The growing need for Ukrainian interceptors to stop shahed drones in the Middle East is just a preview.

In the coming years, the West will rely heavily on Ukrainian defense innovation.

Ukraine is indispensable to our own security.

We must do more to help them defeat Russia

"Ukraine has received 11 requests from Iran's neighbors, EU countries & the USA for protection against drones" - Zelensky

Now, have a look below to see who abstained from voting for ‘a just and lasting peace in Ukraine’ during the last UN vote.

How did the countries of Persian gulf and USA voted?

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Do You Know Where Your Children Are? Is That Always A Good Thing? Decades ago, kids were encouraged to play outside and explore the outdoors. Nowadays, protective parents have reined in their children, leading to strictly structured (and supervised) playtime. The ki...

Vicky said her son was ‘driven the few minutes to school, is taken by car to a safe place to ride his bike and can roam no more than 300 yards from home.’ Basically, he stays on the block…he prefers the family yard to the street outside. ‘He doesn't tend to go out because the other children don't.’

This is freaking insane and one main reason why I keep on in this space - absolutely absurd what we’ve normalized on our streets.

Richard Curran: If there is gas off the Irish coast we’re shooting ourselves in the foot not licensing explorers to go and find it Things are bad when the British energy minister says the UK is “exposed” to rising energy prices.

Suppose it’s simply asking far too much to expect a senior RTÉ business journalist in 2026, as the #climate crisis deepens by the month, to have grasped that continuing to drill for fossils fuels is shooting ourselves in the head, never mind foot?

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

So let's do the maths on that
1 US gallon is 3.785 litres
Yanks whining about petrol for 90 cent a litre 🙄

It's almost twice that price in Ireland #SpeirGorm

Nice to see the IFA have its arse handed to it, but the farmers are the weakest link for the development of a substantial far-right movement in Ireland.

Almost 100 jobs at risk as North Cork Creameries stops processing Staff at North Cork Creameries have been informed that their jobs at the plant are at risk, with almost 100 jobs to be impacted.

The dairy industry has operated for too long on the freedom to pollute.

Workers whose jobs are now at risk should ask their bosses why they did not invest in meeting legal requirements.

On a typical day in Galway city, you step outside your front door, immediately dodge a unicyclist, greet your fire-eating neighbour, roller-skate to work in the giant papier-maché heads factory, narrowly avoid becoming part of a druidic dance troupe, then end up in a drum circle anyway

The landlord behind the evictions in Co Wexford has “decided to withdraw” the notices.

Spox for Patchflow Ltd said it recognises that receiving eviction notices can be “deeply unsettling” and acknowledges the “stress this situation has caused” within the community.
