Four more Russian vessels observed off Irish coast Tags:ireland 22 comments They’re messing with the undersea cables. Those are our gold mines, our oil fields. And we’re doing nothing to protect them. Wonder how far away British submarines were? Well…. This is fucking terrifying The Vatniks are at it again. Deploy the fishing boats and fishermen with bags of prawns. Ukrainian are welcome, but not Russia? Das rayciss Invasion immanent. I knew the whiskey bullshit would be the death of us!  Claire Daly and Mick Wallace better tell their mate to fuck off. Pity Ireland doesn’t even have enough crew to man their two (or so) navy boats. Its shameful the state our naval service is in as an island nation. Waiting for the “BuT wErE a NeUtRaL cOuNtry” crowd to tell us why we don’t need to fund our military. So lets say the worst happens: They cut some cables.^(and decide to do it at the 1/20th of the cable in our waters.) Then a ship pulls the cables up, repairs them, then lowers them back down again – less than a day per cable. Big deal? Should I buy a gun to shoot the kids doing knick-knacks? I thought Russia didn’t have much of an operable navy? Defence Forces … not in a million years mate. Just called them the Irish Monitoring the Situation Forces, that’s what they are anyways. How’s that neutrality thing working out? These ships have always passed up and down the west coast. Only now its suddenly a big deal. Russians have likely mined many of the undersea cables in the north atlantic including internet, gas, oil and electricity. Theyve been at this in ernest the last 5 or 6 years. Unless we had conscription there’s no reason to have a large navy , army or airforce , best to rely on allies sure Ukraine is a case in point Should the be refueling in the eez. Give them enough time and they’ll sink by themselves. The Russian navy ain’t the May West. Ireland is quite lovely this time of year Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
