These are new times we are living in. Oil will increase in price as will food, China and India will become more assertive. Things are running out. I am not talking about stealing for luxury here.
So you want to attack other countries - just like the Nazis and the British?
Having a nice reputation as a neutral country is all well and fine but you can't eat neutrality or use it to power your car.
Having been against the wars in the Middle East i can now see why they make sense, the oil producing nations have to be owned or they will hold the rest of us by the short and curlies. Their product is simply too important to be left up to their leaders (to decide whether it stays in the ground or not or to whom it should be sold). I think the West should look into gaining control of OPEC as well.

You can dream - it isn't going to happen. It'd be Iraq times 10
Maybe a third of the British Army at the Battle of Waterloo was Irish in line with Ireland's share of the UK's population then,and maybe a higher percentage of the cavalry.Why?
'cause they don't all join the local units of the RIRA instead?
The British Empire was built in part on the backs of Irish soldiers, who represented a large chunk of the British armed forces in the 19th century...
And they weren't forced, far from it.
While their choice isn't exactly ethical (British army are terrorists as pointed out), you can't say "strip the soldiers of their citizenship"...
The Duke of Wellington,from Dublin, and Commander of the allies,was reviewing the troops before the battle and, maybe when he saw the Irish,he remarked humorously, "They may not frighten the enemy,but by God they frighten me!"

Sure and weren't they the great men - you'd think they'd allow them to practise their religopn, own land and vote. They were only there because they had nothing else.
The greatest indictment against Irish in the British army occurred around the mid 1840's. Imagine - thousands of Irishmen in the uniform of the forces who were cheering on the horrible death by starvation of over a million of their own most vulnerable people.
What's that, cooking oil?we are an oil rich nation , if we took back our own from the foreigners we wouldnt need to worryPlease explain.
just whats needed an FCA man walter mitty type to join in. what glorious duty have you carried out recently besides drilling around mullingar bks on a weekday night. i would think your completely unqualified to talk about a real army so go back to doin g guards in kilbride or the glen of imaal or playing with your world war 2 vintage 25 poundersno doubt the west brits are sending their sons and daughters to afghanistan and iraq to die gloriously for the mother country
ya, right
rule britannia :P
in your ignorance you described me as an fca man;
i am not an fca man;
you pretend to have in-depth knowledge of irish military affairs yet you don't know that the fca no longer exists
similarly, you know nothing at all about me;
i, on the other hand, know a few things about you:
almost all of your posts are either offensive or insulting;
you bluff knowledge of current military matters, eg the gun you refer to is out of service;
contrary to what your name suggests, you are anything but a saint;
you come across as a bitter person;
now, what does all of that say about you? :P
not all saints were happy shiny people fca man, some were bitter from reading rubbish written by people like you.
as for pretending to have knowledge of currrent irish military affairs i cant say that i have ever said anything of the sort.
however the reason i responded to your post is that i think the term 'west brit' is the cheapest slur thrown by brave pub republicans all around this country.
however its also usually more accurate than a guided missile

if that were true theyd be down in rossport shooting the guards
the military force theyve joined bombed dublin on numerous occasions causing horrific casualties and may well do it again . It imported major weapons shipments for terrorist organisations in this country and used them as proxies against the civilian population north and south . Anyone joining this outfit may well be recruited and used in a terrorist capacity against the Irish people and on that basis should not only be shunned but also named and shamed as a mercenary and a potential subversive danger to public safety .
There is no firm evidence for any of your claims.
But there is evidence the Irish govt in the early days aided and trained the PIRA.
