1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in. It’s darker than that. Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline. A thread 🧵

It will never cease to be disgraceful that a group that lauded the sectarian terror org that murdered an Irish peacekeeper got such a warm embrace by people who ought to have known better.

Despite drones, artillery is still King of the Battlefield. But because of drones, the lifespan of Ireland's towed 105mm Light Guns/Ruag 120mm mortars in combat is measured in minutes. #shootscoot Helen McEntee TD Source: Defence Industry Europe search.app/2NLxE

We have the same in Ireland on the far left. Mostly ego-driven, with a mix of intellectual deformity.

Why is Russia so determined to conquer Ukraine? It's not about "denazification," "protecting Russian speakers" or NATO. Watch top Russian mouthpieces explain it in their own words: they want to wage wars, because this is the way great empires are created. x.com/JuliaDavisNews…

Proof if needed , that Ireland is NOT the nation of pacifists that some desire. Our military peacekeepers deserve the best modern equipment, and the nations respect. 🇮🇪

7,700 serving member as of 31st oct 2025 a LOA 2 would mean at the current rate to even get to 9,500 pre commission figure Óglaigh na hÉireann would reach this figure by 2031 let alone beyond that . It is all a Joke really no real LOI- level of Integrity by govt

780 serving in our NS⚓️ while allowances at sea personnel can't access this because ships are not going to sea only 40% of ships are operational at sea. There is a quick 3 yr fix to have all ships operational but eh what would anyone outside of DOD know 🤔

And notice again how the Trump regime is coming for Europe, in wave after wave of assaults, not Russia. Never Russia. Time to confront these barbarism brutes with everything Europe has at its disposal.

This museum facilitates Enemies of this State, Z 🇷🇺 Ambassador Filatov and his 'Z' Compatriots..... Russians sanctioned for the abduction of Ukrainian children have appeared via video link at events on this premises. The museum should rethink their clientele.

Meanwhile, in Ireland this week, the usual pro-neutrality activists aren't so buoyant about Ireland's #DefencePoverty.

Ireland’s policy on defence is hypocritical, and to think Ireland will not be attacked because it is neutral “is of course stupid”

Just a reminder: we opted out of a common European defence in the Lisbon Treaty. That means we don’t have to help any other European country that finds itself in trouble, 🚨 but equally, NO EUROPEAN COUNTRY HAS TO HELP US UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES As you sow, you shall reap

€500M for the radar is nearly one third of the defence capital investment for the next 5 years on a single acquisition! Get ready for news of other acquisitions being scaled back. irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/1…

This braindead take has been doing the rounds among the "redpilled". #Russia doesn't need to arrest many people as multiple generations of brutalisation have made a fearful and compliant populace. Also, why don't you compare numbers of political prisoners?

Now tell us the cost in spice bags.

How sickening that this woman, who has spent her career snearing at the Óglaigh na hÉireann and even the very concept of national defence, is now C-in-C of the very same organisation.

Say it isn't so 🙄 #Mercosur reuters.com/world/americas…
