How long will they last?

Ireland obviously doesn’t/can’t export the type of raw materials, needed to build China’s war machine, that Ukraine does.
Although Ireland has obviously learnt nothing about the dangers of exporting food resources especially in this case to a Communist enemy.
Which western trade policy is also feeding and arming.
There is absolutely no difference between Socialism and Communism.Which is why the Russian Communist Party called it USSR not USCR.
How many examples can you name where Socialism has ever allied with Israel.As opposed to Pogroms, The Holocaust and trying to wipe Israel off the map in 1967 and '73.Also not our finest hour in 1946/7.
Starmer being a far left Socialist reactionary in that regard.
With only one logical conclusion regarding his policy on Israel and China and delivering our forces on a plate in view of the obvious intent of the joint Russian and Chinese axis TSENTR exercises and plan.

You have absolutely no idea about politics. As usual, you are way out of your depth in adult conversation.

I’ve got a couple of diggers on another thread. They may come handy here for CF. I’ll just climb back into the cab of the ERF NGC of Beresford’s…

Socialism is socialism until the money runs out then it morphs into communism.
Then the “government” owns everything. Talking to a polish bloke one day and asked him what it was like under communism. He said ok, we pretended to work and they pretended to pay us.

The 6 mil didn’t all die in Auschwitz.
Tell us more about the fate of Violette Szabo and Ann Frank.It wasn’t just Jews who were murdered.
Why would even the Brit post war Socialist regime have not denied the Holocaust to add credibility to its pro Palestine anti Israel narrative used to execute Haganah forces and intern if not batter to death Jewish civilian settlers arriving on Israel’s beaches.
Unlike the welcome given to the Islamic world arriving on ours now.
While by your logic no SS death camp guards or officers would have claimed just following orders or burning off their SS ID tatoos.Or have been murdered by their former surviving captives on liberation.
As opposed to a defence of it never happened.Even Eichmann didn’t claim any defence of it never happened when they caught him.Also a lot of effort put in to capturing him by Israel for something that supposedly never happened.
What was the Palestinian Mufti’s interest in the SS Hanshar Division all about.
Why would Israel want to honour Oskar Schindler ?.Honoured him for what ?.Why didn’t he deny that the narrative ever happened ?.

Back to the topic why would Zalensky want any involvement with Russian and NK ally China ?.Let alone the export of strategic raw materials.The same applies to Starmer and his Socialist EU allies doing what’s good for the Chinese economy and military budget.
Also why would Starmer want to put our forces into the harm’s way of the China/Russia TSENTR military exercise plan on Russia’s and China’s terms and obviously planned killing ground turf ?.

So you’re saying that the Russian Communist Party were actually Socialist or they just didn’t understand the difference when they called it USSR.Then you blame me for it.
The truth is it’s all one and the same ideology under the same red star and the red flag.The same red star as on the Yugoslav flag and Chinese and Russian insignia and the red flag worshipped by Starmer’s Bolshevik army.
Doubt if you’ve ever been out of Australia let alone to the old Yugoslavia, surrounded by the same Red Star as worshipped by Soviets and Chinese Communists.

Not quite.

Did you ever hear of the Tito-Stalin split?
How about Titoism, or who then accepted American aid?
Do the words ‘non-aligned’ mean anything to you? (Especially the ‘non’ part.)

Are you still saying that the red star on the old Yugoslav flag is the same and the ideology is the same?

You might scuttle off back to google and do a bit more research before spouting such tripe. :wink:

I can remember the Russian trucks still running through Austria into Yugoslavia and all the Russian military kit still in Yugoslav service even after Tito’s death let alone before.Also locals and westerners warned of summary arrest for any photography or communication deemed to be against Party or defence interests.
Define ‘unaligned’ and ‘split’.
At no time did the Russian Communist Party ever revise the title of USSR to show any difference between Communist or Socialist from start to finish.
Google indeed.

If you want argue that,
there is no question mark over Zalensky’s dealings with and strategic raw materials exports to Russian ally China.
Or western trade policy also arming China to the teeth in that regard.
Or that the Holocaust never happened and not followed by the treacherous anti Semitic actions of the Atlee regime.
Or that sending British troops on a wild goose chase in the Eurasian expanse in the light of the intent of the TSENTR military exercises, makes any sense unless Starmer is working for the enemy side.
Or that there’s any ideological difference between Socialism v Communism.
It’s not me that needs the digger.

Exactly when/how did the USSR supposedly ‘morph’ into the Russian Communist Party and Communism, bearing in mind the latter created the former ?.
Or for that matter when did China ever transition from Socialism to Communism.They are mutually inclusive terms for the same ideology.

