      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?

    3. donmarrua on

      basically chipping away at the status quo that Ireland is militarily neutral… normalising the rhetoric..

    4. Nearby_Potato4001 on

      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.

      Haven’t we military being supporting the Lebanon for years?

      We’ve also worked with the military in Kosovo and Mali.

      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 of pressure.

      I wonder, how long those neutrality pledges would stand if we got attacked?

    13. Garibon on

      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.

      Why dont the opposition get that our policy allows us to be flexible.

      Shes playing a game of semantics and needs to move on.

      The EU is arming up, it’s strategically better not to have a resource like Ireland being neutral, we’ll likely see more and more of these language changes over the next few years.

      Don’t worry though, RTE will find a way to blame Donald Trump so we can all feel good about it 🙂

      Look lads. The world is going to shite. We can’t sit on a fence when our mates are being shat on and then expect to have an equal and fair say around the economic table. Time to realise that things are changing and we may not necessarily like it.

    19. thetearinreality on

      People in thus country need to grow up and realise in these days we cannot afford to be ’neutral‘.

    20. Galacticmetrics on

      While Ireland upholds military neutrality and lacks full independent defense capacity, its strategic location amid NATO members (notably the UK) ensures that aggression against it would endanger allied interests, likely drawing a protective response.

    21. The-Last-Unicron on

      Sinn Feins general attitude towards Ukraine is appalling and I laugh when they try to take the moral high ground wherever the question of „military neutrality“ is raised.

    22. sweetsuffrinjasus on

      Just as long as they don’t need any help on a weekend Armagh are playing, we can assist.

    23. Simple-Pudding7281 on

      Ah, just say he should have used other words and move on.
      Agree to disagree and lets all head for the bar

    24. Reasonable-Spinach88 on

      We clearly have never been neutral with regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As it should be.
