I've just discovered this song which I really like is completely Al generated!

@fiannafailparty @MichealMartinTD It's an international crisis that could get worse. Restoring prices will be meaningless if this happens. The protestors are dealing in shorttermism and self interest. The whole world is suffering. The protesters can't be allowed to hi-jack the entire country.

@Haggis_UK The US and Russia both want Orban to win. What does that say?

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS From what I understand, unless there are drastic changes, this will undermine European defence and give a huge green light to China. A temporary fix, nothing more, with longterm ramifications. In my opinion.

[Michael Scanlon @MScanlonAuthor]

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS In the words of Winston Churchill: 'You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war.' Jesus, this man, does he know nothing?

@JDVance Fantasies can come true if you want them to. You don't. The Spartans taught us that lesson. From your ivory tower you speak down to those drowning in the blood and guts of war and turn your back. A noble defeat is better than an ignominious victory.

[Michael Scanlon @MScanlonAuthor]

@RoseFle54723126 @GrainneogDoc I don't get it. While Ukraine for eg desperately fights for its very survival, pleading to be admitted to any defence organisation that can help it, we're like, nah, don't need it, we're neutral, Bud. The arrogance. One day a bully might come for us.

@GreenwichCork Good man...👏👏👏

@DietHeartNews @Bricktop_NAFO You fail to mention Crimea is 90% Russian because the Tatars were ethnically cleansed after WW2. As for the referendum, the ballot boxes were of clear perspex with the ballots inside clearly visible. An armed guard stood guard in every polling stn.

@OdohertyI64991 By Euro standards, Mamdani is a centralist. I worked in NY, paid City, State and Federal taxes, got nothing in return. Give him a chance, I think he'll surprise you.

@RickSanchezTV The hand movements, the biting of the finger smirking self rightuousness, and the cool Norwegian in a suit. Both either brainwashed or quislings in the pay of Moscow. Time will reveal all, hopefully. It's a long road that doesn't turn.

@CormacS63 The reality is many who voted for her didn't think too deeply about it. They liked her warm smile and syrupy voice. That was enough. Unfortunately.

[Michael Scanlon @MScanlonAuthor]

@RoseFle54723126 I don't think @BowesChay really cares about any of this. I think his motivation is fuelled by petty resentments & preceived slights in Ireland. Any upset he generates here gives him great satisfaction. Meanwhile, I'd say his money is safety in an (Irish) bank.

@HeatherH It amazes me the amount of people I know voting for CC but haven't a clue of her visit to Syria or spinning Putin's line on the causes of the Ukraine War. When I tell them they're like 😮People really need to educate themselves, just a little.

[Michael Scanlon @MScanlonAuthor]

@johnparker100 @RACO_DF @SimonHarrisTD Yes, but as an ex-soldier (few years ago now) unfortunately the criteria listed was woefully lacking in the officer class, an opinion universal among the ranks. Prove your mettle & earn the respect of the men, then worry about allowances and pay. Respectfully.

@StewartFitzell And in the cookhouse cleaning pots and pans. And in the officers mess as waiters. And the rest of the time generally bored out of their skulls. I thought it had changed.
