Comments by "Tadhg Cronin" (@tadhgcronin175) on "The Duran" channel.

  1. The European Union is beyond help. The best outcome would be a return to the European Economic Community. Our politicians have forgotten how to lead after 50 or 70 years of backroom deals and virtue signalling.
    349
  2. Great analysis as always gentlemen. The President is absolutely brilliant, so impressive. Alexander is correct in saying he is unique. I urge everyone to listen to the President's speeches over the years. They are astonishing in their scope.
    232
  3. Iran should understand by now that a nuclear deterrent is the best possible defence
    180
  4. Great comment by Alexander re European unity. Forgot about it. Get our state sovereignty back. Independent nations. The European Union is doomed. "good riddance, we're off".
    112
  5. A great range of topics today. The point Alex made about the people Trump appointed is so painfully true. Sessions, Rosenstein, Barr, Wray and others, truly awful people.
    109
  6. Every time Finland goes to war with Russia it gets smaller. The last time they lost Vyborg this time they will loose Helsinki.
    72
  7. Germany is an occupied nation since their defeat in WW2.
    72
  8. Well done gentlemen, this was complete news to me. Absolutely no mention of this is the narrative media. Great news for the people of Taiwan. The global policeman has lost all credibility.
    67
  9. It is amazing the scope of his ability. A colossal reach, anyone who is prepared to actually listen to any one of his extraordinary speeches will understand the difference between Putin and the western soundbite politicians.
    61
  10. If Hungarians get a chance to exit grab the chance. The European Union is a catastrophe.
    51
  11. Terrific news and wonderful analysis. The chaotic retreat from Kabul by the Americans has not gone unnoticed. The emperor has no clothes.
    50
  12. The European Union is the problem not the solution. Ireland joined the European Economic Community not the EUSSR. It's time for us to leave this toxic dystopia.
    49
  13. Innovation in Europe is destroyed by regulation.
    48
  14. The Dancing Queen has hypnotised the Finns. Imagine joining NATO without a referendum in either Finland or Sweden.
    40
  15. Go Woke go Broke. The festival of virtue signalling is over.
    40
  16. No. The millions who actually voted for him are.
    39
  17. Great report as always. A survey by a huge supermarket group in Ireland revealed that 80% of people were worried about their finances in relation to electricity, heating and food bills. And with 4 or more interest hikes in the first half of 2023 the Irish people will be decimated. There are protests on a continuous basis completely unreported by media.
    36
  18. The little WEF dancing queen.
    22
  19. They are not incompetent. They are bought and paid for.
    21
  20. Great discussion as always. "Lurching from one stupidity to another" this sums up the European Union perfectly.
    18
  21. It's been an incredible 3 years thank you both so much for your brilliant analysis.
    18
  22. Great to see a Hemingway quote. I've just finished reading To Have and Have Not. Very good indeed.
    17
  23. It never needed legal authority. The profoundly dire situation in Haiti has its roots in French colonialism and a ruthless debt burden. On a positive note some of us remember Dien Biden Phu.
    17
  24. Regime change is needed in the European Union.
    16
  25. Great analysis as always, thanks guys.
    15
  26. Great analysis as always. It's so important to have access to this information. It's great to hear that anti EU sentiment is growing in France. The French are key to dismantling the European Union.
    14
  27. 12 years of MAGA.
    14
  28. Great report guys. I follow a channel Sanity 4 Sweden and he has highlighted this gangland criminality for years. Really shocking stuff and a lot of sexual attacks too.
    13
  29. This was wonderful analysis as always. The problem with the Europeans is a complete lack of people with ability for leadership. The structure of the project is not capable of projecting military power due to the huge divergence of all these nation states with thousands of years of independence and their own entirely separate cultures and languages and values. The European Union is like wallpaper on a cracked wall.
    13
  30. An absolute pleasure to listen to such fantastic analysis.
    13
  31. From Africa to South America to Asia, the children of the free world need to know about NATO aggression and war crimes.
    11
  32. Great comment. The diesel shortage will be apocalyptic. Walking Dead type stuff. The supermarkets will be empty in a week.
