In a recent article published by Politico, it is claimed that "Ireland has outsourced its security to Britain". What do you think, is this an accurate claim?
Do I honestly have to tell you that many nasty things can indeed pop up from beneath the waves? That nuclear-powered submarines can travel vast distances without surfacing?
Nope, but it’s still bullshit shilling for the MIC to demand that neutral to semi-neutral Ireland waste a shitload of resources on military conflicts that have nothing to do with them.
Yes there’s a lot of letterbox firms, it’s a tax haven, but even if you’d have to halve their number to correct for that, they’re still just as rich as the UK and France.
Yeah, that’s absolute horseshit. Ireland is NOWHERE NEAR as rich as the likes of France and the UK. The latter did their best to make sure of that for hundreds of years. National generational poverty from colonialism sucking a country dry doesn’t just happen in Africa, you know…
How has the invasion of Ukraine not woken you up yet? Do you live on a different continent?
The invasion of Ukraine, while of course awful and a cavalcade of war crimes, is NOT a reason to aggressively militarize the entire world.
I know that your establishment media is spinning it like it does (which is the case here in Denmark too), but a world already suffering from increasing inequality due to continuing rightwards political drift and the resulting robber baron since the turn of the millennium does NOT become more secure or more prosperous by everyone wasting more much-needed resources on their militaries.
“Neutral” to what, precisely? Ireland is one of only 8% of countries on this planet that are still considered full democracies, a number that’s rapidly dwindling as the authoritarians gain political ground. And you think Ireland should be “neutral” to the piecemeal extirpation of democratic civilization because, what, Russia and China and the fascists in the US and Europe will just leave Ireland alone?? That we shouldn’t have active deterrents? Nobody is asking Ireland to go to war. They’re asked to be able to defend themselves.
