Fascinating that despite cosplay & attempted application of Fascism in US that Trump & his ilk engage in, the closest thing to a functioning large Far Right country is Russia. And Irish Left can't stop defending it. It's a muscle memory from the Soviet era they can't shake.

A year ago I made a big database of odd incidents in Europe, like hacks, arson, airport disruption, sabotage, weird inflammatory pranks involving pigs’ heads and so on, that were confidently and publicly linked to Russia by investigators irishtimes.com/world/europe/…

BREAKING: BBC has developed a secret emergency broadcasting plan to keep the UK informed if a major blackout or cyberattack shuts down electricity, internet and communication networks. Around 100 BBC staff will operate a special emergency radio studio with independent power, food, water and fuel supplies to keep broadcasts running for at least three days. The plan relies on FM radio, which can continue operating even when internet and mobile networks go down. The UK is also preparing for a potential nationwide crisis, with officials urging the country to be ready to withstand a major disruption for at least 72 hours.

Supposedly intelligent people on here actually seem to believe the Irish state is carrying out a series of false flag attacks in the country to push Ireland into NATO

What can we take from the use of ‘Male State’, a Russian extremist misogynist group, in bomb threats this week? Lecturer on terrorism Anna Kruglova, who has studied the group, explains that the name is likely being used as a front - and why irishtimes.com/world/europe/…

Собака Жужа дев’ять діб під обстрілами в Бахмуті годувала бійців ЗСУ, викопуючи з-під землі залишені сухпайки. Ця історія сталася в 2023 році, яку в 77-й бригаді згадують і зі сміхом, і з вдячністю: п’ять десантників мали протримати позицію три доби, а застрягли там на дев’ять. Через щільний ворожий вогонь їх не могли ні змінити, ні підвезти провізію. Поруч весь цей час була собака, яка прибилася до позиції ще до їхнього приходу. Її назвали Жужею. Спочатку було п’ять пайків на п’ятьох - і ділилися з собакою. Далі один галет на трьох, але Жужі все одно щось перепадало. А коли їжі не стало зовсім, Жужа почала сама носити їм їжу: викопувала з-під землі та завалів залишені пайки й консерви і притягла на позицію чотири-п’ять сухпайків. Бійці відкривали їх і віддавали собаці її частку. А коли Жужа знайшла десь палицю ковбаси - ділитися нею з хлопцями не захотіла, з’їла сама. Цю деталь хлопці згадують зі сміхом. Найбільше з нею потоваришував Роман "Ластівка" Кліщук із Ковеля. Він казав, що собака ніби зрозуміла: якщо її перестали годувати, то тепер її черга нести їжу їм. Коли на дев’яту добу бійці виходили з позиції, почався мінометний обстріл. Жужа злякалася вибухів і побігла в посадку. Роман побіг за нею, забрав на руки і не залишив. Потім був "Хаммер" - і Жужа поїхала з ними. Пізніше Роман отримав поранення і потрапив до госпіталю. Ще в лікарні він пообіцяв забрати свою бойову подругу додому - на Волинь, у Ковель. І зробив, як сказав: Жужа подолала понад тисячу кілометрів і зустрілася з ним. Після реабілітації він повернувся на фронт - уже без неї. Жужа залишилася вдома з родиною, під наглядом бабусі захисника. За свій героїчний вчинок чотирилапа захисниця отримала державну відзнаку в рамках проєкту ”Собаки-Герої України”. Ця історія - не про пафос, а про просту взаємність на війні: коли люди діляться останнім із твариною, а тварина зрештою рятує їх.

RED WAVE incoming! In Dallas, Tarrant, and Collin Counties, wait times at red precincts are significantly higher than at blue precincts. Definitely feels like the Democrats burned through their high-propensity voters on the first two days of early voting. Called it.

I did not say that the Triple Lock has anything to do with national defence @ciarannugent, but that is not to say that it has nothing to do with national security. National security includes the safety of Irish citizens overseas. For example, if we ever need to be able to field a force to secure one or several rescue airheads that will perforce be without a UN Resolution. National defence and national security are sovereign Irish matters, over whom the ultimate authority must be Dáil Eireann, our elected representatives. Not a corrupted "Security" Council controlled by five Permanent Members with vetoes and enough influence to block any Resolution passing through the General Assembly.

Rescuers pulled injured animals from the rubble of a school where people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid, only to be bombed by russians instead. So far, 26 people are confirmed dead. Many are still missing, and many others have been hospitalized. 📍Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine

When Ukrainians were evacuated from Oleshky, they brought not only their own pets, but also animals they managed to rescue along the way. 🐾 Ukrainian volunteers will care for them and find them loving homes. So proud of @UAnimalsENG and everyone making this possible! 🇺🇦❤️

תראו מה הולך כאן עכשיו בת"א: עשרות אלפים צועדים בעד הקמת ממשלה יהודית-ערבית על בסיס 67 המנדטים שניצחו בבחירות. מנדטים של יהודים וערבים שרוצים שינוי. זה מה שהעם הכריע ועכשיו - להקים ממשלה.

Piccoli profughi a quattro zampe evacuati da Oleshki. "Non lasciamo indietro nessuno" per alcuni è solo un vuoto slogan, ma per gli Ucraini è un patto scritto col sangue. Animali compresi.

They are upwards of 20,000 Cubans fighting for Russia to murder Ukrainian civilians and steal Ukrainian land. Ukraine owes Cuba NOTHING. Hope this helps!
Ukraine did this after Cuba spent hundreds of millions of dollars treating thousands of sick Ukrainian children from Chernobyl. Cuba spent 20 years providing specialised care they couldn't afford in Ukraine. Ukraine paid nothing, voting to starve Cuba was their payment I guess.

Replying to @ClareDalyIRL
I stand by my 44-year record of service to the State. I will side with Europe’s democracies every time. I contrast my position with your persistent pro-Russian stance. I regard your criticisms of me as a badge of honour.
