Didn’t even do peace keeping in their own country back in the day but go elsewhere
good one lol
I see the troll farms found this one early. Ireland has a long and distinguished history of peace keeping.
The Irish government would 100% send troops as part of a peacekeeping force to Ukraine. What’s more in doubt is a negotiated end to the war anytime soon.
Better Donbas than Lebanon where our presence clearly did nothing to keep the peace
Should 18 year old Defence Forces soldiers be put in harm’s way when the conscription age in Ukraine is still 25?
Well seeing as nobody can agree on the size and mandate of the force it would seem premature
Great news.
I just hope the negotiations don’t preclude a robust deployment. Ideally there should be around 100,000 EU troops on the border. The US maintains 24,000 in South Korea which has a far shorter border.
Although I suspect the commitment will be far less. Ireland has a younger population than the EU average, so that would mean we’d need 1500 more soldiers to deploy. If the number ends up being 20,000, that’d be 300.
We should be focused on securing our part of the Atlantic with air and sea intercept capability. The RAF has been cat-and-mousing the Russians over our West coast since at least the 1980s (coinciding with mass UFO sightings). Our claim to sovereignty is undermined by our incapability of policing our air and waters. One properly resourced air base with modern fighters in Shannon and a linked naval base with 2-3 fast cruisers, 2-3 strategic RADAR monitoring sites and we’d never have to hear the „We protect you ingrates“ line ever again.
Not if Russia, who for some fucking reason get a say in if we can deploy our troops abroad, votes no on the UNSC.
