Imagine sitting with Catherine Connolly while she watches 'Home Alone'.

"Yes, of course I don't condone what the wet bandits are doing, BUT..."

"the kid is provoking them"

"that's illegal what he just did there"

"more violence is not the solution"

"why isn't there someone taking away his traps?"

"It's tragic to see a young child already a NATO warmongerer"

"they need to sit down and negotiate"

"Why isn't 'The Kevin' listening to voices calling for peace?"

"All he's doing is making profits for the paint can, rope and blowtorch manufacturers"

"The media won't tell you that Marv and Harry have legitimate security concerns."

"Where was 'The Kevin' when other houses on his block were being robbed? Classic Western hypocrisy."

"What about the suffering of the Wet Bandits' families?"

surely you don't have to make up an imaginary false equivalence scenario...

you can be critical of Nato, the EU militantarism and Putin. Its not hard to understand.

You'll look back at this post in a few years time and cringe at how toe-curlingly pathetic it is.

You can be critical of the 'Wet Bandits' but also child violence, aggression and provocation.
It's not hard to understand.

Care to address why Lithuania, Latvia, Poland all clamoured to join NATO eh PHP?

Tankie soundbites don't cut the mustard.

European aggression towards Russia perfectly encapsulated  in one picture.

https://eu.boell.org/en/2016/08/26/nord-stream-ii-shaking-hands-devil

All conveniently ignored by tankies when they talk of their 'provocation' and 'militarism' fantasies.

Could you not stick to polluting the Ukraine thread with all your tankies talk, you absolute dose

Aww boo hoo.

Catherine Connolly is a tankie and her tankie stance on Ukraine is quite rightfully coming back to bite her on the arse, it's perfectly on topic.

[Pub Bore]

I have the feeling I'll probably regret this, but...what is a "tankie"??

Is anyone else  missing the Home Alone talk? 

[Baile Brigín 2]

It's an interesting forecasted of the campaign to come.

Anti war? You are a Putin puppet.

Opposed to genocide? Anti semite.

Don't like Trump? You are anti American

Went on an official trip with people I don't like once? You are the same as them.

Grim.

Everyone is anti-war.

How does providing Ukraine with the means to defend itself make you pro-war?

It doesn't.

Sabina Higgins's poetry won't stop Russia tanks.

The so-called 'anti-war' stance of the likes of Wallace, Daly, Connolly, PHP, just means the destruction of the Ukrainian nation. They know it but will never acknowledge it because they are completely disingenuous.

[PadraicHenryPearse]

And yet perfectly acceptable to call for the exact same thing in response to Israeli Occupation and no labels, no name calling...

[Rossfan]

We're electing a ceremonial Head of State who can do nothing about Ukraine,  Russia,  Gaza, Palestine, Israel, Cuntanyahu, Putin etc etc etc.
