I value democracy & hate ruZZian fascism with a passion. At this stage I’m just here to counter 🇷🇺 disinformation. Paid by the CIA in creamy scoops 😜

Yup, proper! I hate the fascist scum! I witnessed guys with the exact same life as me (Ukrainian software devs), not believe Putler would invade, weeks later they had willingly joined the army. Could be dead or in a trench now. That is what Russia does to normal guys

This is utterly ignorant. I can only apologise to Ukrainians for these fucking idiots who speak with such faux authority. This guy speaks for nothing or noone, except his own ignorance & this bizarre love for Russian imperialism that exists among Irish Republican socialists.

When war began in Europe, instead of taking immediate action on righting the wrongs of decades of under-investment in Irish defence, the then Minister for Defence chose to focus his energy on securing funding to send abroad. At least Simon understands that we are frustrated.
I understand the frustration within our DF, of course I do. But now is also a time to reach out internationally for partnership on core defence interests, while planning for a significant increase in our own capacity over time.

The obsessive hatred towards rugby among a cohort of the Irish left is actually amusing. Kind of hard to claim there is no interest in the sport, when Munster & Leinster sold out Croker 12 months ago & 6N matches are often among the Top 3 or 4 most watched TV programmes in Ire.

Simon is shocked that with war in Europe for almost four years, that 🇮🇪 might need some air defence when its turn came round to hold the EU presidency. How could anyone have guessed? We’ll defo have it next time round, eh? @simoncoveney
Cathal, not the right message. We know scale of investment needed to deliver defence capacity. That’s accepted in Govt, but will take years to deliver. For now we should welcome an openness in Govt to partner with friends in Europe. Our security and EU security depends on it.

“Some argue that government’s ­limited understanding of far-right evolution may also contribute to its growth. The far-right emerged from the anti-water charge protests & Covid lockdowns but it now spans anti-migrant, misogynist, exclusionary nationalist and conspiratorial views”

This article, given its author and where it was published, is far more important for Ireland than the election of mayor in an American city. Yet there's plenty in Irish media this weekend on Mamdani and nothing on O'Brien's views, which reflect the growing hostility towards Ireland in the US. Ireland seems to have its head in the sand on defence, the country's position in the EU because of its defence positions, as well as on the crisis in Ireland-US relations.
Another Ireland-hostile opinion piece in the The Wall Street Journal, the paper of record of corporate America. Free-riding needs to end. Leadership in Dublin is needed urgently.

Maybe the FAI should focus on learning how to play football first before engaging in global geopolitical virtue signalling

If Ireland 🇮🇪 was a mature country, part of an alliance, & proactive security partner in Europe 🇪🇺, this wouldn't even be news. Instead, it is a national embarrassment that Ireland is now begging for help for its own defence. If we had a Minister for Defence, they would resign.
Ireland considers asking EU nations for security help during presidency, including sending a warship to Dublin for air defence. A consequence of decades of underinvestment in our @defenceforces people and capabilities. @IRLDeptDefence @IRLDeptPER irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/…

Right now in Ukraine, millions are without power. People can’t heat their homes or cook food. This would be inconceivable in any other European country but for some reason, we accept this as normal. It’s not. Sanctions on russia need to quadruple, today

For a country that is neutral and militarily non-aligned, we seem to be asking for a lot of military support from the allies we say that we don't need.
🇮🇪 may borrow navy ship for EU presidency. When years of underinvestment and neglect regarding the @defenceforces come home to roost, once again we are dependent on the kindness of others for protection. @ConorGallaghe_r in todays @IrishTimes. @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD

Horrific images from Volchansk, destroyed by the russians. The city has no streets, houses, shops, pharmacies, trees, birds, or people left – it is dead and will most likely never be rebuilt. The “international organizations” are traditionally silent, as if nothing has happened. UN Secretary-General António Guterres thanked Qatar yesterday for hosting the 2nd World Summit on Social Development. t.me/MirovichMedia/13281

Ireland is the freeloader who won’t pay rent on principle, while eating all the groceries, and acting hard because NATO locks their door. The world is getting sick of their schtick. This is the real tick tock, time’s up.

Couldn’t agree more
If anything bursts the myth of our neutrality, this is it. A neutral nation does not take sides in a conflict, but neither does it seek military assistance from others. We wouldn’t give Ukraine weapons, but we’re happy to accept them from others. Irish policy is 🤮

Ukraine is the largest country in Europe and millions of people are without electricity, heat or gas. In the future, Europeans should look back on this time as the greatest shame that this was allowed to happen. Russia shoots down planes over our skies, poison people on UK soil and launch hybrid disinformation warfare online. Now is the time to realise it is at war with everyone and fight back.

Now that Irish society freely accepts that our nearest friendly neighbour, the UK, contributes to our defence, has anyone paused to think , are they actually capable of doing so, given their commitment to others ? 🤔 bbc.com/news/articles/c3dn2e…

Mortifying. And whats worse is we keep getting away with it. By right we should be told we cant provide security so we can't host the presidency.

If the Irish people are willing to accept cuts to dole, pension, carers allowance, children’s allowance and public sector pay to show solidarity with Palestine then so be it.
It is my understanding Ireland is about to make a motion to the European body governing soccer to ban Israel from playing in European soccer tournaments.   Ireland and others would be punishing the Jewish people 80 years after the Holocaust because they choose to fight back against terrorist groups who wish to kill all the Jews. Hamas started this war. Hamas has put civilians at risk to continue this war. And Hamas is a radical Islamic terrorist group dedicated to the destruction of Israel. They must be defeated militarily and politically.   If these attacks against Israel continue, I will do everything in my power to make those who participate in this effort to marginalize Israel in sports, and elsewhere, pay a heavy price when it comes to access to the American economy. reuters.com/sports/soccer/ir…

Funny, Ireland, a rich country, has had a 1.5% GDP spending advantage relative to other countries; can't run a government efficiently enough to have sufficient housing and infrastructure. Housing/services isn't a spending problem, it's a civil/public services culture problem.
Replying to @RobGilbey
Makes me laugh when the country cant afford to house it’s population but some expect it to spend hundreds of millions on security for others.
