Not quite sure what the first sentence is saying. But the presidents letter from earlier in the week reveals how much UCD are in the thrall of the chinese, moreso than any other of the IUA member
I can confirm this. As a regular attendee of the Irish Ball in Beijing, we always wondered why UCD took so many tables. We knew they were for shilling for business but didnt realise how much pipe they had taken. Surprised UCC isnt involved. They were similar.
Glenshane also queried his bona-fides. There might he something to be said for a smidgeon of diplomacy on his part, or maybe not. Applying for EU membership at this point seems unlikely to settle putin any, quite the opposite. Then again it might be something to offer to take off the table in eventual peace negotiations. If hes lucky he might negotiate Ukraine back into whatever nuclear agreements there already were…but with a bit less territory
You’re not allowed question the narrative here. God forbid you point out some people here are completely disingenuous and dishonest in their narrative.
It’s just amazing how few of the militant chaps here as so at ease with Western backed genocide themselves. Really brings into focus what their real concern is and it’s not the people of Ukraine.
We need to kick start the peace negotiations on tfk. For most the idea of bartering with putin is repugnant- it will grant him credibility, encourage further conquests, embolden tyrants elsewhere etc. The alternative is to turn russia into a wasteland and let Europe bear the consequences of what that will entail for the next 50 years- chunks of russia will lurch further eastwards, we’ll see the rise of more extreme right wing russian nationalism etc
But weve already seen elsewhere that no-one has the appetite for peace until sufficient blood has been spilled.
Im assuming this is going to end with a bigger russia, a bloody nose for US expansionist plans and a smaller neutrual Ukraine.
