WTF happened to Ireland? All their struggles against England just to hand it all over to Islamic tyrants and homos. Disgusting to see.

That’s pronounced:

Eeetz a lung Vay to Tipparayree”

“итьс а лонг wаы то типперары”

лол.

I actually saw the Red Army Chorus in person, many years ago...and yes. they sang this song!

Not to be pedantic, but I figured it’d be transliterated as “Иц а лонг вэй ту Типпэрэрий” . . .

Sorry . . . just my experience reading Cyrillic pages. I remember being surprised that “Manhattan” was transliterated “Манхэттен” (or “Mankhetten”); seemed counterintuitive.

No problem.

They have some letters that stand for four consonants, like “Shchi”.
