Liam Cunningham afferma che il governo si sta “schierando con i waronger” mentre sostiene la campagna di neutralità irlandese

Giving a sole member of the UNSC or any other foreign assembly veto power over how to deploy our own troops is not neutrality. See Gardaí in Kyiv and maximum of 12 troops deployable to Sudan at short notice for details. Current plan to raise that to 50, hardly warmongers territory.

Relying on a foreign power to police your airspace is not neutrality. See Switzerland, Austria and formerly neutral countries like Sweden and Finland.

Frankly, not sure if he understands what he is campaigning for. Would genuinely love to hear his solutions to those shortcomings.

He said this at a People Before Profit event? When PBP vociferously opposed sanctions against Russia they were siding with the worst warmongers in the world today. I don’t disagree with him about Gaza one iota though.

Actors’ fame gives them a disproportionate representation, when in reality their political stance can be just as uninformed as anyone’s. It’s really not worth listening to.

“I do not want to see this country that I adore being sold down the swanny so the boys across the road here can have their jobs with whatever commission or whatever when they’re finally extricated from Government.”

It’s hard to disagree that some political actors and officials pushing for the end of neutrality and the military spending spree have effectively been bought and paid for with the promise/expectation of well-paid makey uppy jobs and roles.

No fear that they will ever be conscripted or sent to war.

I agree with Cunningham’s assertion that whatever is being determined for this countries military future, it needs to go to a referendum and be put black and white in the constitution.

On a final note I dislike people before profit. How they jump on every bandwagon and there are effectively a glorified students union type party but they are on the right side of this particular issue. Outside of Dublin their councillors and representatives can say very little because commonsense conflicts with central party policy.

I am surprised that the likes of Sinn Fein and other large opposition parties haven’t jumped all over this. It’s the type of thing that would paint them in a more favourable public light after all of the blunders of the past year.

Ireland isn’t neutral. Ireland just doesn’t want to face the consequences of its lack of neutrality.

If Ireland wants to be neutral it should look at how countries like Switzerland do it.

As a country we can’t go shouting our mouths off every week and expect others to defend us.

He wants to retain the triple lock but also accuses Ireland of siding with war mongers.
Doesn’t he realise the triple lock forces us to side with the likes of Russia or China or the US when it comes to making foreign policy decisions?
