Ireland examines neutrality stance after Ukraine war: minister

Nato is a mistake

If we are entering a new age of empires where larger countries swallow up smaller ones, then it only makes sense for smaller countries to enter into alliances with others.

Awa - I was actually suggesting that Ireland join the CSTO in case the US decides that they wanted to claim Ireland for the millions upon millions of Americans with Irish ancestry. Russia and China aren’t the only ones who can take a Sharpie to the world map.

In an article on Irish neutrality, I was astonished to find that the most controversial aspect to it was not mentioned once: Irish neutrality in the Second World War. And in the First World War, Irish nationalists received military aid from Germany.

"Public opinion is not in favor of Ireland joining military alliances

Ukraine was not a member of any military alliance either. Look what happened.

The Irish are amongst the most charitable people in the world, and with their history they no doubt sympathize with the plight of the Ukranians.

Russia invading Ukraine, totally against the U.N. charter, against the basic principles of territorial integrity, put the Irish people very firmly, instinctively on the side of right there,"

Simply put. You're either on the side of right, or wrong.