    11
  33. I often think about him, lighting up his marlboro. He had such a great attitude and was very good at assessing the issues. RIP.
    10
  34. Yes. I miss him. His reports always had a distinctive nuance. I often think of his very last post. Very sad.
    10
  35. Fantastic analysis as always. The European reduction in energy is due mostly to the increasing poverty of the European population. However on the brightside this will continue as Germany and the rest deindustrialise there will be less need for oil, natural gas and coal. A big win for Greta.
    9
  36. And Zelensky
    8
  37. This is so true. Watching the series of interviews with Oliver Stone and President Putin one is in awe of this guys knowledge, wisdom and leadership. He has a grasp of power politics that is unrivalled.
    8
  38. Really looking forward to the Robert Barnes live stream today.
    8
  39. They are put there to do what they are told, not to be peace advocates or to act in an honourable way.
    8
  40. I was nodding in agreement until I read your comment. Spot on.
    8
  41. It's too soon to stop the war. The Russians have lost too many lives, the 4 objectives of the SMO have not been achieved. Putin owes this to the young men who died.
    8
  42. Great comment
    8
  43. A very interesting comment.
    8
  44. Absolutely fantastic analysis.
    8
  45. I think Finland wants Vyborg back.
    8
  46. He needs to go into exile in Tel Aviv.
    8
  47. That's a trick he learned to project. It's like Bernie Saunders looking serious.
    7
  48. Good suggestion.
    7
  49. The comparison is indeed apt.
    7
  50. I think you are absolutely correct. We are certainly in the right place.
    7
  51. EUSSR
    7
  52. Great analysis.
    7
  53. Trump = No War. Have you forgotten already.
    7
  54. Talk of banning AFD. Talk of not allowing Le Pen to run in France. The draconian "hate speech" laws in Ireland . The European Union is turning into a monster.
    6
  55. He's not a coward. He is ably representing the people who put him in charge and I'm not talking about the French electorate.
    6
  56. Controlled opposition. Liberal Democracy is the great Tweedle Dum Tweedle Dee trick. As Klaus Schwab said, vote for whoever you want, they all work for me.
    6
  57. Putin was easily fooled by Merkel but Berlusconi always knew she was a UFLA
    6
  58. Absolutely and if in The Netherlands the Forum for Democracy.
    6
  59. Correct. But it's so much deeper than what we see on the surface.
    6
  60. Great. I wonder how far it will get. It's a fine target.
    6
  61. How about a referendum in each member state EU vs EEC
    5
  62. This is the happy conundrum required. They are all so amazingly bad you need not vote. I haven't voted in 30 years and I'm never disappointed.
    5
  63. Indeed. I enjoyed his antics, very funny.
    5
  64. It would only be symbolic. The Russian missiles and submarines are too advanced now. They can strike anywhere from anywhere.
    5
  65. You are totally right. With eat or heat there will be nothing left to go around. We are in a hopeless situation. People who were never affected by recession before are going to experience it big time.
    5
  66. Make no mistake this is what the European Union is all about. Remove accountability from national parliaments and remove Democracy from European government. A nightmare.
    5
  67. Another great report. The Europeans are really demilitarising themselves. With the Russians arms manufacturers operating 24/7 one can only imagine the scale of production in China. Things are not looking good for the West on any level.
    4
  68. Indeed.
    4
  69. We can only live in hope.
    4
  70. Ukraine was family too, brothers no less.
    4
  71. Thanks. Interesting statistic but not surprising.
    4
  72. Great assessment. I think Alex nailed it. Everything East of the Dneiper is gone for good. The only prize for NATO is a Poland that goes all the way to Odessa. The British are obsessed with the Black Sea. And this why a significant amount of mobilised Russian troops troops are in Belarus.
    4
  73. Thanks guys. This was an awesome report.
    4
  74. Sensible approach. I think there is going to be a tsunami of refugees soon.
    4
  75. Thanks. I went off and watched it, a very good piece indeed. Well spotted.
    3
  76. Superb and thought provoking analysis. An additional point on why the national politicians love the EUSSR so much is that it provides them with cover from the electorate. It's not us it's the EU. It's not us it's the WHO. It's not us it's the UN. It's not us the Paris Climate Treaty. Every day on Irish Legacy Media we hear the mantra of our international obligations as the unvetted migrants pour into every town and village in Ireland.
