraine War?, Mainstream Media? or was this just a free reign for Putin to spout his own propaganda?

Not only as they allowed to, they have a right to work and are expected to do the same as everyone else.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Watched the first hour of this today. Putin didn't say much of anything that he hasn't spouted before.

It was amusing though to see the look of bewilderment on Carlson's face as Putin launched into a half hour pseudo history (fantasy) lesson at the start of the interview.

One take away of interest is that apparently it was the Poles who started WW2 by making Hitler invade them. Sounds familiar.

And that's why Soviet Russia invaded the other half of Poland as per Nazi/USSR pact, killed a million Poles and made life hell for the rest.

A point that any actual journalist or even the bloke from down the pub would have brought up but Carlson just sat there staring at him with that stupid constipated look on his face.

Missed the, we shot 10,000 polish soldiers in a certain forest when they invaded East Poland, then blamed the Nazis.

After sinking Russian corvette 'Ivanovets' just 13 days ago, Ukraine have followed up by sinking the large landing ship 'Cezar Kunikov'.

First poisoned then incarcerated after a show trial, tortured mentally and physically, transferred to a jail north of the Arctic circle, held in total isolation and yet managed to be an intolerable thorn in the eyes of the Kremlin just by still being alive.
