Where do I even start, and now you know why I’m skeptical of the “you know who is having a good war” type stuff.

That’s not a plan but a bullet point synopsis of NATO’s intended aims. Its like bollocks to fill up space on CVs.

Is the pork haystack meant to look stoic there? He looks like he's trying to hold in a fart at a funeral.

The UK government's 6-point plan to support Ukraine:
1. Do very little.
2. Say very little.
3. Mislead the public.
4. Er... that's it.

Truck crashes into gates of Russian Embassy in Dublin

A man has been arrested after a truck was driven into the gates of the Russian Embassy in Dublin.

It happened outside the building at Orwell Road in Rathmines at about 13:30 local time on Monday.

Video footage of the incident, posted on social media by Irish broadcaster RTÉ, shows the vehicle reversing into the gates.

Gardaí (Irish police) said they are "investigating an incident of criminal damage".

The detained man was taken to Rathfarnham Garda Station and he remains in custody.

Who is this blogger calling themself armchair news, and why should I take their word for anything? Any idiot can start a blog on WordPress, and a lot of them have. Why am I supposed to think that this isn't one of them?

Before I allow myself the luxury of panicking I'd like to know who is this person and what are their credentials?

"Of course we are the real victims" may play well in some quarters.

The likes of Spiked and Littlejohn have broken it for many of us.

Got to say that the statement above reads...well, a little bogus? Almost stereotypically comedy Russian at points.

Also, Armchair News? Has Fenton's pet Trot found a new outlet?

Nominet lookup has shown the owner of the domain has anonymised it.

It's perfect doomscrolling material and I know one right-wing headbanger with major anxiety for whom that'd be a major trigger.

Anyway, Fenton's pet twa- sorry, Trot, wouldn't blame Russia.

It's insane that this was allowed to happen. The consequences could have been catastrophic and, as Liz Truss would put it, eskyalatry.

If diplomats aren't safe, we're all in mortal danger.
