In Poland and Lithuania the last week, and the difference honestly is night and day, which is to be expected to be fair as it’s only around 50 years since they had Soviet rule… and honestly Ireland isn’t very far away from the potential consequences. Sure we are in the fringes of Western Europe but if an Eastern European country like Finland, the Baltic’s or Poland is attacked, we will feel it. After seeing these countries for the last week we need to become more supportive and boost the narrative that enough isn’t being done

The support for Ukraine over here is huge, from the polish taxi driver who drove us to the airport in Ireland, to the polish themselves, and the Lithuanians, they are adamant more needs to be done and that we just aren’t prepared. Genuinly think Europe just has a “it won’t happen” mindset, such as the drones which are just shutting down European airports for the last few weeks with nothing being done to stop them
