Yep. Switzerland is neutral (and so were Sweden and Finland until recently) and they’re armed to teeth.
At the very least, we should have modern figher jets – not some rinky dink biplanes.
We can’t rely on a security guarantee from the UK or US, two absolute basketcase countries at the moment.
“It’s definitely not about profits” – the military industrial complex
I’m sure a career general has zero relationships with the arms industry.
Correct.
Defence spending needs increased from 0.3% to 1% at least.
Improve infrastructure within the DF.
Streamline the recruitment process to cope with applicants.
Modernise the armed forces.
And get rid of that bloody triple lock.
He’s certainly not wrong, we shouldn’t have to depend on the UK.
We’ve seen in the past 10 years how crazy a friendly country to Ireland can go and the UK could get even worse if Reform get into power. Farrage would be hostile to Ireland.
