The Kremlin aims to sow divisions to make countries difficult to govern.
1. No party is proposing that Ireland joins a military alliance.
2. Ireland was never been politically neutral and neither is any other country (and that goes for parties like PB4P and SF too).

I have been making this point for some time. It is totally deluded to think the US provides any kind of security for Europe. In fact the US is now a threat to Europe at least in an economic sense and possibly in a military one too - Greenland!

The pace of improvement required to ensure that the State is adequately protected needs to accelerate significantly. Will the new Minister deliver what is required?. I have my doubts.

Excellent piece by Senator McDowell in todays @IrishTimes regarding the Defence Forces.
Decades of neglect and government indifference have left the Defence Forces unable to fulfil their primary role, defence of the State.

Once again, 🇮🇪 lack of investment in defence and security has repercussions and assistance will be required from our 🇪🇺 partners.
When decades of neglect and indifference is your defence policy of choice, expect no less.

Stephen Collins writing in todays @IrishTimes regarding neutrality, defence, and the triple lock.
By investing in our Defence Forces and by working with others, we can ensure that the State is adequately protected. Currently, we are defenceless.

With a 3,000 km range and 1.15 tonne warhead, the Flamingo is among the world's largest and longest-range ground-launched cruise missile systems. Despite this, it is designed as a low-cost solution, incorporating commercial off-the-shelf and repurposed components. www.iiss.org/online-analy...
