  1. Push it in territorial waters, then board it. Do what Russia does.

  2. Today in the Irish Navy being no deterrent at all.

    Need modern ships and attack submarines. Not many of them. But enough.

  3. Well, I guess all of a sudden Ireland wants to be part of future eu coast guard? Maybe the army even? Because it’s not 18c and Russia can threaten Ireland even though Ireland thinks it’s so remote from Moscow?

  4. Nice ship you have there. Pity if it would hit an iceberg.

  5. Not responding? They must be in distress, time to board and make sure the crew are all in good health. Maybe with a 72 hour psych hold on a military base so they know they’re safe?

  6. Seems like a good excuse to board it and check on the safety of the crew.
    Still if it is in Irish waters then direct it to port and carry out customs checks.

  7. Look, the Irish can believe what they want about whether or not they’re freeloading in the defence space but can you really consider yourself an independent country if this is, as in all cases since 1922, responded to by British military assets rather than Irish.

    Ireland has a proud tradition of soldiering and a laundry list of acts of military courage that could fill a library. It’s a crying shame that its armed forces are in such a state.

  8. Push it to international waters and scuttle it.

    if anyone asks about it just tell them you dont know what they mean

  9. Board it, if a ship is not responding assume crew are in trouble and need help

  10. Now now, let’s be fair. This is a proud member of the Ruzzian Fleet after all

    There’s a reasonable chance this Shitbox has broken down and is floating dead in the water rn

    Rather than something more insidious as being noise cover for inspecting / rigging under-sea cables

    I would love for it to *mysteriously* become a new reef

  11. Why the world is waiting that much ? Do they not learned from history? The war is coming if you like ir or not . Don’t give the advantages … France and England wait to much last time … remember?

  12. “Irish controlled” is a bit of a stretch seeing as the Irish have no actual means of controlling their waters.
