(38,958 posts)Getting away from the Cable Infotainment is a very good thing. There are far superior sources for information and the news of the day.
Leave them off, you will be better informed.

(37,955 posts)The Russian forces have been massing on the border of Ukraine, leading to warnings of severe economic sanctions by the US and EU in response to any incursion.
There is no evidence of a Russian invasion but rather a limit to how much they will be pushed around by Nato interference on its borders, Ms Daly added...
She and Mick Wallace also voted against the EU resolution condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
I understand opposing all forms of war. I am also against war. War is bad for everyone except the profiteers. I didn't want the US to go into Afghanistan after 9/11 because I knew Bush & Co would trash the place. I'm glad we've finally pulled out of Afghanistan and we absolutely must do everything we can to protect the civilians there, short of military occupation.
But, no. I won't be thanking Clare Daly.

(29 posts)It's Clare Daly, not Clara Daly.
She's widely considered a useful idiot, btw. She is not highly regarded in Ireland. There's a reason why she keeps changing parties. No-one is ideologically pure enough for Saint Clare apart from Mick Wallace, a property developer and tax evader. As you Americans say, go figure!

(10,072 posts)It doesn't make Shorty Putin's war and destruction of Ukraine any better because Afghanistan is suffering.
Didn't Russia contribute to the problems in Afghanistan when they attacked the country about 30 years ago?

(267,823 posts)The global bullies do what the hell they want in our countries and then scream about how virtuous their cause is - meanwhile we're left the mess.
And the racism continues from both camps
