    Something for the weekend. The friends of Mick Wallace and Claire Daly happy in their work.
    Now that’s what I call real tyranny Russian style.

    & reasons to be cheerful – Russia may be in for a bit of the old Iraqi style insurgency. Hopefully the Ukrainians are as adept at making IEDs

      Didn’t you just post this in another story, now why would you be spamming these articles I wonder. Most here agree that Russian tanks rolling into Kiev is wrong. But your deranged posts praying for IEDs don’t do you any favours

      Don’t these ratlickers know the pandemic is still raging. They are killing grannies by not wearing masks while out in a large group. That’s not going to be safe to do until Monday

    Russian foreign ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova warns Finland and Sweden they would ‘face some military and political consequences’ if they tried to join NATO

    Not just the ‘ethnic Russians’ or Russian-speakers in this sphere of influence then. Another Russian lie exposed it we all didn’t know this already

    Of course if the EU and NATO hadn’t expanded then Putin would have tirelessly devoted himself to world peace and the brotherhood of man.

    ‘For example if in Ireland they prohibited the English language, what would the UK think about it? I can’t imagine that a law like that would last for more than a couple of days..’
    Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov attempting to justify invading Ukraine.. wha?

    I think it’s high time to politely decline to be insulted further and courteously direct his amanuensis on Orwell Road in the direction of the airport.

      Apparently, Sergey Lavrov and Comrade President Putin have personally suffered the full force of The British Government’s financial assets sanctions. I suspect Prez Putin’s ATM card will still work tonight when he nips out of The Kremlin, to his local MacDonald’s in Moscow tonight. for his Friday night take-out.
      A poor analogy of language, as a lesson in history, can’t figure, if you’re being sarcastic, or ironic? Irony welcomed – sarcasm, isn’t that what the British do? The very least An Taoiseach can do is to suspend The Russian Embassy – In a Neutral Country, it’s a diplomatic nightmare, notwithstanding the current real nightmare in Ukraine.

          Apologies, I’m clearly not across everything. We lost our language, slowly recovering, @100 years later. Tá cúpla focal ag an tam, anois. (I’m talking about Ireland). Lots of Irish types fought in the Spanish Civil War – neutrality, it’s only when non-government sanctioned people fight, that the neutrality of the region can be questioned. I think that a few squadrons of West Belfast, Shankill and Fall’s Road types – they know about Molotov cock-tails?
