The Baltics?
This morning.
Government Buildings, Dublin 2.
“Our thoughts are with the innocent people of Ukraine in this their most difficult hour.
“The use of brute force in a pursuit of a warped goal is an affront.
“There are repercussions for global security and the economy.”
Taoiseach Micheal Martin this morning
Meanwhile…
Mr Martin said that Russian President Vladimir Putin “must be held accountable”, as he warned that the EU is to adopt tougher sanctions “than ever before to hit Putin and his henchmen where it hurts”.
Putin will be held accountable for ‘outrageous invasion’ – Taoiseach (RTE)
Earlier: Outcry
Meanwhile..
Has the Taoiseach forgotten when the warmongering #NATO bombed #Serbia for no good reason killing thousands…? – All for what? Just to suit a Neoliberal agenda that offered nothing to the people of Serbia or Kosovo…? https://t.co/TcpEtyYKLJ

Last night.
Idiot freezes Ireland from the biggest market in the EU.
blah blah blah
disconnect them from SWIFT that’s where it hurts
(but all you talkers don’t wanna go there do ye?)
Doing so would potentially collapse the entire SWIFT system according to some financial experts. Surely any sanctions or similar should be selected to inflict more damage on Russia than ourselves?
Not to mention both Belfast and Dublin
Is the biggest hubs in Europe dealing with Russian oligarchs business
Hundreds of billions and of course corporation tax made on the deals for our country
We also have the problem securing grain as well for farming etc
As this goes on many are suffering regarding energy bills
I can just imagine the inflation now
A crash is defiantly on the way
France, UK and Germany are owed 25 Billion each and if they closed off swift, they would never get it back
No forgetting Conor Lenihan. He’s owed some money too….
€25? that’s change down the back of the sofa
expert bankers wouldn’t recommend severing them from SWIFT? cos they’d lose access to valuable clients and all that Russian honey flow
Putin gets a pass because it’s too hard, inconvenient, inflation, whatever?
DISCONNECT THEM
He’s such a dynamic and powerful leader, go Micheal!
haha
And showing once again how completely clueless he is about the real world.
Does he really think Putin is going to switch to Lidl own brand coffee and cream or start drinking Huzzar vodka instead of the premium stuff?
None of this will bother him, it will be the ordinary Russians who bear the brunt but then Mehole has zero clue about the struggles of ordinary people no matter how many bullpoop puff pieces the Irish Time or the Indo do on his working class credentials.
I long to live in a world where we have honest politicians who would just come out and say ”we utterly condemn this but in reality nothing we do or say will make a blind bit of difference, we’re just watching from the sidelines.” But on and on we go with the gas-bagging and back slapping and hot air conveyor belt.
Great to see the whatabouter apologists reveal themselves.
are ff or fg going to reveal if they have taken donations from russian sources? contracts given to russian companies? loans from russian banks to our own oligarchs?
maybe claire byrne will do an in-depth piece on it..
lol yeah scottser it will go something like…
“Sinn Fein’s Sinister Rise – Is There Anything We Can Do To Stop Them?”
no surprise Broadsheet wudl support Putin and it ideal of invasion
you sound like you’re going to faint. are you ok?
LOL
You can tell they’re a self hater from their name
that what it takes to recognise a SF supporter=puke
luckily for you you probably havent gone futrther than Marbella in your whole comfortable like in Ireland
commies only condemn invasions/genocide when are made by other no when are done by its allies
Whats a little genocide amongst friends mick….
Wallace just another genocide denier. Like Chomsky, Pilger, Craig Murray, Vanessa Beesley, half of Corbyn’s accolytes.
…don’t you mean genocide exposer?
I know this isn’t really the site for any kind of serious discussion about current affairs but am I the only one who thinks that Mick Wallace looks like he stinks of widddle ?
That’s your idea of a serious discussion?
No, I was using humour to acknowledge that I was about to make a glib comment under a serious post.
He does though, doesn’t he ?
You look like you stink of widdle..
So was wondering when the satorially challenged tax cheat and full time quisling apparatchik Comrade Wallace would appear from his cesspit of masturbatory self delusion. But when there are a few hundred thousand dead Ukrainians, at least you can take comfort that you owned the libs, right? Same goes for most of the contributors on BS with all the bravery of being out of range behind their silly little anon handles. I’m awaiting the predictable platform here for Tucker and Bannon et al. A staple diet of Pravda meets Izvestia with a dash of the Daily Excrement and the National Enquirer washed down with a sprinkling of neo fascist QAnon loons. It’s a long way from Harry’s Dublin and worse than listen to some undergrad spouting Cuban sugar beet production figures at the Boschvik commune branch in the SU. Maybe you should all visit the workers paradise of Venezuela
To be fair to Broadsheet, they’ve actually held off posting the crazy nonsense that the likes of Trump and Carlson have been spouting over the last few days and their posts on the invasion of the Ukraine today couldn’t be classed as pro-Putin.
pssst
pass that to stephen moran in the cubicle next to you..
As believer in liberal democracy I’m not afraid to hide behind some ridiculous anon online moniker
Bodger said he’d sack me if I posted under my real name.
Brilliant..
Where’s this “liberal democracy” you’re wet for, tell us?
The irony is that Martin is little more than a henchman for the globalist cabal which is intent on imploding the global economy as it currently exists and replacing it with a supranational totalitarian digital system.
The writing has been on the wall since the financial collapse of 2008. Now there’s nowhere left to go, the idea appears to be to contrive as much chaos and suffering as is needed – the tried and tested ‘disaster capitalism’ tactic – to condition the masses to readily opt in to the new coming system.
First, they imposed extended lockdowns which had a devastating financial impact for so many around the world (and were never a viable public health measure). And now, just as Covid is rapidly waning, it’s a contrived war to create further chaos. The only real effect of “tougher sanctions than ever before on Russia” is to inflict further suffering on the average person by creating soaring energy and grain prices. What next- a major cyberwarfare attack to ensure we all reach a perfect state of “shock and awe”?

I hear you’re a Putin apologist now Ted…