    3
  77. Unfortunately it's the Europeans who are most at risk. Both militarily and most obviously financially.
    3
  78. Great point. And I'm sure the BRICS might consider helping the Hungarian people.
    3
  79. Thanks guys. Great analysis. I think all the guff about nukes is a fear mongering ploy to lock in support from the European public who will soon freeze. Interesting that a lot of Russian cities are cancelling New Year's festivities and fireworks, so they know this conflict is going to drag on. Macron is also commiting more weapons so he is also getting onside, no more phone calls to Putin.
    3
  80. Far more likely that the Europeans are in a desperate situation. Russia has unlimited resources, the United States has unlimited resources, sadly the European Union has "european values". Not enough to heat a greenhouse.
    3
  81. Ah come on. Cheer up. Put on Eric Idle and have a beer. What a privilege to witness the end of days. I feel like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.
    3
  82. Sounds about right. A grim bunch.
    3
  83. I agree 100%. To be informed the last thing you need is mainstream media. The Duran is fantastic.
    3
  84. Great comment
    3
  85. 🤣🤣🤣👍
    3
  86. Totally true but how long will it take Germany to repair Nord Stream and will they be able to afford it.
    3
  87. Precisely
    2
  88. The first order of business for the Rinos administration will have nothing to do with Ukraine. It will be the impeachment of Biden and some type of investigation into Fauci.
    2
  89. The politicians in the EUSSR control the judges and the media and their army of toxic NGOs.
    2
  90. And their children safely stashed away in England and Switzerland.
    2
  91. I think this might have been going on for some time already.
    2
  92. The wretched European Union is a frame of mind.
    2
  93. Western Liberal Democracy is toxic.
    2
  94. This investigation was always going to be comedy gold. Alexander's opening comments were excellent. It's astonishing that such a critical part of German infrastructure is destroyed and The Germans are so weak they can do absolutely nothing. Sweden was up to it's neck in the Assange conspiracy.
    2
  95. Great comment
    2
  96. I completely agree with you.
    2
  97. It is a major mistake to presume that Blinken is persuing any kind of diplomacy, he's not, he is providing cover for ethnic cleansing and war crimes.
    2
  98. The International Criminal Court is a tool for the the US and Europe. It is a one sided kangaroo court and not fit for purpose. The same can be said about the IAEA, the OSCE and the IOC, all tools for Western Hegemony and neo colonialism.
    2
  99. Wouldn't that have been great. Our landmass from Lisbon to Vladivostok and Amsterdam to Macau. The Americans have successfully destroyed that possibility.
    2
  100. The trade union movement in Germany should have known that the Greens are crazy. It's a bit too late now.
    2
  101. I've seen this and also before the conflict Orban prudently secured a long term gas arrangement and has not imposed sanctions and yet inflation is very high there.
    2
  102. Absolutely.
    2
  103. Great analysis as always.
    2
  104. Great report. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas. It's time for the Russians to stop the whinging and start acting against these outrageous provocations.
    2
  105. The Green Party has been an absolute catastrophe for Irish politics and the Irish people. I would implore the British public not to vote for The Greens. They are a bunch of deranged nitwits and will say anything to get into power. They are a cult. Vote Conservative or Labour, if the Greens get in you're doomed. Total pro war pack of nuts.
    2
  106. A profoundly depressing and distressing analysis from Alexander. It seems like Ursula and her gang are determined to remove democracy from Europe completely.
    2
  107. I wouldn't depend on it.
    2
  108. The Brexit vote was the most significant populist vote ever in Europe. This was the UKIP vote. The Labour movement is dead and has been replaced by the Welfare & Identity movement.
    2
  109. You are Swiss, we are the European Union, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile.
    2
  110. Finally the Russians have found out who their real friends are. Not the west that Putin courted while they deceived him. A fake friend like Mutti Merkel conspiring behind his back. The West is only interested in what is in the ground of Russia, of Ukraine, of Serbia, of Africa.
