Sorry meant to c/p this in

"Zelensky takes a swipe at Ireland for 'ALMOST standing with Ukraine' while praising nations who have backed Kyiv - but says Europe was 'too slow' in imposing sanctions that could have stopped Putin"

[choux]

You will upset the Irish ABers with that...

[Stableford]

Zelensky is right- the response from the Western world has been pitiful.

[ToraToraTora]

what are you on about stableford? Most of the world has done a hell of a lot. This is about Ireland dragging their feet.

[douglas9401]

To be fair it can be difficult getting about in all that peat though.

[Zacs-Master]

The response from the Western World has been all that is, sensibly, should be. He'll quickly learn that criticising us will not do him any favours.

[choux]

On the other hand, Zacs, it may just prick a few more consciences if that is necessary despite all the press coverage. I heard on the radio today that the number of Ukrainians leaving their country is stepping up now.

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe, but criticising those who are helping in the only practical way they can is not a great method of garnering support.

[youngmafbog]

I did think that ZM. But he is probably trying to keep it in the news.

[ichkeria]

This has been Zelensky's tactic all along: pushing and cajoling - and it works.

[EdmundD]

Why should he?

[youngmafbog]

I'm not saying he should but ZM has made a good point about why maybe he should.

[fender62]

irelands probably broke and in debt to the eu, united ireland as a side note ermm don't think they have costed it, but would probably want the hated uk to pay...

[ichkeria]

He shouldn’t hold back.
Anyway it’s hardly a devastating assault.
It’s a bit unfair on Ireland (and Portugal) but I doubt it’s going to make too many waves.
He’s been doing this from day one
You either sulk or respond.

[douglas9401]

Sulking would be akin to looking down on the Paralympics, very bad form.
Just keep notes for future discussions after resolution.
