Myb soviet rule in ukraine because of famines and treating non russians as second class citizens???
But really it’s sickening how politicians’ mouths are full of ukraine
💀bro….
Well, the times were different back then, but she’s not completely wrong.
I don’t see how it’s controversial. It was more or less the same, even the famine.
Long live the quire!
>“Today, another European nation is fighting for independence. Of course, Ireland is far away from the front line in Ukraine. But you understand better than most why this war matters so much to all of us.”
Dunno what’s controversial about that. It’s objective fact that we treated Ireland like shit, and they did have to fight for their freedom. Suck it up.
Could we not engage in inflammatory rhetoric that will drive Europe farther apart?
She just needs to shut up, really …
The Telegraph is not a good news source.
She didn’t she compared Irelands fight for independence with Ukrainians fight against Russia. Which is a bit different from the headline.
A German criticising anyone for occupation of another country in post 1914 would obviously be a massive hypocrite.
does not surprise, hence brexit
Anyone else cannot access whole article? Is it meant for Northern Ireland? Thx for explaination.
Britain was actually somewhat successful…
Ursula: what is up my ass today? You know what? What direction is the wind blowing? Hey Britain! Fuck you!
Catalunya leaves the chat
Clowns …
Brits never gave back willingly anything they stole. And why would they? The mystery for me is that no matter how much they stole country ended up poorer than before. Maybe there should be a national conversation where all that money went?
Wrong comparison. Russians invasion and occupation is completely illegal whereas Ireland being part of the United Kingdom until 1918 was completely legal and legitimate from a perspective of international law.
Ah – the telegraph- the Tory mouthpiece
Putting the finger pointing aside, it’s a really undiplomatic thing to say about an ally in the current conflict.
Especially when the UK was warning it was going to happen and the EU was In denial .
Isn’t this the same person that totally cocked up the EU coronavirus vaccine then picked a fight with the UK as a distraction?
Same as the dutch in Indonesia…your point?
Yikes, can Germany please take her back soon.
That would make Ulster the equivalent to the Donbass
Ohh dear..
For as much as I do not like her; she is right.
Daily non-sense comment from Ursula von der Leyen
Absolutely. Big neighbour bullies smaller one, and for some bizarre reason, refuses to believe that smaller neighbour really does NOT consider itself to be just a part of bigger neighbour’s country
How can you compare that to Ukraine’s invasion? Im not aware of any towns being vaporized in weeks in Ireland.
I’m not surprised; for me it’s been a helpful comparison regarding language and identity. Half of my family is Russian-speaking Ukrainian who feel strongly Ukrainian, not Russian, despite the language. I’ve found it’s easier for the Anglosphere to understand the situation if you talk about English-speaking Irish citizens still feeling deeply Irish while working to revive their ancestral language.
Uschi vs. Rishi
She is absolutely right.
UK invaded Ireland and never gave back NI.
The potatoe famine.
The “terrorists” defenfind Donbass are similar to the terrorists dendrnding Ireland Union: IRA.
A couple of months ago a british guy was on the UkranianConflict telling me how bad i was for having an issue with Zelensky inviting Italian far right PM, and how Ukraine should get more weapons.
The discussion ended when i brought NI to the table.
