Money talks!!!!

If Israel pushes E1 then ban all El Al flights , investigate every charity subsidising Israel, and cut all intelligence and military contacts. If they up the ante then stop all tourism.

Ex SF MP Francis Molloy was on the evening news on Radio Ulster last night ahead of their presidential election announcement today. He said he didn't know the party's stance but suggested Heather Humphreys was the logical candidate if Republicans wanted to move towards a United Ireland for all.

100% agree! Disgraceful from Dolan.

Sad news. Legend!!!

And unlike the US military claims, these were not kinetic actions. Kinetic combat is when fire goes both ways, and the US military doesn't want to be fired upon, because that's scary. US military is designed for this remote action faux-COIN shit, not for fighting actual wars against peer foes.

Said it before, Vance is not a Catholic. He's an Evangelical, and they as a collective are not Christians.

Btw, amazing how people turbospreading hate and desinfo on a 24/7 level, get into an even higher gear and apoplexy if you stress the ambivalence and presence of more possible scenario’s than one 1/2
