Telling the truth.
Not an attack.
He's in a place where he doesn't give a damn what they think of him.

They will see it as an attack .....what will they do? They can't really say Higgins is Ireland's right wing

Looking at the assholes mentioned in the article.
Micky D is even more correct in his actions.

Tánaiste strongly defends neutrality debates following criticism by President

Michael D Higgins, long term Irish Labour Party, putting the Shinners to shame.

No one could have imagined this in the 00s no mind the 1980s.

Actually someone on P.ie was saying that Higgins is now in the same camp as Orban and cut from the same political cloth so to speak.

Wow.
Need to check the logic tree progression to have reached that conclusion.

"Well, almost" (Ireland's policy of neutrality)

Very interesting to be sure. I don't believe however that the forces at work as described in the below link had gone away and I'm reminded of Redmond's decision to support the British war effort only to have nothing left to bargain with when the soldiers were dead and the war was over. In the...

That's us apparently, although I am still a strong believer in those boring old cliches of workers rights and true equality for all.

Roc say no more.
They can all head off to the Esst Ukraine and do their bit.

roc_ has a plumb roosting on Ailesbury Road which has really fantastic houses in the large majority, he is not some retired gutter punk screeching out through his fingers on a public library computer his abjection and rage (though he most certainly has rage- and I would argue abjection to). The thing is though that he post was thanked by various "normies".

Also he and OwedToJoy have quite a bit in common politically- both are full of Cold War Anti-Communism of the most paranoid variety which bleeds into extreme Russophobia (actually a lot of paranoid Cold War Anti-Communism was not Russophobic as such because it saw the average Russian as a victim of a conspiracy alien to and incredibly hostile towards "real" Russianness), and actually anti-Socialism more generally BUT both were just over the moon enthusiasts for "Black Lives Matter" as well as being mad for all things LGBTQXYZ.

The enthusiasm these to fanatical worshippers of US Imperialism had for "Black Lives Matter" with all it's mass violence and mayhem is something I still have not been able to figure out.

Very contradictory types.
Begs the question.
Who's funding their talking points?
If you're looking for late stage socialist collapse look at democratic controlled states and cities in the US.
Never heard them getting angry about that.

I don't think they are necessarily at all.

Russia is anything but socialist or communist anymore.
So they are Russia phobic noise machines then.
Like so many on the churnal.
No thinking about the situation and the culmination of event's leading to the invasion.
Russia bad and Putin evil monster.
Nothing else to think.

Oh on that you are right there- Putin is in no a Socialist let alone a Communist. Russians were crap at propaganda when they were interested in doing it during Soviet times and they have not improved much at all since. The whole Putin as this sinister master mind behind everything they don't like in Western societies and politics is crazy, bordering on the actual clinical at times.

Yep!
A totally demented hatred of people that should in fact be very good neighbours.
And no rational reasons since 1990 in reality.

roc aways struck me as being privileged with an arrogance and disdain of those less fortunate that smacked of never having had to trouble himself to earn it. This detestation of the little people expressed itself in applauding their subjugation by a bullying state . No matter what the cause, he just loved to see the working class get a good kicking, but wasn't big enough to do it himself.
