just dont let the Brits be involved, the people who turn into de valera when the RAF patrolling our airspace comes up might actually have a heart attack if they find out that british navy would be protecting our waters too
Ah lads. It’s gonna be much easier to list the things we can protect. I’ll start… A landlord’s right to gouge.
Is Mr Nimbus at it again?
What a load of muck, of course we could take care of our own waters if we had a decent size navy and air corps, this is just more of trying to nudge us into NATO
don’t need to be an expert for that, what do we have like 10 ships😂
I am guessing that there will be more articles like this in the coming months. There is a determination amongst certain members of the government and their lobbyists to get us to join NATO or an EU equivalent.
Even if we spent 100% of our GDP on the military for the next decade, any potential army or force we could amass would be laughable in comparison to our neighbours. And the countries that are most likely to invade us by land are not Russia or China, it’s the UK, the US or France, perhaps in a situation where we are not playing ball with access to the docks or Shannon et cetera.
Like I have said before, I am all for spending more on the military but for our benefit not for the European Union’s. I am sure one of the strings that will be attached to joining any military alignment group would be the introduction of a conscription system of some form. Irish people could end up fighting and dying thousands of miles away against their will in words that are not their own.
But joining such a group will be offered by politicians as being the only solution.
In my subjective opinion the whole thing is abhorrent.
As to the accuracy of the claims in the article, no we cannot police a significant part of Atlantic. The country most likely to damage the infrastructure there (fibreoptics and communication cables) is Russia. I would suggest not pissing them off and just staying out of international campaigns against them as much as possible.
There is something I never understood, people were talking about the damage that could be done to cables et cetera. Why would Russia have to damage cables in our waters, could they not drop an anchor on them and pull them in international waters in the middle of the Atlantic?
Didn’t the 2nd last Artificer retire last month?
Ok? We weren’t really ever going to protect it.
The expert essentially works for a war think tank and specialises on the topic of war.
Don’t need to keep telling us. We’ll build a military in ten minutes when the match is over. No I can’t pause it. It’s online.
