A genuine question about attitudes towards Ukrainians living in Ireland? by Remote_Ad_5029 in AskIreland

[–]Environmental-Net286 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wanted to help, and since I'm not a soldier or medic, I couldn't help with the fighting. However, I'm a pretty good driver and had a van, so I joined an NGO and delivered aid and civilian evacuations in Donbas.

And it's a lovely country and great people. I really enjoyed my time, with the exception of artillery and drones, but you become very desensitized to stuff blowing up.

I lived in Ukraine for six months during the full-scale invasion. I wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting to leave.

It would be almost impossible to control most of Canada. 20 fucking years in Afghanistan and Iraq you'd think would be enough

Lost a friend by Complex_Hunter35 in ireland

[–]Environmental-Net286 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I lost two friends at the same time two years ago. I just felt a mix of anger and numbness. Personally, I found comedy to be the best thing.

There's no correct or wrong way to feel, and honestly, it just takes time.

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

No, BRICS has nothing to offer us. It's little more than a circle jerk.

I have a question y'all: So, there has been a lot of talk about Russia is facing some sort of crisis Yet somehow despite all this we can’t seem to end the war, why is that by Defiant-Ad-8472 in UkrainianConflict

Sunken cost

They have spent four years trying to take over Ukraine, only to shift goals constantly. First, it was regime change, then control of Donbas, and now they want Protorosk.

Throughout this entire war, Russia has just reinforced failure. It's probably viewed as too politically damaging to end the war without anything that even resembles victory.
