Estonia doesn’t have a single fighter jet – instead it has a formal military alliance with most of democratic Europe.
Perhaps we should consider something similar? Noting that we seem to expect the UK, France et al to protect us, yet we don’t reciprocate.

Just another attempt at trying to manufacture consent for massive, unnecessary military spending.
People seem to forget we beat a world superpower before.
We’re not going toe to toe with anyone, but if you fancy 800 years of a giant pain in the ass and eventual ass kicking, bring it!
Is this supposed to be something new? Lol
News today has a 1.7 billion budget going on defence. Should we just invest in automated drone defences? You can see the damage their capable of in Ukraine
Concern. Yes I think so. For thosevin scandernavia baltics etc have always feared russia. So been concerned is normal. Unless ireland joins NATO that will be how it is. We need US basis in Shannon etc. UK patrols etc like elsewhere in Europe. Otherwise is as now. So what do you think. Shannon for gas storage and a big arsed airforce and navy base for 50000. That is bigger than clare.
