in the meantime

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, former Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, recently published an article warning that Ukraine is now locked in a costly positional war that risks sliding into pure attrition - a contest Russia is better placed to endure. He argues that what Ukraine urgently needs is breathing room, and that can only come through air power: without effective control of the skies, large-scale maneuver is impossible, and defeat by exhaustion becomes likely. To survive and regain initiative, Ukraine must adapt faster than Russia, embrace new tactics, and integrate innovations such as drones, electronic warfare, and AI-driven systems. Zaluzhnyi’s message is clear: without rapid adaptation and a decisive boost in air power, Ukraine faces a war it cannot win on current terms.

this is either a driver or a mirror of the current narrative which is suggesting different degrees of Nato Air power, in Ukraine.

ok here we go:

Ironfister, you call others "stupid," but your argument about Ireland is built on a fundamental error: Ireland is not in NATO, so we cannot be "free riders" on that bandwagon. Our security policy is one of military neutrality—a sovereign choice about how we contribute to global security, primarily through the UN and EU. A concept you simply don't understand.


UN is useless, as bad people/leaders can and do veto anything they dont like. Its just a discussion club.
EU is a trade organization, not a military.
So these things have anything in common with military security.
So in reality your security policy is: "we are surrounded by friendly NATO countries so we dont build our own military. If things get bad, we will get NATO to help us because we are trade partners and there is a large irish population in USA.



Let's talk about the EU. The EU is built on wealthier nations helping others. Ireland benefited from this, and now we are a net contributor. Do you understand what I said ? Ireland is helping to fund the development of less developed countries, like Poland, which is the single largest beneficiary of EU funds - 82 Billion!! For you to call us "selfish" while your country is being dragged up to Ireland's level is not just staggering, its ignorant.

EU transfers is pocket money. Sure its nice to get some, but its not very big amounts.
Also if you say Poland receives money, then I tell you that Ireland is “undercutting” EU countries by luring multinational companies with artificially low taxes.
This shifs huge amounts of declared profits into Ireland that are not directly connected to real economic activity there.
So there is 1 thing that Ireland does right: sharing its money with EU, but doing 2 things wrong: military spending and luring EU tax.


You rant about Poland's superiority, but your countrymen vote with their feet. Millions of Poles left Poland for a better life in countries like Germany and Ireland. They aren't rushing to stay and build your nationalist white utopia; they're coming here to become our doctors, builders, and neighbours. Over 112,000 of them live and work here in Ireland peacefully - our largest minority. Ireland has welcomed people from all around the world. Sure from China, India and Nigeria and but also from smaller countries like Poland. Your entire argument hinges on a double standard: it's acceptable for Poles to migrate for a better life, but a threat when others from less developed countries seek a home in Poland.

You talk about "contributions" to European security as if it's an unquestionable good. But let's be clear about what Poland's leadership is contributing: warmongering. When your Prime Minister declares, "This war is our war," and your government actively pushes for escalation, that isn't a contribution I welcome with open arms. Hosting more NATO bases and calling for a fiercer fight might make you feel like a leader, but from over here, it looks like you're volunteering the rest of us for a conflict we're not seeking. So forgive me if I don't applaud a "contribution" that seems hell-bent on starting WW3. Ireland's contribution is trying to keep the peace. Yours seems to be ending it.

Your entire worldview is a hypocritical Allies can do anything, opponents are condemned for breathing. Ukraine, Poland, Israel - Sovereignty is sacred. A 'White crusade' as you would call it. For Ireland and Palestinians - Sovereignty is met with threats of tariffs. not pulling our weight or less developed people because of their skin color. Your own government's refusal to recognize Palestinian statehood, while you demand Ireland sacrifice its neutrality, is the ultimate proof of your selective principles. I have not even started on your simplistic view of US Backed Proxy war against Russia. I'll save that for another day.


I'm not a "white crusade" guy myself, my cousin married a Pakistan guy and we are all cool with that and with him. Their children obviously are brown, nobody cares, nobody says a single word.
I just know some people who grow up in 100% white area and are therefore catious about other color people. They dont know any other skin color person. It doesnt make them nazi.
Poland is a very safe, european country, so EU didnt risk too much opening borders. But when you open the border worldwide, you risk much more. As not all countries are as much developed as Europe. And it can end two ways: these people can adopt eu culture, or they will downgrade European countries to a level of their home countries.

About immigration from Poland, obviously many people left Poland , because Poland isnt very sexy. The weather isn't good. Taxation is high because we need to pay a large military. Wages are lower than in west. These are 3 reasons why people leave. Of course its a problem for Poland, because taxpayers leave and psy their taxes elsewhere. Still many people stayed.

We are in a Cold war. We had a Cold war for 45 years in the 20th century, and its back
My idea of security is make sure the russian bear cannot attack us.
Yours idea is: lets make Russian bear happy, he will like us.
Once again you are being naive. You are being naive accepting immigration from third world countries, and you are being naive by thinking you can get friendly with Russians.
They are not the people like you, they are different people.

if 82 billion is pocket change you can hand it all back. in the meantime keep up the warmongering, what could possibly go wrong. A real strategist wins without fighting. You're so eager for a war you've already lost the peace. All this is doing is making Poland a target, and the US must be laughing right now - not a single US soldier in harms way. The Polish position does not look safe.

As if you'd ever sign a contract to fight :lol: You haven't done so after nearly 4 years and would rather let your countrymen bleed for you, so you must be a coward.


i am forwarding this directly to the UK thought police, expect a midnight visit from your local Gestapo friend.

We are spending 40billion yearly on military, while we get 8billion net from UE.
Give us 40 billion we spend to protect eastern EU border and we give you back your 8billion, ok?
"A real stragetist wins without fighting" - to win without fighting you need to have strong cards. Stronger than your enemy. You do not win by begging for mercy.
We are already a target to Putin, regardless of what we do. Russia used to occupy us, used to kill Poles at their will. Putin remembers it, his fellow KGB mates remember that too. Russian have a saying:
«Где русский солдат ступил ногой, там и граница России» – “Where the Russian soldier has set foot, there is the border of Russia.”
But he isn't stupid, he wont attack if he knows he will lose.
So the way to have peace is to have strong cards, have your army well armed. Have friends in USA and NATO.
Obviously the more army/equipment Putin loses in Ukraine, the less he will have left to attack other countries.

So "warmongering Biden" is out, there is now Trump who is an expert of negotiations and a well known peace advocate.
Trump said many good things about Putin, invited him to visit him in USA where he put a red carpet for the russian President.
Trump promised peace in his election campaign, and would very much like to deliver it.
Still, despite all of it, Putin doesnt seem interested in any peace deal.
Does that ring a bell in your brain?