    2
  111. Great report guys. Another core "european value" removal of political opposition. There is a significant attack on the Sinn Fein party in Ireland going on in the Legacy Media.
    2
  112. Hungary can bring a case to the Court of Justice of the European Union over this illegal action by the unelected Queen of Europe and the pretend parliament.
    1
  113. Hungary can bring a case to the Court of Justice of the European Union over this illegal action by the unelected Queen of Europe and the pretend parliament.
    1
  114. Great analysis as always gentlemen. Regarding the comments made by Alex on the European Elite, these people are staggeringly arrogant. They are absolutely reviled.
    1
  115. There is no accountability in the EU. It was designed to be like this. Pretend national parliaments with no power and a pretend european parliament with no power and a non elected ruling elite with the secretive Bilderberg group in charge.
    1
  116. A wonderful discussion. Terrifying times. The only figure like JFK in US politics is JD Vance.
    1
  117. The General was acting in the best interests of the troops a bloody defeat would have been much worse . But someone in Moscow needs to get the finger out. This Special Military Operation is not going well. The economic sanctions war is going great for Russia. Europe is in a perilous situation and the United Kingdom is going over the cliff as is Germany.
    1
  118. No. They did a proper job on Corbyn, the antisemitism stuff was ingenious. The last thing they want is a conviction politician, only the smarmy need apply.
    1
  119. No. Cheap symbolism and useless sanctions, arrogance and stupidity are all "european values". The United States is a military super power, like China, Russia and India.
    1
  120. The headline is completely misleading. Biden has absolutely nothing to do with determining US policy, on the conflict in Russia or any economic or national policy. He is senile and unwell. He is wheeled out for TV from time to time. There is a central committee running the US at the moment.
    1
  121. Super analysis.
    1
  122. I suspect that Meloni reports to the United States of America rather than the EU.
    1
  123. Astonishing that ECOWAS will fight a colonial war for France against other Africans.
    1
  124. He has been warning us since his speech in Munich in 2007 and he repeated the warnings again and again. Instead of listening the west installed a NeoN regime in Kiev. The Russians lost 25 million people in the Great Patriotic War.
    1
  125. The rot was obvious since its inception. The move from Common Market to European Union was complete when the euro handcuffs went click.
    1
  126. The willingness of the European Elite to turn Europe into a battle ground for the United States is incomprehensible. Brexit was an astonishing opportunity for the EU to move away from the Trans Atlantic alliance but they seem to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
    1
  127. Great discussion. The unelected European Elite haven't exhibited any ability since the SMO started. They have ruined their own economies and are impoverishing the people in the EUSSR. All their ill-conceived sanctions have backfired. The head of the European Central Bank has a conviction for negligence.
    1
  128. Grubby and undignified. What a precise description of the state of the European Union. A body so full of hubris and arrogance that it has reduced itself to slogans, deceit and threats. A parade of nonsense from a confederacy of dunces.
    1
  129. The French lady should go home to Paris.
    1
  130. But the German government knew beforehand.
    1
  131. The European Union is the enemy.
    1
  132. The chickens will come home to roost this winter but people must realise that there is no journalism in Europe, everything is narrative.
    1
  133. Great point. And I'm sure the BRICS might consider helping the Hungarian people.
    1
  134. People are always anxious to blame the United States for everything but the European Union and the United Kingdom are more than willing partners in aggression and theft.
    1
  135. Relax Lorenzo. Joe Biden does not have the nuclear codes. Obama has.
    1
  136. If the BRICS are to remain secure then they need to avoid US tech companies like the plague. Oracle, Google, Cisco, Facebook etc. No zionist companies. Let's hope Huawei is up to the task.
    1
  137. Very true. They have been getting subsided Russian gas for years and they are so dumb this is gone for ever.
    1
  138. The Aspen Institute. Isn't that the outfit that Meloni is attached to. She is very loyal to the transatlantic arrangements with the US.
    1
  139. Olaf "liver sausage" Sholtz must be the weakest political leader ever. He doesn't have a clue. He should do the decent thing and resign.
