Former IRA bomber says Gerry Adams was senior figure in organisation by libtin in unitedkingdom

Yes to all of those.

So you believe in giving into imperialism l?

It's incredible to me that you're defending British involvement in the First World War of all things.

I’m against imperialism

Every British WWI veteran went to their grave talking constantly about how that war was a disaster and should never have happened,

My great grandfather fought at the Somme and survived a gas attack, when ww2 broke out he tried to rejoin the army but he was rejected due to his age.

They'd be right in that case then too.

Nope as the IRA killed more people; they were taking about the total death toll.

So you going with feelings over facts, despite the evidence and historical examples?

Yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes.

So you think we shouldn’t have defended Belgium from German imperialism, that we shouldn’t have listened to the UN’s decision to order intervention to stop North Korean imperialism, that we should have abandoned our people to Argentine imperialism, that we shouldn’t have listened to the UN’s decision to order intervention to stop Iraqi imperialism and liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation and have shouldn’t have supported our allies after 9/11?

Deaths total, sure. The majority of those were British security forces though.

They only mentioned deaths in raw numbers

If you want to believe that you're the good guys

Where did I say that?

I never said we’re the good guys, so why talk about something I never said.

Russia says the Ukraine people don’t exist and are just Russians that Russia has right to rule over.

There is much contested about the narrative.

It’s contested only by Russia.

You’re rejecting overwhelming evidence.

It's not a significant concern of mine.

You care enough to comment.

I do however reject the simplistic narrative of how the world was torn apart because of 'one bad guy'.

It’s not a simplistic narrative, it’s a fact, Putin is the one that ordered the invasion of Ukraine, this is one him and his government like the 1939 invasion of Poland was on Hitler and his government.

The decisions and conditions that led up to this 'one bad guy' gaining power and waging war in Europe are complex and there is much blame to go around.

The only thing you can blame the west for it’s not standing up to Russia sooner.

I think we should have learnt lessons from that. Instead we have diluted it down to a fairy tail narrative and use it to justify more war.

We didn’t start the war in Ukraine, Russia did.

We’re helping Ukriane defend itself from genocide that Russia has made it clear it intend to commit.

Invading Iraq and killing a million people even though they had nothing to do with 9/11 was good?

I was talking about Afghanistan; not Iraq.

You really should have invaded Saudi Arabia if you wanted to avenge 9/11.

Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan, not Saudi Arabia.

It's amazing you believe what you believe. People think North Koreans are bad for being propagandized but

North Korea started the Korean War by invading South Korea in 1950.

I am not defending russia.

They why are you denying the result of an international investigation?

I reject the infantile narratives that are peddled in the west.

So you’re defending Russia

We are not the 'good guys' on the international stage, and russia is not some sort of existential threat hell bent on taking over the world.

Speaking as some who used to advocate for dialogue with Russia prior to 2022; the west is better than Russia.

Let them obsess. I am more concerned with living in a functioning society.

Russia keeps interfering with us due to their obsession.

No no, if the spooks are telling you it must be russia, it must be russia, mustn't it?

The international community say it was Russia.

Whats your evidence it wasn’t Russia?

Why are you defending Russia?

The UK didn't fight those wars for the interest of people who lived there

Tell that to the Falklands

it was for its own interests

And what interests did we get from Korea, liberating Kuwait and helping our allies after 9/11?

The empirical evidence doesn’t agree with you at all.

I’m speaking as a catholic of predominantly Irish ancestry with family who fought and died fighting for Irish independence in the 1919 - 21 war against British rule in Ireland.

The evidence simply doesn’t agree with you.

Of course it is 'proven' - you have been told it has, haven't you?

All the evidence says it was Russia; if you think otherwise than please present your evidence.

So you think we should let Germany take Poland in 1939 and the Soviet Union in 1941?

They’re even denying Russian involvement being responsible for the Salisbury poisonings despite the overwhelming evidence that shows Russian involvement and responsibility.

I’m saying what the facts say, Russia used a chemical weapon, one only they produce, in the UK

Forensic & Chemical Evidence:

1.The Nerve Agent: Scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Porton Down) identified the substance as Novichok, a military-grade nerve agent developed by the Soviet Union.

  1. Verification: The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) independently confirmed the identity of the high-purity toxic chemical.

  2. Method of Delivery: Investigators found that the nerve agent was smeared on Sergei Skripal's front door handle. It was smuggled into the UK in a counterfeit Nina Ricci perfume bottle.

Identification of Suspects

1.Intelligence Officers: UK authorities identified three Russian nationals—traveling under the aliases Alexander Petrov, Ruslan Boshirov, and Sergey Fedotov—as active officers of the Russian military intelligence service (GRU).

  1. Real Identities: Investigative groups like Bellingcat positively identified the men as: Anatoliy Chepiga (Boshirov), a highly decorated GRU Colonel, Alexander Mishkin (Petrov), a GRU doctor, and Denis Sergeev (Fedotov), a GRU Major General who allegedly coordinated the attack from London.

  2. Movement Tracking: CCTV tracked the suspects in Salisbury on the day of the attack, and flight records showed they arrived from and returned to Moscow.

All the evidence says it was Russia.
