Geography on the other hand…
Why would it? In ireland case it’s the distance.
Ireland is neutral, that’s their thing, can hardly blame them considering england’s bullshit over the centuries.
Is Russia sponsoring fascists in Ireland like elsewhere? Because that would be a call to respond.
Why would Russia conquer Europe when they can expand their cities in the east where the future center of the world will be?

This war is distracting Europe from the even bigger danger that major innovations will happen there and Europe will have to follow.
Once Asia has the same level of education, the 500 million Europeans will become much less relevant.
This reads “please start spending tax haven money towards the common interest”
Can she also please tell that to Austria?
Hey don’t worry. Here the Nazi party that won general elections has direct ties to Putin. They like sucking that dick while blaming immigrants for everything, including the weather/climate change.
Die schieß Kanaken verstecken Hochdruckgebiete in ihrem Keller und lassen sie dann im Sommer raus.
The irony is that the german nazis (AfD) is also heavily helped by austrians and grew thanks to austrians Nazis.
Austrians once again being off the hook for nazis in germany xd
once again
Hitler was a fully integrated German. Being stupid was up to us, and is up to us again. No matter how much Austrians or others support fascists, it is possible to say no, and we have to, because there is nobody who does it for us.
There isnt much “integration” needed for austrians in germany. XD austrians are as germans as bavarians
Damn immigrants bringing their hot weather up here, makes me so angry.
In the US, that’s how they do, you know—just drive around listening to raps and shooting all the jobs.
What is she actually trying to say?
Ireland isn’t a neutral country, it’s a EU member state and the EU has a common defense agreement.
The article also mentions Ireland is stepping up defense spending and makes maritime defense a priority during its EU presidency.
So why does Kallas (who is not representing NATO but the EU) call Ireland out for not being a NATO member?Ireland isn’t a neutral country
It is yeah. I’m not necessarily a fan of it myself but that’s where we are. We have a defence force, not an army. We have never been involved in a war (directly) though we do take sides, Ukraine being an example where we delivered non lethal aid for the first time in our history.
it’s a EU member state and the EU has a common defense agreement.
The wording in that clause is partly to accommodate our neutrality.
So why does Kallas (who is not representing NATO but the EU) call Ireland out for not being a NATO member?
I didn’t see that anywhere. Our defence spending has been tiny compared to other nations and with hybrid attacks on the rise across Europe we can’t afford to rely on our larger neighbours any more, especially with many transatlantic internet cables coming aground in Ireland.
Since when Ireland is part of common defence agreement?
Ireland opt out of it due to their neutrality

Oh no the psychotic colonial extractive imperialists might invade us!
