Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov defends Ukraine war arguing UK could invade Ireland

  1. The fuck they could, the UK can’t even organise proper leadership let alone organise a invasion

  2. They can’t wait to get rid of the part of Ireland they still occupy…

    Also I don’t think he understands just how powerful the relationship between US and Ireland is. Brits have only began waking up to it re NI Protocol / Brexit negotiations. Not a hope of anyone invading – although this doesn’t mean we should neglect much needed defence spending.

  3. Conveniently glossing over the fact that if the U.K. invaded Ireland it would be widely condemned by the rest of the world.

  4. An idiot propagandist for barbarism. Tonight Russian missiles are reported to have struck a town in Poland killing two people. Poland is entitled to invoke NATO articles for mutual Defence.

  5. From the very beginning when they spouted their BS about liberating their brother Ukrainians and Russian speakers many of us said that this was such a stupid excuse because that it’d be like the UK invading the Republic to liberate all the English speakers from the Gealgoir tyrany. Who knew that the Russian reply to that comparison would be….**Exactly!!**

  6. Does he know that Ireland is in the EU

    The EU’s Mutual Defence Clause — Article 42.7 in the Treaty of Lisbon — was approved in 2007 and has been in force since 2009.

    It states that “if an EU country is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other EU countries have an obligation to aid and assist it by all means in their power.”

    And the US would be pissed as well and definitely take action

  7. People on this thread getting angry at the prospect of the UK theoretically invading Ireland, something which’ll never happen, instead of at Lavrov, the man making the suggestion in order to deflect from his own country’s barbarism in Ukraine.

  8. Russia truly is stuck in the past, UK and Ireland largely considered military allies today with a number of mutual defence agreements.

  9. UK’s most right-wing mules likes of Nigel Farage has pushed for Irexit to happen in order to cut Ireland out of the EU to make it easier to coerce Ireland to rejoin the UK but he couldn’t even dodge a milkshake, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Besides, maybe Russia shouldn’t act as if isn’t a colonialist empire because every accusation is a confession.

  10. Our government is so full of dumbshit ideas lavrov is probably buying popcorn as we speak. Imagine if Johnson thought he had a chance of capturing Ireland. Oh god
