Independent socialist Catherine Connolly’s coolness to Brussels and hostility to Donald Trump put her at odds with the Irish government.
She’s slammed NATO, voted against EU treaties, been accused of offering propaganda boosts for dictators from Russia to Syria — and now she’s on track to become Ireland’s next president.
Catherine Connolly, a former mayor of the western city of Galway who’s spent the past nine years as an opposition socialist lawmaker in Ireland’s parliament, has built a commanding polling lead ahead of Friday’s election versus her only challenger, former government minister Heather Humphreys from the center-ground Fine Gael party.
The latest opinion poll, published Wednesday night, put Connolly on 55.7 percent support compared to Humphreys’ 31.6 percent. Results will be announced Saturday, but the surprisingly fleet-footed 68-year-old Connolly acts and talks like she’s already won.
Russia can’t even invade, let alone occupy Ukraine lmao, and Israel is entirely orthogonal if not detrimental to supplying Ukraine with weapons.
Find a new boogeyman to justify a “defense” organization that has never acted in self-defense.

That’s not at all what I said. I feel like you’re responding to something you just made up in your head.

You fake leftists are funny. Thankfully, no one gives a shit about you at all.
Ok, now tell me how “Find a new boogeyman to justify a “defense” organization that has never acted in self-defense.” translates to “BATO made putin do it” in your head.
But how could I forgot having America and its attack dog Israel run your “defensive” organization is a fundamental leftist position.
There is many Ukrainian area occupied by Russia but you are right that during the war
