Murphy has spent pretty much the entire invasion saying he condemns Russia but demanding we take the exact same actions that Russia demands.
This is very misleading, Ireland will only be providing limited training supports, not “full scale military” training.
What does the flag mean?
Some lads never left the Student politics behind
Unpopular opinion….no such thing as neutrality
Why does paul say this as if its a bad thing. Surely de-mining is a universally good thing.
I don’t see an issue with either situation in the deputies tweet tbh
This will be a standard de-mining training mission.
DF engineers have provided this type of training before, and will not train thousands of Ukrainians!
Paul Murphy is a posh, shit stirring fucktard, with no political remit. All loud mouth and no credibility.
It is entirely possible that an EU military training mission may be established, however, Ireland may not supply troops.
Paul Murphy is the very definition of a Gowlbag
Even if we were training Ukrainian troops, what’s wrong with that?
It’s full scale de mining training of 15,000 Ukrainian troops maybe.
Which makes sense – they’ve a lot of land to cover.
“you would think that it’s just training, when in fact it’s just training” Thanks Paul.
Russia: razing cities, pillaging whatever is left and raping civilians en masse along with torture and mass murder
This guy and others : *”But what about NATO!?! America bad! They promised not to expand east, what about the Minsk Agreements??”*
Gobshites.
What. The. Eff.
At this point in their invasion, i don’t think there’s anything the Ukrainians could learn from the Irish military regarding active combat operations.
Whereas, we have extensive experience in de-mining in post-conflict zones and peacekeeping zones.
Catch yourself on, ya numpty.
“Irish troops providing training in de-mining” – to 15,000 Ukrainian troops
“Military training of 15,000 Ukrainian troops” – in de-mining
You’ve said the same thing twice Paul, you fucking numpty
Paul Murphy is a tankie who wants Ukraine completely defenseless to be rolled over by Russia, despite his non-stop concern trolling. He’s an absolute disgrace.
“Full scale military training of 15,000 Ukranian troops”
Excellent news. Anything we can do to help.
Paul Murphy sucking authoritarian shithole dick again.
Colour me surprised
Full scale military training? We’re not exactly experienced Invaders.
Lots of peacekeeping experience though.
It fucking hurts seeing Paul go for misses on Ukraine constantly. I support PBP and I am literally a member in a local branch. It makes it so hard to keep being a member and organising on their behalf when they come out with shit like this.
Whenever the war is over, however long it will take, who will the Ukrainians thank? The orgs/countries who sent them billions worth of equipment and material to organize a resistance against an Imperialist war machine, or the supposed Anti-Imperialist Socialists who resisted at every opportunity to support and assist them? While his calls for cancelling Ukraine’s debt and stopping the exploitative banking system floating over them are 100% valid, Ukraine needs the help for its defenses more than anything. Debt Cancellation won’t stop missiles from flying into their apartments. Debt Cancellation won’t stop the blackouts in their hospitals. Meanwhile, an AA-System designed to shoot down missiles fucking will. Troops trained in de-mining protocols will make the lands safer for all the inhabitants on the soil. Worthless calls for peace from a fucking Island thousands of miles away wont do anything to a fucking narcissistic dictator bent on imperialist reconquest.
The worst part is, if you don’t support that complete anti-west rhetoric where we just leave Ukrainians to fend for themselves, you are a “War-Enabler”. Just let Ukraine get taken over, because we didn’t support Yemen or Palestine enough. Let Ukraine get taken over because America waged its own wars of Imperialism. Its total fucking non sense, and you’ll see PBP suffer because of this. I already know some people who don’t call themselves lefties at all and they support PBP’s economic policies but drop their complete support because of spineless shit like this.
If we weren’t doing anything he’d complain that the government is sitting on its hands in the face of imperialism. Man is a grifter, pure and simple.
This fuckin guy.
I respected him years ago when he actually made sense but the tin foil hat has been hovering around his bald head for a while.
I’ve heard reports of Russians leaving behind mines hidden in civilian homes, including in one case, under a baby’s cot. So I’m happy we are helping to demine
Of which, Irish troops training in de mining. Like we do in Africa and the Middle East, for the last 40+ years. Click bait tweet.
Paul is an idiot. Ive no love of SF but will be happy when they take his seat
Why does he have a trans flag after his name?
Oh no… So terrible to train a country’s military to be able to defend itself against an illegal oppressor.
Jaysus. I hope he isn’t shilling for the Kremlin for free
That lad never grew out of his lefty college phase.

I don’t understand. Is the number of troops important when training for de-mining?
Paul “Appeasement works” Murphy.
Oh, *no*. We can’t have our people training Ukrainians!
Why, that might help prevent Russia from occupying Ukraine!
Fuck off, Paul.
An idiot is an understatement
Paul Murphy is the biggest clown in Ireland.
15,000 people trained sounds great, thanks for sharing Paul
Absolutely pathetic shite from Murphy.
Ireland will be training Ukrainian troops in demining, an area which is vital given landmines tendency to [affect](https://www.icrc.org/en/document/committing-anti-personnel-mine-ban-saves-civilian-lives) civilians, given Russia is the only party [using](https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/06/15/ukraine-russian-landmine-use-endangers-civilians) antipersonnel mines in the conflict.
The fact he’s trying to equate demining with a breach of neutrality is extremely telling.
Murphy has spent pretty much the entire invasion saying he condemns Russia but demanding we take the exact same actions that Russia demands.
