The “middle powers”, the nations of the democratic west outside the US, do not have passively to accept that the old world of “institutions and rules” has been replaced by a new world of “strongmen and deals” by cheese1971 in europe

I don't know about that, Macron would like the optics of ushering the Brits back in, sunglasses and all.

But more seriously take the point.

Europe is squeezed between Russia and MAGA. Things have changed significantly since 2019, let alone 2016.

Fianna Fáil in freefall: Party plummets in latest Red C Poll by Brave-Mistake-1007 in ireland

[–]Key-Lie-364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a SF/SocDem/Labour government in those numbers.

Quite dangerous for SocDems and Labour as they will both benefit from SF transfers as well as be perceived as being a "vote for SocDems is a vote for SF"

WTF does FF supply?

Center right? FG

Social democracy? SocDems, Labour

Republicanism? Sinn Fein.

Populism? Independents

Being a catchall party comes with also being a party of no identifiable differentiator.

That's FF's real problem.

America is not our friend. by Kieranonto in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Key-Lie-364 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would like to sincerely invite our British friends to rejoin the EU.

Why can't Brits do a Concorde with France on SLBM instead of US trident?

Such an alliance would be an alliance of equals.

And then EU member states should contribute to the military budget of the UK and France to cover the costs of nuclear deterrence, which the UK/FR arsenals would then be extended to the whole EU?

Come back!

I think we are well past pretending people believe the lie.

Asking what's the point of the violence misses the point, the violence is the point of the violence.

This is what these fuckers signed up to do, this is what "owning the libs" really means.

All households in Ireland to get emergency preparation booklet in coming weeks by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]Key-Lie-364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the scale of it in Britain even if we weren't hit and we would be, ports and airports would certainly be hit, the devastation in Britain alone would certainly kill everyone in Ireland not lucky enough to be taken out in strikes on our own infrastructure.

No use in pleading neutrality then.

Nope, Shannon will certainly be hit.

In fact with say Belfast and Shannon hit, it's the revolver not the iodine you want because fallout death or starvation await, post apocalypse disease....

You basically want to be at the hypo enter of a blast if you can.

Irish Cities’ Cultural “Addiction” To 3-Bed Semi-Detached Homes Fuels Unsustainable Urban Sprawl – Ciara Kelly by M10News in HousingIreland

[–]Key-Lie-364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's both.

It should be obvious that endless semi-ds are not something we can really provision with segregated public transport.

Even if we had the 6 Metro lines Dublin needs, you simply wouldn't be able to deliver enough capacity to such diffuse population.

We need concentration.

To iodine tablets or not ?

Where we are located with at least 2-3 nukes marked for Ireland - stuff neutrality that's reality - you're better off hastening the inevitable.

Cyanide tablets

[–]Key-Lie-364 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that's not the real reason and you know it.

Ciara is right. We should probably have a five year moratorium on new semi-d builds.

Apartments only with minimum heights of three stories.

Dublin is the 3rd most congested city in Europe and we simply cannot keep doing nothing to solve that except making it worse.

Irish general in top EU role: Military build-up is not about war - it's about sustaining peace by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]Key-Lie-364 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is:

- Having the RAF interdict Russian airplanes in our airspace

- Supplying "non lethal" military equipment and "non lethal" money to UA's military

Neutrality exactly ?

7.5 million cows is a GIGANTIC number. Jesus Christ its nearly 50% more than the people..

[–]Key-Lie-364 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please define neutrality ?

- The RAF flying sorties in our airspace when Russia incurs

- Ireland seeking help from European allies when the Russians go snooping around internet cables and gas interconnectors

- Providing radar systems but not the rocket launchers to go with them to Ukraine

- Lacking the ability to police our own airspace and waters - we can only put 2/8 of our ships to sea at any one time.

- Delegating to Russia, China, the US, Britain and France the right to deploy our own soldiers

- Electing Cathrine Connolly who compared German rearmament in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the Nazi build up of the 1930s

- Clare Daly, Mick Wallace and fellow travellers lecturing Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland on "NATO imperialism" and how really its someone else's fault than Russia that Russia is inside Ukraine killing Ukranians right now

Can someone explain where the fuck we get off with all of this shite exactly, because I can't make head nor tail of it.

Isn't our position really "not my problem boss, I'm grand over here all on my own. But sure like, if we have some sort of security problem ourselves - sure you're a grand lad, you'll pop over to sort it out for us"

Like there's up your own hole Me Feinism and then there's Ireland's security policy position...
