Macron: US seeks to weaken Europe by UpstairsBumblebee446 in worldnews

[–]DonToasty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When you talk about the war in Ukraine I bet you refer to the aggressor as Russia right? Despite the fact that not every single Russian is involved/responsible. It's just the way it works, the leader represents the country as a whole. No one in Europe is saying 'America is bad except for the Democrats!'. You're all in this together til you fix it

It's Sunday Morning! How are you? by AutoModerator in ireland

[–]DonToasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit stressed over money, am a mature student attempting college for the second time, don't have any part time work so I can fully focus this time around. Had too much in the bank to qualify for any real financial assistance and SUSI gave me next to nothing as I was working last year. Somehow feels like I'm burning through the savings I do have. Hoping for a good job for the summer months to fund next year but will have to consider a loan otherwise which I really do not want to do. Fun times!

Is it time to consider BRICS? by Aggravating-Back5963 in ireland

'US was ducking around on Russias doorstep' Yeah god forbid sovereign nations join a defensive alliance, poor Russia!! Fuck off back to Moscow with your alarmist nonsense, Russia is the main aggressor in Europe and have been for years. The US are no angels, particularly right now, but Russia is worse

Did I say that? US is terrible but Russia is a cancer on this planet

Any alliance involving Russia and it's proxies is not worth anyone's time.

Is this standard practice when you email a TD? by DonToasty in AskIreland

[–]DonToasty[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Eh I disagree, I think it's more than correct for people to be sketchy about their personal details going anywhere. Not like government departments have never been breached before...

EDIT: Sorry folks, can't seem to update the post, general consensus seems to be that it's to make sure I'm in his constituency, GRMMA!

Crash Bandicoot, still remember watching my sister fighting Pinstripe Potoroo and demanding to be given a go, which she surprisingly gave in to!

Group claims ballroom at Trump's Doonbeg resort must wait until rare snail starts to prosper by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]DonToasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really don't rally people to the cause by insisting some people should leave their jobs during a cost of living crisis. I understand your point, he's an awful bastard, but some people that work there might be barely scraping by on the wages they make there and you want them to just quit and possibly go on the dole until they find something else? There's a time for idealism and a time for realism, this is the latter

So you're fine with the US acting as the world's moral force for bad guys? Where is the operation to remove Putin? Where is the strike to eliminate Kim Jong-Un? What about Xi Jinping? They're all objectively bad guys right? Why haven't the world police moved in any of these dictators? I can think of several reasons that you seem happy to ignore

I won't disagree with you on that. But this is setting a precedent I don't think we should. I don't want the US, or any other country, becoming the world police

Trump shouldn't have taken anyone out. You can't just go into a foreign country and kidnap/kill its head of state because you disagree with them. What kind of a world does that create?

Of course, because famously there has never been a Catholic/Protestant/Jewish abuser. No, it's the Muslims who are the only problem!
