1. Nothing like supporting apartied 

2. Wait, we have drones? When did that happen?

3. Mmmmm, because the other drone suppliers on the market totally have not sold drones to be used in shitty situations in Syria/Iraq/Ukraine/Libya/insertanywaranywherenotbeingfoughtwithsticksandstones.

4. Also worth noting that after Russia annexed Crimea they asked Israel to stop supplying Ukraine with these drones.

   Israel granted Putin’s request, while continuing to sell to Russia.

5. Are there any drone manufacturer that is selling to the good guys?… no, no there isn’t.

6. And Irish consumers are buying clothes made in forced labour concentration camps..

7. Ain’t no ethical, fair trade weapons dealers

8. I’m sure there are more ethical suppliers available.

9. Here’s me refusing to get a Soda Stream becuase it’s an Israeli product and my government are spending my taxes with the cunts

10. We build our own bomb disposal robots domestically. There’s definitely enough expertise in Ireland to do surveillance drones too. 

11. Regarding our military capabilities, we should cooperate with the Ukrainians.

    They need the money, we need the drones and their experience.
