100,000 Russian troops getting ready to obliterate Kharkiv again
Have no fear Varadkar is on his way
I wonder did Zelenskyy play a few of his favorite disco classics for him.
Those eejits wonāt even be able to find Kharkiv let alone obliterate it.

Did Leo compare socks with him and go for a jog?
He tried but Zelenskyy was having none of it.
The above photo was quickly dropped from the RTE website.

Iād love to know how the logistics of these things work.
Like on a much bigger scale, the Biden trip over there a couple of months back.
There must be a very small cohort that have some serious stories to tell.
Awkward
Superb interview. The parallells between Russians view on Ukraine with Brits on Ireland circa Home Rule are striking

The expressions flanking Zelenskyy would indicate that the strategists have never heard of Ireland but we thank you, all the same.
The exact opposite to what the lads were telling us on here

We havenāt seen anything so callous, mercenary and psychopathic from our leaders since ww1.
There are probably between 300 and 350k dead Ukrainians this stage, many more maimed. But with ith an eye on the 2024 election the Americans spin the notion that the Ukrainians are ārisk averseā. Itās quite a leap.
In case thereās any doubt, a peace deal was in place in april of '21. No loss of territory for Ukraine, neutrality, autonomy for Eastern Ukraine etc. Boris flew in to scupper the deal, and anyone who thinks he wasnāt doing the bidding of the US is basically a clown. Meanwhile zelensky has sacked recruitment officials in all 22 regions of Ukraineā¦helping those that can afford the bribes to escape the country, and the slaughter. Maybe itās not so sweet and noble to die for ones country.
Btw. American officials say they fear that Ukraine has become casualty averse. Think about that for a second.
