‘Yeah well we were conquered a millennia ago, so actually you’re not allowed to complain about what is still ongoing to you‘ is the dumbest Brit cope I’ve run into. Implying they should be grateful for it is why Brits are still reviled.
How on earth have you read defensiveness into a 2 word comment. What shit has anyone started?
Commenter above was pointing out that most Brit hate in Ireland is of the fist shaking “hate the Brits on principal” rather than an active aggression and that Ireland trusts the UK to the point the UK in effect provides the maritime and air defence of Ireland.
Meanwhile you pop up with edgelord commentary apparently solely for the purpose of causing drama.
Mostly I see Americans who think they understand what’s going on with some romanticised idea of what NI is. They also seem to think the troubles was some kind of border dispute between nations.
The Irish Defence Forces is mainly tailored for internal security against paramilitary organisations like IRA groups or loyalist groups like the UVF. Thats what its for.
Ireland is not concerned about the threats facing NATO countries. And there is no credible threat of invasion from anywhere.
There are no good guys. Everyone has conquered or been conquered.
The Irish just like to shake their fists at us while we provide them with their national defence

It only ongoing in your head. Professional victim .
Dare you to go to an Irish bar and try saying that shit, lol
Whereas if you went into a British pub saying your crap, people would just laugh at you lol
I think most pubs in Ireland would have much the same reaction. A hardcore republican bar in the north might raise a ruckus.
One of us knows we can only say this shit online and it’s not me :)
Said what? That the Irish live to hate us but not so much that they’d actually pay for their own defence?
I’d say that to my Irish grandparents you tool
And they aren’t fucking embarrassed by you?
No, they’re embarrassed by all the Brit hating morons.
Lol, drama much?
Don’t start shit if you can’t take shit 🤷♂️ Nobody asked you to come in here and make up some story about why Irish occupation is Good, Actually.
E: just realized this was a drive by comment and not the person I originally replied to, which makes the defensiveness even more bizarre.

Who the fuck is even trying to attack Ireland except the Brits?? Weird ass imperialist cope.
Sigh. You don’t find Brits attacking the Irish online. It’s all Irish cosplaying as revolutionaries from shit that happend 50 years ago
The Brits really don’t give a shit about Northern Ireland, you are welcome to it.
Mostly I see Americans who think they understand what’s going on with some romanticised idea of what NI is. They also seem to think the troubles was some kind of border dispute between nations.
The Brits in Northern Ireland disagree.
It’s not part of Britain.
So, within living memory? And you’re mad people didn’t just… move on and pretend it didn’t happen? Weird shit.
We’ve had a peace deal in place since 1998 FFS.
Defence against what? Britians enemies?
Defend your own western flank. Its your problem, not ours.
I suggest you ask them

I see NATO assests being deployed to protect NATO leaders against threats from NATO enemies.
So whats your point? The UK is doing this in its own interest, not in Ireland’s interest.
Because Ireland can’t defend itself.
From who?
Anyone

There is only no credible threat because the British provide defence…