@carryfast You are absolutely clueless and obtuse, ergo I’m not even going to attempt to enlighten or educate you. You’d only launch into another ignorant wafflefest.
As a staunch anti-socialist are you claiming to have never used social housing, NHS, State education or social security of any description, or were you subsidised by the bank of mum and dad? For someone who failed to make headway in any qualified or skilled profession and resorted to casual, minimum wage unskilled work when offered, I have serious doubts that, that person could survive without significant external financial assistance.

Nothing in life is free.The NHS, education budget, and social housing budget were paid for out of the taxes imposed on my wages and spending.
I never used Social housing and as for the bank of Mum and Dad much of what I was left with after paying single person’s income tax went into paying a fair share of the mortgage and living costs.While those living in subsidised housing called me and my parents militants for demanding sufficient wages to cover a proper mortgage payment.
So you’re saying that the Russian Communist Party didn’t know the definition of Communism and Socialism ?.
That the Holocaust didn’t happen ?.
The Socialist Atlee regime wasn’t typically anti Semitic and biased against the formation of Israel in that ?.
The Soviet Bloc and China didn’t arm the Arab States with the intention of wiping Israel off the map in 1967 and '73 ?.
As for Starmer sending British forces into Ukraine, in the knowledge of the TSENTR exercises and their location, intent and participants and European and Ukrainian appeasement policy regarding China.
I’d prefer to trust Trump than Starmer.Obviously you won’t agree.

You’ve done okay, contributing little.

The meagre contributions you made came nowhere near what you took from the state.

You were being subsidised by your parents, even beyond their graves.

Oh dear, your lack of compression skill is becoming quite a problem for you. Please point out where I have made any of those statements. I’ve never heard of the Atlee regime, socialist or otherwise, so it’s highly doubtful I made any comment on that. However, I will retract upon reference to where I made those statements.

I didn’t, CF. Read the post.

Has comprehension problems, go easy.

Anyone: “Two plus two equals four”

CF (and others) :
“Ah, so you are saying that one plus three cannot possibly be four”
or more likely
“Ah, so you are saying that since two numbers can be added together, 5 plus 4 must be eleventy-six-and-a-half”

The parts of your post that I left out are your usual distracting and irrelevant word salad and therefore not worthy of my time.

I said non aligned, but never mind.

FYI, the part that I’ve quoted doesn’t need any of your distracting tactics such as asking for a definition.

The following is from a paragraph called Yugoslav–Soviet split and the Non-Alignment Movement which can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslavia

“The country distanced itself from the Soviets in 1948 and started to build its own way to socialism under the political leadership of Josip Broz Tito. Accordingly, the constitution was heavily amended to replace the emphasis on democratic centralism with workers’ self-management and decentralisation. The communist party was renamed to the League of Communists and adopted Titoism at its congress the previous year.”

By your reply, you’ve proved that you either don’t read posts properly before spouting your waffle, or you don’t properly understand what’s been written before spouting your waffle. Either of these tends to destroy your credibility.

As part of the international elites, [ :wink: ] I drove artics to Yugoslavia IIRC around 1981/2 and encountered the countries that are now called Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia, but never got asked to go any further than Belgrade.

Would you care to name the exact source of your waffle about red stars and red flags, or did you just make it all up?

I’m surprised nobody has picked up on (or risen to) the Holocaust denial crack.
I certainly aint going down that route having visited Auschwitz and met at least 2 survivors…mainly because of utmost respect.

Either you agree that Communism and Socialism are the same thing or you agree that the Russian Communist Party didn’t know or understand the difference in naming the USSR ?.Which is it.?
My references to the Holocaust and the UK regime’s predictably shameful actions against Israeli settlers during the formation of Israel, were directed to Bking,
not you.But notice that while you prefer to make the usual personalised attacks against me you’re obviously ok with letting Holocaust denial and anti Semitism go unchallenged.( No I don’t agree with gagging the free speech of those pushing the Holocaust denial narrative but can bet that Socialism in whatever form will usually be behind it ).
As for the topic I’ve said why sending our forces into Ukraine would be a very bad idea and distrust the motives of Starmer in that regard, for obvious reasons.
As for my parents supposedly subsidising me that would be news to them.Having made it clear that I had to contribute my share of the household budget resulting in the mortgage being paid off sooner than if I wasn’t there.
How could I, being single with no offspring, paying elevated income tax for the privilege, have taken more out than a married couple with a large family getting married persons tax relief, living in social housing and getting family benefits to match, which my parents never got having just one child.
Bearing in mind that most of my life has been under Tory governments not supposedly Socialist, for all the difference it makes.
