#Alumina
Surely it must be decision time for @MichealMartinTD @Ukrainian civilians are being slaughtered by #Putins drones, alumina used in these bombs manufactured in #Ireland
@UkraineIreland
Alumina goes into everything from toothpaste and lipstick to missiles and drones.
A Russian-owned plant in Ireland regularly sends shiploads of the substance directly to St. Petersburg and other Russian ports, where some ends up in weapons, experts say. apnews.com/article/ireland-r…

This says a lot about who the Irish government is willing to do business with and who it is willing to lie and obfuscate for.
It also answers some questions about their toxic antisemitism given the Russian genesis of so much of the propaganda
Really shameful stuff from the Irish government.
A Russian-owned plant in southern Ireland is Europe’s biggest alumina refinery and regularly sends shiploads of the substance directly to St. Petersburg and other Russian ports.
There's evidence that its being used for weapons deployed against Ukraine.
European leaders are pressing Ireland to make it stop.
Meanwhile, the Irish government refuses to even acknowledge it, with Irish Government Minister Niall Collins saying "there’s absolutely no evidence" the material is ending up in military supply chains. The Irish government has declined to make public the findings of its investigation into the alumina shipments.

Ireland has never had the moral high ground. From remaining neutral in WW2 to the targeting of children during “the Troubles.” I will never be lectured by them. And i am part-Irish - I’ve been to the ancestral homeland - idgaf.

The Irish government is facing calls to stop shipments of Alumina —a white powder that can be forged into weapons vital to Moscow’s war on Ukraine — from a Russian-owned plant in southern Ireland

“Targeting the Nasser Hospital”
Not targeting Hamas leaders committing the war crime of using hospitals as cover, you wouldn’t say?
Shameful reporting. Hamas’s account given primacy, every single time.
Gaza's Health Ministry says an Israeli airstrike targeting the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza has killed six people and wounded at least a dozen more. apnews.com/article/gaza-isra…

I want to highlight Europe’s work on sanctions. Sanctions are necessary. This applies both to individual sanctions against Russian entities working for Putin and his system, and to businesses through which Russia obtains scarce components, equipment, and machine tools to produce weapons – including ballistic missiles, attack drones, and communications systems.
We ask all our partners in Europe and around the world to focus on this. We must restrict Russia’s weapons production, and this is one of the best ways to push Russia toward taking real steps toward peace.
Our Ukrainian long-range sanctions are working. Russian weapons production facilities are within range of our long-range capabilities. And the main thing is to ensure that our partners support these efforts – legally, economically, and politically. I thank everyone in Europe who is working to strengthen sanctions.
I said this during a joint press conference with Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD.

President Zelenskyy:
For several days now, significant disruptions to Starshield operations have been recorded across Ukraine, along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories. Specifically, Starshield has been subject to a systematic speed limit of 161 km/h (100 mph).
The Ukrainian military has already investigated the situation and confirmed that these are not random errors but a systematic speed restriction.
This primarily makes it significantly more difficult to intercept Russian jet-powered drones.
This is helping Russians kill more Ukrainians and allowing more Russian strikes to hit their targets.
We are trying to clarify all the circumstances with the American side.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is one of the clearest examples of good versus evil in modern history.
Russia bombs families in their homes, killing mothers, fathers and babies.
Ukraine strikes the oil refineries that keep Russia’s war machine running.

Ukraine ready to help Ireland with Naval Drones and Security at Sea..
I thank Ireland for its unwavering support for Ukraine, for our defense, and for our people. We have always received Ireland’s full understanding of what is happening in Ukraine and, most importantly, of how unjust Russia’s aggression is – against Ukraine and against normal, peaceful life in Europe.
Today, during my meeting with Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD, I briefed the Taoiseach on the situation in our country, on what is happening on the front line and how difficult it is for us to restore our infrastructure after Russian strikes. I am grateful for Ireland’s readiness to help and for the support packages it provides.
We agreed that Ireland will take an active part in the Shelter Coalition. Thank you for this contribution. Today, we also discussed the details of our Drone Deal with Ireland. The priority is naval drones and security at sea. We are ready to help Ireland with this.

Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for women’s rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism.
Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that “we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.”
If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy aren’t the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regime… who then is an underdog?
I can’t exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. I’m sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame.
And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.
It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide.
It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.
It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom.
How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.
How can anyone defend this?
