Lee Kuan Yew told Singaporeans that the Israelis brought in to train the army were Mexicans as to not upset the Malay Muslims

"If it were true that Ukraine belongs to Russia in the 2020s because a Russian dictator knows a legend about a Viking in the 860s, then the tens of millions of people who actually live there would have no voice in their own identity: no choice but to accept the executions, the

“We hold these truths to be self evident…” followed by a list of some of the most radical claims ever made, some of which seem dubious even to this day was an incredible move

By “Turkey” this person means a Greek part of the Roman Empire many centuries before Turks reached it. A reductio ad absurdum of equating land with people.

It really is heartbreaking what Russia are doing to the Ukrainian children. Just heartbreaking.

Reminder that the Rape of Belgium is taught mostly as a propaganda event to justify British jingoism instead of an abhorrent series of war crimes which actually happened and shocked Europe. Would he talk about Nanking in this way?

Cathedral at Ani currently being vandalised (sorry -‘restored’). It will be re-opened as a mosque…

I wonder why Armenia has mixed feelings about Russia, Mr. "Irish Journalist Based in Moscow."

A friend of mine ignored the ‘no entry’ signs and the protestations of the staff and took these photos from inside the Cathedral at Ani today. Maybe amongst the last photos to be taken before ‘restoration’ complete.

Guess we now have a response from the Polish foreign minister.

Savages.

Catherine Connoly launched Clare Daly's re-election campaign, thereby endorsing all Daly's tyranny supporting actions of the previous 4 years, & hoping she wd be in a position to continue the same. Pointing out the very close alignment between them is good journalism.

Kind of hilarious that this was finally done not because of Gaza but because Bibi talked about the Armenian Genocide on a podcast

My fucking god, he is a sick, twisted and depraved lowlife. These attacks killed more than 20 civilians, including four children, and targeted EU and GB legations.

She's blocked comments, obviously, because she just made her party nominate a pro-Russian looper for President

It’s insane how common it is in the Russian media space to brag about their war crimes. They know there are zero repercussions. Well, perhaps not immediately.

We cannot “trust but verify” with Putin. We must deter and fortify.

Yeah, let’s not talk about it. That’ll definitely make the issue go away.

‘Meeting Assad supporter was a mistake, says Connolly’ Over 7 years later and then had to be practically dragged out of her. Clearly indicative of someone utterly unsuited to be president of Ireland. rte.ie/news/president…
