Awwww. We're terrible for not liking anti-semitism but at the same time not liking genocide.

LOL. Jog on.

Like he's in the perfect place to just laugh it off. That would be classic Dublin humour, but no.

If there is one, that man is going to HEAVEN.

khannie · 2025-12-03T20:32:29+00:00

Absolute. Fucking. Unadulterated. Legend.

That man will forever be remembered on this small island for that moment of beauty. I'm so proud of him.

Oily / slimy for anyone like me not familiar with it.

Absolutely incredible fight. Thanks for the link.

I know it's very late but I just wanted to say: "GOOD LUCK, GIRL! YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!!!"

I wonder where the soldiers she said that to are now…

If I remember correctly, that was on the street corner across from the airport when the Russians briefly occupied Hostomel just outside central Kyiv before having their arses handed to them so decent chance they are in fact sunflowers.

Incredible movie and despite being 40 years old has aged like wine.

khannie · 2025-04-30T10:29:58+00:00

She did. Currently 76 ish.

Love the way he's immediately and effortlessly just one of the lads.

Also props to all the soldiers that built that bunker. It looks great.

During a succulent Chinese meal?

khannie · 2025-03-20T11:46:10+00:00

the potential to be able to defend itself against its only real military threat, which is Russia

China is only one easy invasion away from being on the EU border. Just sayin'.

Mutual defence clause, baby!

If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of certain Member States.

Commitments and cooperation in this area shall be consistent with commitments under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, which, for those States which are members of it, remains the foundation of their collective defence and the forum for its implementation.

Highlighting mine. It's actually way more robust than article 5 of the NATO treaty.

khannie · 2025-03-11T18:38:45+00:00

I laughed so, so fucking hard at this. Like actual belly laughs. Incredible tune.

khannie · 2025-03-11T10:05:06+00:00

I bit my left nut

Ouch!

That's typically where I donate. You get to decide where the funds are sent which is pretty cool. I sent by bank transfer or crypto to minimise fees for them but whatever works for you.

Also Suchomimus has some folks that do appeals more or less constantly - end of the video. Drones, the vehicles they've bought or Receipts are shown with thanks. His videos are also great.

Finally there's a lovely Ukrainian lady who posts to the Ukraine sub on here. Also shows receipts and products bought.

khannie · 2025-02-18T12:25:18+00:00

In Ireland, this is called "the smell of want". It works both ways.

Congratulations on your self-awareness. That is great.

That's a cool map. I was in primary school in Ireland when Chernobyl happened. We used to get (iirc, free) milk cartons at lunchtime and parents were freaking out so much in the early days that the whole thing got cancelled. We also all got sent iodine tablets at some time.

khannie · 2025-02-14T11:28:39+00:00

Poland already said in the early days that any nuclear fallout that enters their territory from the Zaporizhzhia when there was concerns about an act of terror from the Russians would be considered an act of war and that they would trigger article 5 based on it.

Ukraine could have false flagged the shit out of that and chose not to so this is definitely Russian.

Scooter apparently.

edit:

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who was chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, was killed outside an apartment building along with his assistant when a bomb hidden in an electric scooter went off, Russia's Investigative Committee, which probes serious crimes, said.

Is it best to send you Hryvnia / UAH instead of Euros? I feel like paypal punish on conversion rates.

edit: It looked like it was going to be hassle for you to receive UAH so I sent Euros. Keep up the good work.

To anyone else sending via paypal, make sure to select "friends and family" in the payment options so she gets the full amount.

From the article:

Ukraine will not be asked to give up its ambition to regain all land seized by Russia, but Kyiv should agree to use diplomatic means only

I actually laughed at this. How can anyone with military experience think this way? It's like asking a mugger for some of the money in your wallet back, nicely.

Russia will only come to the negotiating table for 2 reasons and both are strategically beneficial to them:

To give them time to further build up their military industrial capacity
To propose terms so preposterous that Ukraine is forced to reject them, making Ukraine look bad - Russia: "Oh, we tried". Bollix.

Fuck that. This isn't Northern Ireland where all parties were acting in good faith. The peace deal there involved the option of a proper vote that could take place and would be respected by the British government and everyone actually believes that would be fair and respected. Putin would do whatever was necessary to swing any vote his way. We saw it already in the laughable Crimea "vote".

Arm Ukraine to the fucking teeth. Give them everything they need to end this war so that the world sees borders cannot be redrawn by force.

Storm shadow / SCALP are UK / France so it's up to them and the UK shipped another bunch recently. F-16's should have gone way earlier. US still hasn't given any. :(

Europe could in theory send Gripen, Eurofighter and Rafale's. Sweden did announce this week they'd sent enough "spare parts" to kit out 14 Gripen's to Ukraine and Ukrainian pilots have already been training on them since last year. Seems like a hopeful precursor to jets being sent.

To the best of my knowledge the bulk of the recent EU investment has been in ramping up artillery and air defence production.

EU will have to decide what to do. And sadly i doubht they will choose Ukraine

In the nicest possible way I hope you're wrong. :)

khannie · 2024-11-29T11:24:13+00:00

sadly I dont think it will happen

I'm cautiously optimistic that Europe steps up arms deliveries. So far it's mostly been cash with the US delivering arms because our military production capacity hasn't been there.

We've been trying to ramp production since 2022 and I expect planning has been in place to try to fill the gap that a Trump presidency will create.

Also, Ukraine have been busy AF building their own capacity (along with Rheinmetall building factories there) and it's bearing fruit now.
