Basically calling for “negotiations” – but denies that Russia wants to take over/wipe out Ukraine. Another Irish leftist who’s an apologist for agression/colonialism
Unbelievable arrogance
Ciaran : “You’ve never been to Russia. .”
“I am Russian and I actually met him in Russia and worked with him in Russia.”
“Yeah well nevertheless so what big deal I’m still right.”
“our leader”, from a guy with a name like that? Is he an Uncle Tom?
Same old Russian narrative to cover up the objective failure of their operations on that front. Next he’ll be on about how it was a “goodwill gesture for negotiations” which Ukraine supposedly reneged on.
Ah yes so the long convoy marching to Kyiv and the attempt on an air strip nearby to cut off the air support that bombed said convoy never happened. The one that was just about televised live. Got it.
Typical tankie L
The Kremlin, and Western tankies (who follow the Kremlin line word for word) have desperately tried to retroactively change the narrative with repeated disinformation. According to them there was actually a ceasefire (there wasn’t) and they withdrew peacefully from the outskirts of Kyiv as a gesture of goodwill (they were routed against their will). They choose to ignore that most of the VDV were killed in Hostomel airport after they failed to get reinforcements. This and the fact that their convoy heading to Kyiv ran out of fuel and basic supplies. And the fact that they were murdering, raping, pillaging, and committing outright massacres the whole time they were there.
If you want to see the shit Irish Tankies are getting up to have a look at my post history, and go to that sub.
Fucking tankies are the worst
Uh, they tried really hard to take Kiev and failed miserably. Also, fuck up you Putin-teabagging dipshit.
“Our leader Boris Johnson “ I think auld Ciaran is on the wrong side of the Irish Sea.
They tried, they lost almost all their ‘modern’ tanks and tens of thousands of lives doing so and tried to reframe it as what we see here.
Amazing that they keep trotting out the exact same lies about Boris Johnson and about the scope of the war. They could at least try to be a bit more creative
It’s the same misrepresentation of the facts that Corbyn in the UK peddles and our own Moscow Mick and Kremlin Claire. The spiel that this war needs to end now because Ukrainians and poor **Russian soldiers** are dying without any reference or condemnation of the unjustifiable invasion in the first place.
If the Kremlin wins this war, this won’t end with Ukraine. Some people from this point of view are completely delusional in thinking that the Russians are rational in this invasion. It’s the same evil irredentism that destroyed Europe 80 years ago.
As for the claim that Russia didn’t want to take Kyiv; it’s pretty clear that they were genuinely surprised that Ukraine fought back and that they weren’t welcomed with bread and salt. The story of the Vladimir riot police convoy that got lost, overtook the armoured column and ended up annihilated in the middle of Kyiv is pretty clear that the Russian leadership expected to be parading through the city as liberators.
Can we have this tankie cancelled please? I don’t like Russian stooges getting paychecks from the tax payer.
A fifth of Ukraine is right. Similar to the north being occupied but the brits are actively waging war on us and attemping to conquer the entire country.
To put it into perspective, this would be our equivalent-
Every border county is actively at war frontlines and dug out trenches, members of the defence forces getting hockeyed out of it because the brits have superior numbers in men, tanks, artillery shells and air power. With many contested towns on the border reduced to rubble. (to get an idea of what that looks like, search for images of the town Marinka before the war and what it’s like now) Everywhere within 40km of the border is within artillery range and the brits are indiscriminately shelling into towns full of civvies.
But that doesn’t make everywhere else safe. Our navy has been knocked out, we have no ships so the brittish navy has full control of the Irish sea and stops us from exporting our produce.
Oh and towns/cities much much further from that 40km artillery range do not remain unaffected. Galway, Dublin, Waterford and even as far south as Cork are sporadically prone to intense missile barrages, again on civilian targets because why the fuck not?
20% of Ukraine is right. That’s with Ukraine still putting up a fight. You think if all the lads on the 0 line just left their positions in the trenches, the Russians would just stay in theirs without moving forward and conquering more land?
RU threw their best airborne units into taking the airfield at Hostomel, just outside Kiev, and they failed. They lost a huge amount of special forces in the attack, VDV and Spetsnaz. These would have been the units tasked with eliminating the Ukrainian government. Laughable to think this was a bargaining move. RU got fucked in the initial attack on Kiev, just propaganda saying it was a faint.
Did he happen to sleep through the entirety of the invasion from Belarus, the Battle of Hostomel and the 40km long backlogged supply convoy? Only way he could have missed it.
The spelling of Kyiv is a deliberate slight too. His sort are not worth the effort.
Tankies need to be ostracized the same way nazis are.
Do people really want that yoke indoctrinating students?
Irish people who defend Russia astound me to be honest. Like gee, if only there was a parallel to be drawn…
Say that to the Russian airborne battalions who died by the hundred to try take Hostomel airfield. They had ready armaments ready to fly in and they had kill lists for local politicians. They even had riot shields and tear gas stored for crowd suppression.
The Russian intelligence agencies were fed bad info by either double agents or more likely by greedy informants telling them what they want to hear. This lecturer is an idiot.
You can tell these people are Russia apologists because they always insist on spelling the names of Ukrainian cities in Russian.
Oh Jesus Christ the fuckers only a postgrad research student worse still sociology and already spouting shite like this.
They also went in with mobile crematoriums. Explain that one.
It’s quite incredible how so many who have eschewed a life of actual work for a life of study in their chosen subject can still be obviously wrong/full of shit/demented. What is the chicken/egg scenario with regard to university level teaching and apologia for all sorts of totalitarian/terrorist ideologies? A hatred of capitalism shouldn’t necessitate supporting Putinist Russia ffs
Silly Vaknik
If I had a euro for every left wing PHD student spouting their detached political opinions on twitter I would be a very wealthy man.
Humanities are rife with these kinds of people
All funded by a taxpayer Salary ofc. These ppl wouldn’t last five mins in a real job.
God… He’s making my degree look even more worthless now….
Forget the Ukraine stuff, what’s this “Our leader Boris Johnson” stuff about?
Before labelling everyone on the left that you don’t like a tankie, perhaps consider that the original tankies were so-named because of their support of violent military action, not their opposition to it.