    1
  140. The only sane people in the Baltic states are ethnic Russians.
    1
  141. Perhaps a prudent fiscal response would be to stop sending money to the Elensky regime.
    1
  142. He doesn't see it like that at all.
    1
  143. Great analysis as always.
    1
  144. A great interview.
    1
  145. Great analysis guys. There really is no point in President Xi having a telephone with Biden. The guy has dementia, he doesn't know what day it is. What would they talk about, ice cream.
    1
  146. You don't get a vote to join NATO.
    1
  147. There are so many targets it doesn't bare think about. Things are getting very grave. I think the electoral situation in the West is going to get bonkers. They have gone broke.
    1
  148. The OSCE is a NATO sidekick. Same as IAEA.
    1
  149. Girlish giggles but no referendum for joining the NATO war machine.
    1
  150. The US will never repay it's debt and Europe is like the last days of the Raj.
    1
  151. We are the European Union. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
    1
  152. But the European leadership is entirely stupid, a lot of them are unstable.
    1
  153. The Labour Party leadership cadre have always been tory types. Harman, Blair, Starmer, Browne, the Milliband twins.
    1
  154. The Western leadership is so arrogant, weak and stupid everyone on the World stage are giants in comparison to Biden, Macron, Sunak, Sholtz. They really are a basket of deplorables.
    1
  155. It's seismic the way things are moving. The West is looking so vulnerable now. But the real enemies are within.
    1
  156. Welcome to the European Union, I mean tyranny. Welcome to the European Tyranny.
    1
  157. Everyone is your enemy. The Americans love war. The British love War. The Germans love war but they always lose.
    1
  158. To be honest, you didn't have to be Albert Einstein to predict Liz was going to be the mother of disasters. Her first step was the economy, unfortunately step 2 is the nuclear codes.
    1
  159. A long overdue segment and I can understand the bewilderment of Alex. There is no way back. There are no solutions. We are all just witnesses now to the catastrophic collapse of the European Union and a one way ticket to our own poverty. The deluded EU elite has destroyed us. What will it look like? In 6 months it will be like The Walking Dead.
    1
  160. The absolute only single issue in war is that you do not lose. If you lose it's illegal if you win it's legal . All the guff about war crimes and illegal sanctions or seizures is meaningless. Blair, Bush, Clinton and Obama didn't lose. Gaddafi was a loser. Milosovich was a loser. Saddam was a loser. If you win the law is inevitably on your side. If you lose, the legal process awaits.
    1
  161. Obama should be tried in the United States for murdering US citizens.
    1
  162. Clare Daly is an exceptional MEP but contrary to popular belief, she and Mick Wallace represent everyone except Ireland. Pro migrant communists.
    1
  163. As far as empires go, it was pretty short lived. Spain, England, Holland were centuries old. The Romans and Greeks are gone but China is back.
    1
  164. Russia shares a border with North Korea so increasing commerce and cooperation is a logical step.
    1
  165. Tony Starmer will definitely win. It's a one horse race but it would be a help if he went incognito, he's as exciting as magnolia paint.
    1
  166. The Greens have destroyed Germany. Sholtz is simply weak.
    1
  167. Well 5 million died in the Korean war and many millions more in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. There are no limits on US evil.
    1
  168. I'm stunned you're stunned. He is establishment deep deep state to his core. Look at his bio.
    1
  169. The main reason for the deindustrialisation of Germany is the deathly embrace of Green politics. Anyone who votes Green is voting for no car, no job and no industry. It is a death cult.
    1
  170. Thanks for this outstanding analysis. The incompetence of the European leadership is breathtaking. These clowns were laughing at 45, they won't be laughing when 47 gets elected.
    1
  171. Fantastic analysis as always.
    1
  172. Contrary to what the Financial Times and the unelected European Elite may desire or wish to do the European Union has a Court of Justice and a legal framework based on the various European treaties. The court will be able to preside over a dispute between a Member State and the Commission. The EUSSR has ceased to be a "rules based order" and has become an arbitrary, day to day Mafia operation
    1
  173. The European Elite have realised that their silly lies and virtue signalling don't work any more and as a result they are becoming more authoritarian and anti democratic.
