I just realized how weak Ireland is as a country.

Freemasonry

Say for example we got into war with lets say Russia or Germany. We'd be wiped off the map faster then we could say "peace".

It's a shame, for a country that talks a lot of tough talk we are so helpless and weak.

And that's why were neutral

Seeing as Russia has about 60 or 70 times the population what do you expect?

But everyone loves us, shure we're Oirish, begorrah and begosh.

What kind of tough talk do we talk?

I can't remember the last time an Irish politician who was actually in power made a stand on issue that was in any way controversial. Nearest we come to was the landmine treaty, but that was more a case of gentle cajoling and guilt tripping rather than fire and brimstone demanding.

Those countries are bigger than us though, so if they try to take our lunch money we'll tell a teacher/America

It's not about population. It's simply because they have **** we could not even pronounce correctly. By that I mean, weapons and technology.

You've just realised this? Cripes!

Only country to drive out the Brits!!!!!!!! Its just our size. 4 million v 200 million plus. We ARE hard ba$tards though:eek:

I'm greatful that the only 'hatred' towards us is that we're always drunk.

And I'd take that as a compliment.

Its not really a shame at all. We dont really talk tough at all. Our military operations are only almost all peacekeeping, apart from the few people we have in Afghanistan

How did I forget? They have so much effing loads of oil.

We got some too though. We got booze, that might help?

You do realise we have a population of just over 4.4million people. Germany's population is 82,000,000 and Russia's 141,800,000.

For a country who has been exploited and damaged by Britain for hundreds of years, Ireland is doing mighty and has recovered very well.

Also, you might want to back up your post with a valid argument if you're trying to make a point.

Is this why you want to bring your old man here, OP? Increase the numbers for our resistance forces when the invasion begins?

Well no, just a holiday. I was simply pointing out that we don't have much hope if Eire found a goldmine of oil - it be gone in a matter of weeks.

Well considering we weren't touched by two world wars but by 1960 still found ourselves poorer than Germany which had been completely destroyed and partitioned 15 years previous, I don't think we did THAT well!

We all know what the Germans did with the underclasses. Don't go there.

Also, you'd need some severe provocation for Germany to get involved in an all-out war.

Well in fairness, goldmines tend not to be large compared to say, an oilfield, so he does have a point. If there was a goldmines of oil, it would be gone quite quickly.

Stands to reason - you need some soakage.

Plus if we are going to war with anyone, it's going to be those Vatican City fcukers.

And those bastards don't stand a chance.

Completely unaffected by the World Wars?!?!? You don't know your Irish history very well. Bombings in Dublin in 1941? Many Irish soldiers went off to serve in the army in the wars too.

Don't post baseless 'facts'.

Marshall plan? For fear of the commies getting a foothold the yanks poured billions into propping up German industry and infrastucture. That may have helped them along not to mention their vast natural resources.
