      Ireland don’t know about suppression of culture and language says the Estonian MEP speaking Estonian…..

      There’s a lot of bad to be said about the big Estonian neighbour but at least they didn’t force their language and culture upon the Estonians

      An embarrassing lack of knowledge about European history for the vice-President of the EU Commission to have. I don’t expect her to be an expert in Irish history, but I would expect someone of her position to do her due diligence and know what she’s talking about before she speaks

      I hope every MEP complains

      The EU are hellbent on getting us to join NATO or the EU army that will replace it. It’s a little bit like drinking the Kool-Aid in Waco!

      Seems like pure intentional ragebait. Her comments, I mean. But, to what end?

    6. The_Wee-Donkey on

      Oh, Kaja. It’s precisely because we know these things that we have taken such a position on neutrality.

      Kaja is complete right here becuase the key word she uses here is “modern day understanding”.

      Typical of Sinn fein to give putin an assist here.

      There are people alive in Europe today that have experienced an invasion and oppresion than no one in Ireland has ever experienced.

      Like Irish people believe that the colonisation of Ireland was the horric thing that ever happened even though its pales in comparasion to the level of brutality experienced by most nations in europe during world war 2.

      Going further i fine it very arrogant when Irish people say only they understand occupation and colonization and oppresion, i mean come on, many nations in Europe and around the world had far more worse experiences than Ireland did in the grand historical scheme of things.

      “If, you know, you surrender and you have the aggressor and you say okay take all that you want, it doesn’t mean that the human suffering will stop.

      “Our experience behind the Iron Curtain [the de facto border between East and West during the cold war], after the Second World War countries like Ireland got to build up their prosperity, but for us it meant atrocities, mass deportations, suppression of culture and language.

      “This is what happens. It is also peace, but it’s actually not freedom, freedom of choice for people, and that is what an EU is all about, and that is what we are fighting for.”

      I don’t think her comments were unreasonable. A lot of Irish people have this incessant need to point out our historical oppression, despite us being independent for the last century and a quite wealthy 1st world nation for the last 30 years, as if it gives us some extra authority on more current geopolitical events.

      The reality is that no Irish person, at least certainly in the Republic, really knows oppression by another power like many in Eastern Europe do.

      FACEPALM FOR MS. KALLAS 

      This is the anger that will be shown to us and spoken to Government ministers when they go to Europe for talks about NATO, so much anger that any once of rational thinking disappears in the mist.
