More than 2 months ago, Irish #Aughinish Alumina has been caught red-handed supplying essential materials to the russian war economy. They are directly responsible for hundreds of innocent deaths in #Ukraine. The Irish government continues to refuse to take responsibility, making #Ireland an official sponsor of war crimes in Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/24/irish-metals-refinery-is-in-supply-chain-that-feeds-russian-war-machine-records-suggest

Irish Government faces EU pressure over Aughinish Alumina’s Russian links

In Irland funktionieren antikoloniale Reflexe offenbar nach dem Schema "Der Feind meines Feindes ist mein Freund". Solange es gegen UK geht, ist alles richtig.
Wenn UK aber die Ukraine in ihrem antikolonialen Kampf unterstützt, führen die Reflexe Irland in die "Neutralität". Was das bedeutet, zeigt sich an den Reaktionen auf die Recherchen um die Aluminiumoxid-Fabrik in #Aughinish, die hauptsächlich für Russland arbeitet.

RTE started off by saying that Aughinish was exporting a female graduate ('alumna') to Russia, but corrected it later to alumina.
