slaughter''

Russian Ambassador to Ireland defends invasion amid calls to expel him - and gets slapped round the chops in this masterclass of journalism. We all need more of this.

Biff. Bff. Uppercut.

1. He sounds like a member of the GOP with the constant lying! No wonder they loved TFG

[ShazzieB]

2. Boy, does that ambassador look uncomfortable!

He is spouting bullshit that he KNOWS is bullshit, as the Irish TV host keeps pointing out, but the ambassador has no choice but to keep blurting out words he knows full well are lies, because if he doesn't, he will lose his job (and who knows what else will happen to him, because his boss Putin is a madman). He knows all this, the TV host knows it, and most of the audience probably knows it. What a sureal charade!

3. As I said elsewhere, Send all of the Ambassadors back to Russia along with their staff.

Putin doesn't believe in diplomacy except as propaganda so let's end that farce for him.

One side effect is that it would put China on notice regarding Taiwan.

4. Not a bad idea.

Since tRump's pal, Putin is trying to return Russia back into the old Soviet Union.

10. The Irish, British and Australians ave smart people who do these things

Not useless oxygen thieves like Chuck Todd

[PatrickforB]

12. This journalist needs to become an anchor for one of our networks.

Say! Maybe he could replace Chuck Todd!

Now, THERE'S an idea...

13. I have a good feeling that Ireland will do the right thing

Kick his lying Russian ass off the island.
