@EireGalloglaigh It must be awful for you that, under invasion by a superpower who don't even collect their own dead or wounded, Ukraine isn't satisfting your own unique take on how to behave. still, they've held Russia back and they remain a democracy. It's not a game. It's their survival.
@lil_doza That's nothern Ireland,and ultra loyalist scum like that lot have been around a lot longer than Robinson. They're a dying breed and they know it. This is them flailing as the life leaves their movement.
@mhmck@irishelt All from 5 million people. Aughinish needs to go, but if you're a serious person, you might want to mention all we've done for Ukraine, from day 1. The UK tried to stop them coming in, everyone else was still selling weapons parts to Russia, etc.
@mhmck@irishelt We don't support Russian imperialism. We've ejected half their 'diplomats'. We've given shelter to more Ukranians per capita than any other western country. Housing, social welfare, education, business grants, healthcare, etc, and we've spent well over a billion € doing so.
@EireGalloglaigh I meant the part about Ukraine. It's a democracy, trying to break free of fascist, imperialist Russia's corrupt hold. That's why Putin invaded.
@Ross___Mack@eoin_murchu@PhillipsPOBrien A handful of people do. We know them all by name too. Find a country without a handful of twats in it. You won't be able to.
@eoin_murchu@drue2514@PhillipsPOBrien You actually want Ukraine to be occupied by tyrannical Russia. You're not a Republican. You're a retro-fantasist, hoping one of the the most oppressive regimes ever, the Soviet Union, makes some sort of comeback. It's not happening. Ukraine doesn't want to be occupied. You can
@PHO_69@BillMWBennett@PhillipsPOBrien Words? Ask the 100k + Ukranians if the welcome and supports they've received in Ireland are just 'words'. Also, 5+ billion euro, isn't 'words'.
@PhillipsPOBrien@JayinKyiv One other thing, nothing I've said detracts from my wanting Aughinish either closed anyway, it's an environmental bomb already going off, or at least forced to be sold to someone else who isn't Russian scum.
@PhillipsPOBrien@JayinKyiv and took im more Ukranians fleeing war, per capita, than any other western country. We welcomed them with open arms ah gave everything we could, all while we already had significant housing issues. 5 million people. Over 1 billion Euro given. Do the math on that!
@_JakubJanda The UK made it as hard as possible for Ukranians fleeing invasion to go there. The French sold disassembled weapons to Russia, to get around sanctions. Germany offered helmets. We opened our doors, no questions, no complaints.
@_JakubJanda Apologies. I made a mistake on my reply. It's actually over 100 thousand Ukranians. Free healthcare. Housing. Education. Job supports. Enterprise grants for new businesses, etc etc etc. You think we're supporting Russia?!! Beyond ridiculous!!
