“Europe can no longer sit back… but we will.”
Seán has some neck sharing an opinion like that
The whole of Europe should be producing drones for Ukraine.
Remember when the government lambasted Higgins for being outspoken…. Then we have some random Irish general going in opposition to what our constitution says
Stand back lads, I’m coming through.
Yep. He’s correct
And what does Ireland recommend doing?
Because I think the deterioration of this serious discussion will come from people who believe in the THEORY of neutrality while we PRACTICALLY had Cork Shannon Airport as a base for war, from Iraq war days till today… Not even talking about Israel…

Wonder if the most recent negotiations will amount to anything https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly1ypqlle0o
Europe needs to find its balls
I’m so proud of him. It took him less than four years to realise it.
It’s clear in this thread who’s actually read the article and who is just jumping on the headline. Clancy’s comments are sound and measured. To disagree with him is doing the geopolitical equivalent of sticking your head in the sand.
We can’t remain defenceless as a country and we can’t remain defenceless as a union. It’s an increasingly tumultuous global age and we need to be able to protect ourselves. Learning from what’s happening in Ukraine is a vital part of that.
Away you go then big man, go sort it out
