I meant it at the time but reserve the right to flip flop and change position later
so we’ll be standing “militarily” with Iran, illegally attacked by Israel-USA?
basically chipping away at the status quo that Ireland is militarily neutral… normalising the rhetoric..
Well, we are sending non lethal military equipment to Ukraine, so yeah.
Sinn Fein are Ireland’s pro russia party.
You can just look at their MEP records abstaining from votes a month ago on Ukrainian funding or condemning the Iranian government.
No one agrees what our “neutrality” means.
MM’s position is consistent that it simply means we’re “not in NATO (or anything like that)”. (Edit: consistent in recent years only; he said the Triple Lock was at the “core” of our neutrality in 2013).
That’s not what “neutrality” means to a lot of people, but there’s never actually been an amendment/law/act that makes us “neutral”.
It’s always just been a nebulous description of how Ireland works on the world stage.
Sinn Fein are disgraceful on Ukraine
get the spud guns on the ready lads
She’s right, let NATO clean up its own mess.
We should have no involvement.
Haven’t we military being supporting the Lebanon for years?
We’ve also worked with the military in Kosovo and Mali.
Get him. “Some people get shocked [you overly emotional, neurotic,ill informed & ignorant little individual] but I don’t [see how calm and level headed I am gaslighting your valid and insightful, legitmate concern, you poor shocked woman]” Get. Him. And make them define it Explicitly.
Prick
The fishing boats are en route.
We have never been “neutral” about anything, and rightly so. Not part of any military alliances, yes, but neutral, no. I’m with MM on this.
His body language is atrocious. Folded under a miligram lf pressure.
I wonder, how long those neutrality pledges would stand if we got attacked?
Not good
US Military planes refuel in Shannon. We’re not remotely neutral.
When you aren’t strong enough to defend yourself you’re not neutral. Same way you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless. We’ve a mentality in Ireland that if the bombs fall they won’t fall on us because we’ve no real threats to anyone here. I’ve a feeling those data centers and the ports and airports might become targets anyway though when they’re being used for cyber warfare and to refuel American war planes. Switzerland is neutral. Irelands is docile.
Hardly a gotcha moment, it’s been well documented that we’ve supported Ukraine militarily…
So how much extra tax are you willing to pay for military equipment? Maybe your more the type to cut social benefits, school, housing etc. war is expensive.
You are just an economic zone of a financial empire fellas, and subservient to it. If they say jump you jump, if they say go to war you’ll go to war. Is that simple!
“Will all on board this Yankee station,
prepare themselves for battle stations”
Why dont the opposition get that our policy allows us to be flexible.
Shes playing a game of semantics and needs to move on.
