Russia invades Ukraine Feb 2022

[Mad Mentor]

Surely Russia can no longer be considered to be on the left of politics? With Putin, oligarchs et al they are surely what should be considered far right?

Absolutely, and a gaggle of Orthodox Clerics at every State function.

Obviously yes, but somehow the Far Left in Ireland still hold a candle for them - People Before Profit heads like Boy Barrett and Paul Murphy, Mick Wallace, Clare Daly, Catherine Connolly etc.

It could be nostalgia for the old world order pre-1989, before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Or else a hatred of western-ism where they would hitch their wagons onto any crackpot regime like Russia, North Korea etc.

It's the latter.

Russia is not interested in peace. They are continuing their policy of trying to murder and terrorise Ukrainians into capitulation.

Do the tankies, selective anti-imperialists and not the real Dale Cooper feel ashamed of themselves now for believing and spreading the propaganda of these monsters?

Some difference (though not surprising) regarding political reaction to this tragedy compared to what Cuntanyahu does basically every day of the week.

How about calling for Russia to withdraw and Israel to withdraw?
Wouldn't you prefer that?

Mick is pumping out Kremlin propaganda to beat the band. It's not just Ukraine he has a problem with, he circulates propaganda against other neighbours under threat from Moscow.

Here he is complaining about Latvia taking down the statues paying homage to their USSR occupiers.

your link states that that was also the position of UN Human Rights watch but honestly I know nothing of that particular issue.
