Heard there were lads connected to the big hotels using Ukrainian youngwans as domestic sex slaves.

Even when the deal was “signed” it was stated that nothing would be able to get out for a couple of weeks, it’s not just a case of signing something and away you go.
I don’t expect anything to get out, it seems clear - and should have done at the time - that the Russians are not in any way serious, and only signed an “agreement” for the hell of immediately breaking it.
World hunger is one of their few remaining weapons. Deliberately causing artificial famine is in the DNA of Russian rulers.

Reading Boards.ie and Politics.ie over the years, pro-Russia posters proliferated to such an extent and dedicated such an amount of time to trolling there that there was little doubt at least some of them were were being paid to be on there.
Happily we don’t have any paid pro-Russia trolls on this forum - the Russians don’t pay lads who are as thick as ten planks and couldn’t tie their own shoelaces, never mind construct a basic argument or even a point about anything.
