Funchion said Sinn Féin continues to support the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine but the proposed €90 billion EU loan was “primarily for military expenditure”. This, she said, “undermines Ireland’s neutrality”.
Cowen described Sinn Féin’s neutrality argument as “flawed and cynical”, saying: “Supporting Ukraine is about upholding the right of a sovereign country to protect its civilians ... while drawing a clear moral line between defence and aggression. Neutrality was never meant to mean moral indifference.”
Doherty hit back, saying: “Ireland’s neutrality is not about moral indifference, nor does it prevent us from standing firmly against aggression or supporting victims of war. What it does mean is that Ireland does not participate in military alliances or in the financing of war.”
Yeah, Sinn Féin is totally wrong here. How are you "standing firmly" against aggression by standing by and doing nothing?
It's like seeing a bully beating on a weak victim and instead of handing the victim a bat to defend themselves you just wait until the victim is beaten then treat their wounds.
Nah, I would love if the US was actually a thriving, just, compassionate, and educated nation that used their power for good in the world. That would be much better than a US collapse.
Fascinating. Reminds me of Kaneko Fumiko, another anarchist woman who was also convicted of trying to assassinate members of the imperial family around the same time.
Can anyone clarify this: so the army used to shoot live pigs and goats while awake and now they're stopping this practice? Or were the animals asleep when they were shot?
And now they're stopping this but will continue to stab, burn, and beat the shit out of sleeping pigs and goats?
As far as I know, that's not how epidurals work. Nothing goes to your brain. It just numbs the nerves in your spine and stops the pain signals from reaching your brain.
It's not a parking meter. It's one of those electronic paying stations (pay box). You can zoom in. It even says so.
