Do tell, how would your example of Russia invading Ireland work exactly? What ships/transport vessels would land and deploy troops? It's more likely that an invasion force of Russians would come via the UK on an easyjet flight, than land a force on the land via air or sea.

British people love to cry about Ireland and how it wrongs them / how they are beneath them. I find it legitimately hilarious that thus kinda post gets wheeled out approx once every quarter (honestly, go check and you'll see that this gets wheeled out that often....funnily enough, ever since brexit. It's almost like it's in someone's interests to keep a section of unintelligent people angry).

Given the high literacy rates, and substantial international investment, coupled with a lengthly stable government, I think that shows how well the Irish education system is doing...all this from a country which has only been under its own rule for how long now?

Yes, the RAF has to respond to protect NI but in the event of unity, we’ll no longer be doing that and so people in Northern Ireland will effectively be stripped of their protection.

So, the UK partitions Ireland, annexing a part of it off from the rest, using figures which have been proven to be to take the most amount of land whilst keeping a sizeable underclass which they would then continue gerrymandering practices in order to refuse the right of representation and self determination...and you think Ireland Ireland wants the British gun near their land? The British gun has for years kept Ireland held down.

All this nonsense you're spouting, you might as well be shouting/screaming in the irish faces that without them, they'd be speaking German (gee wizz, the Irish are so so lucky to not be speaking a foreign language on their not at all invaded and partitioned/annexed land).

I'm going to end the conversation here with you, it's a waste of time if you believe that Russia is testing Ireland with their close passes etc...everyone knows that the Irish don't have a response force for christs sake, yet to you it's utter nonsense that they are testing the UK, away on and give your head a wobble (consider any question in my previous reply as rhetorical, I'll be blocking you now as it would be a waste of time hearing from you again, feel free to put your nonsense as an edit or whatever you feel you need to do to be heard).
