Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Clare Daly talking with Pat Kenny right now.

She is agreeing that Putin is as bad as the dictators.

Wants to follow the Mexico proposal - dialogue and peace.

A negotiated peace settlement, is not rolling over apparently.

She seems to labour under the illusion that Putin will honour the "negotiated peace settlement" he puts his name to and do as the Ukranian people wish. I will be polite and simply describe her as naive.

I'm disappointed in Pat. He isn't challenging her on her voting record - in our name don't forget with her there as an Irish MEP.

"The terrorist country, Russia, has carried out massive missile and air strikes on the territory of Ukraine, also using attack drones. In the morning, the aggressor launched 75 missiles, 41 of them were shot down by our air defence," General Valeriy Zaluzhny said

Considering how Russia threatened the 'end of the world' response to any attack on Russian territories that has been a lame response from them. Can't be long now and Russia will not have a leg to stand on.

She trusts the Russians apparently.

And war atrocities have been committed by all sides, not just the Russians.

How is Pat treating her? Please tell me he has shredded this demented embarrassment of a witch.

You don't seem to have addressed much, just fantasies of how your political football team doing well over next few months will inevitably lead to what you desire for some unholy reason (halt of the US support for Ukraine!). Even if the Republicans do quite well in the elections, which is bad, I don't think this will come to pass.

Anyway, the hypocrisy of the Trumpy US right (i.e. people such as you, sharing lovely Ben Garrison cartoon of vampiric Zelensky grabbing a bag of money!) whose Republican predecessors happily cheerled wasting of trillions of US dollars and thousands of US soldiers lives on a war of choice in Iraq calling Biden/democrats "hawks" for stumping up the tiny by comparison cost for aiding Ukraine here is sickening.

I think you've judged "Europe" incorrectly too as regards response to hardship, and this war is much closer to home here. Much of population in Europe won't have the liberty that US public may have of just not paying very much attention to it and tuning it out completely. The kind of resolution Europe needs to this is the cost for Russia becoming so intolerable that they can't carry on any more whatever fantasies of Putin and his clique demand. We're getting there slowly I think. An appeasement of Putin/ending support for Ukraine and hoping for a pat on the head won't help Europe with their energy/fossil fuel problems now, and most voters know that very well.

Also your faux military "analysis" + long paragraphs of nonsense claiming Putin/Russian military has some very "clever" strategy with targetting of civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine are worthless. It's a simple one you don't need to have any expertise in military matters to recognise. Creating terror + panic and sapping will of Ukraine to fight on. It's also happening because Putin/leadership are furious about progress of the war, rhetoric against Ukraine by Russian nationalists etc. has become thoroughly genocidal and Russia is lashing out any way they can. You should have stuck to being scourge of Greta + providing "alternative" Climate Science IMO.

There's still a lot more they can do to the Ukrainans ,

The glove's need to be removed and Target Russian cities in direct retaliation every time a Ukrainan city gets hit and Russian city should be hit in direct response

This is why I'm glad you're not in charge of anything that requires strategic thinking. 😉

This is a terrible idea. It would change the entire narrative of a just war been fought against a vicious dictatorship. Western support would dissolve.

Targeting Ukrainian civilians does nothing but increase Ukrainian support to remove the Russian invaders from their country.

Were Ukraine to do likewise to Russia, it would probably have a similar effect on the Russian population who up to now have been largely ambivalent about the Russian invasion. Keeping the level of domestic Russian support low, is of greater strategic benefit in the long term to Ukraine, than resorting to tit for tat.

It's all very easy for her. He let her off. Very disappointed in him. He gives Luke O'Neill a bigger challenge.

Mick Wallace and Clare Daly would make you ashamed to be Irish. Disgusting. Shame on anyone who voted these clowns into representing us in Europe. A holy show as usual.

I'd love to get a good, hard look at their financial history. Mick in particular.

I can not say I understand in the least the likes of Daly and Co. They do seem to live in some kind of crackers alt-reality world. Its not uncommon unfortunately they're Dalys all over the world. Maybe we should ask a shrink to look into them. We might get a fright by that report!

Congress has voted overwhelmingly to support Ukraine with military aid. The November elections wont change that dynamic at all.

Russia didn't look like they were running out of missiles this morning, but yes it's bizarre that the west are refusing to supply air defence systems that could at least minimised the damage we saw today.

Some are reluctant to supply cutting edge tech to Ukraine in case it fails to do what they say. This is the same reason Turkey has been sanctioned by NATO in the past, as they acquired Russian S400's and NATO members did not want a member state to have Russian air defence and NATO aircraft

While Ukraine is a great proving ground for military hardware, it goes both ways. If it's known that Ukraine has modern NATO air defences for example, and then Russia are still able to get their missiles on target, it may embolden them to do more knowing air defences cant cope.
