    Yeah, Ukraine didn’t join NATO, but there was a NATO base in Ukraine, it was armed by NATO, it’s troops were trained by NATO, NATO made them a target. 😐

    Leo squirming and trying to use flattery and nlp to dodge the awkward question about Higgins
    It enrages me to hear him speak supposedly on behalf of the Irish people

    Conor McGregor to be made Chief of Defence. Ireland joins NATO by 2026. India's Modi becomes Taoiseach, Leo Tanáiste. The ducks in Stephens Green Park sing La Marseillaise from the bandstand at noon on Sundays.

    Guess a promotion of military industry and civilian militia building is needed then. But I feel like this chap would be for neither
    We've seen the consequences of neutrality unprepared firsthand multiple times throughout history, the only reason Finland and Ukraine exist currently is due to how unappealing invasion is and Ireland is extremely vulnerable position currently from oceanic defence, the Brits controling most of our waters all the way to air defence.

    Norway thought they could remain neutral in WW2 ...but Germany , under Hitler , ignored this and marched in and took Norway

    They'll try to salami slice it in.
    Next 10 years.
    We're not joining nato, we're just joining N.
    As a member of N we're not joining nato we're just expanding our membership to A.
    As members of NA it only makes sense to join an alliance with T.
    Theres no point being part of NAT. We should finish the job and join with O.

    The comments I see only cement my belief that many of my fellow irish men are simple minded, wouldn't fight to defend yourselves and not wanting to be part of something bigger.
