12 years, not 4. The russian invasion of Ukraine began in 2014 with the invasion of Crimea.

Just because they are at war doesn’t mean the shitposting stops, and shitposting is Russia’s prime export.

But let's not mention Northern Ireland.

What about Northern Ireland?

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Similar setup to Ukraine. Russia took over Ukraine hundreds of years ago. While it was a province of Russia, they moved Russians into the territory just like England moved English into Ireland. The English didn't return Northern Ireland to Ireland. We'll see what happens in the Ukraine.

I'm not seeing relevance to the article about the hypocrisy of Russia saying US should leave Greenland alone as it's currently invading Ukraine. Why would they bring up Northern Ireland, I've not seen any news reports of the British army shelling Dublin recently?

The population of Northern Ireland predominantly wanted to remain part of the UK at the time of partition, surely 500+ years in a region gives the people some right to determine their fate? As they do now, a border poll has been an option for nearly 30 years at this point.

As usual Russia says whatever is best for them at the time.
