Tell them they are still wrong and that the customs union & single market is the only way going forward.

Knock down a Lidl.

Pac1Man

Point them towards the Repeal thread and show them this is what they are inheriting. They'd quickly fook off.

TheValeyard

Few cans. Fight back.

Mr_Man2121

Like how Isis did?

Round up their citizens in our country and incarcerate them. Then, depending on levels of escalation, use them as political pawns. Try to get irish citizens out of dcoutbries allied to the country which declared war on us.

Doltanian

Join in with them, it could not possibly get any worse than the Marxism we are currently exposed to.

wexie

I'd imagine it would largely depend on what random country that was.

Russia or China....oh **** let's stock up on beans, pasta and toiletpaper.

Belgium.....meh <shrug>

Laugh loads................nearly as much as I'm laughing right now at this thread and how ridiculous it is.

Probably check the calendar to be sure that it isn't April 1st.

Let them win. But eventually move there, take their jobs and women, and just sort of grind them down until their stuck with an awful mess no one in their right minds would ever take back. Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Grab a paddy cap

March all the kids from my estate towards the GPO

Wait patiently until the right time I can use the following phrase






























I’ll make a ****ing army out of yee if it’s the last thing I do !

Hitler failed as the troops got lost.

Out here on the island? Not a thing. "we will fight them on the beaches..." Hard to land and nothing worth fighting for.. or bombing...

Mr.Crinklewood

Apparently we were at war as late as 1996.Well worth a Google


"The Turbot War (known in Spain as "Guerra del Fletán") was an international fishing dispute between Canada (supported by the United Kingdom and Ireland) and Spain (supported by the European Union and Iceland) in which Canada stopped a Spanish fishing trawler from Galicia in international waters and arrested its crew. Canada claimed that European Union factory ships were illegally overfishing Greenland halibut, also known as Greenland turbot, on the Grand Banks, just outside Canada's declared 200-nautical-mile (370 km) exclusive economic zone (EEZ)."

I would send a strongly worded telegram to the League of Nations in Geneva

Bob Harris

The good ol US of A would react for us.
Unless it was Saudi Arabia.

Arghus

I'd be like, "what?"

StupidLikeAFox

Stick on a Wolfe tones cd, but sing different words accordingly

"Oh come out you North Koreans" etc etc

Panthro

At first I'd be like "Oh no! Not Liechtenstein!"
Then I'd be all "Hah, fackin Liechtenstein what are yez like. Yer bleeding tiny."
Then I'd be ok I reckon.

Zaph

I'd order the immediate closure of all Irish pubs in that country. That would show them we mean business!

This sounds like a plan.

As the enemy masses for invasion we should send all our troops out on oil rigs and see if we can find the oil Tony O’Reilly keeps discovering off the south coast and then losing again.

If we had oil Uncle Sam would be straight in to rescue the ould sod. ( not just Michael D, all of us!).

Probably leave the country. I'm not dying against some made up entity for the sake of another.

Sin City

who would ever want to invade us
Unless Norn Ireland want to expand their empire

K.Flyer

Sent them a message to hold off for a bit while the government sets up a group to discuss the potential threat, which may eventually lead to a referendum vote depending on just how outraged and triggered some people's reactions have been, but, depending on the outcome of the vote, we may have to vote again if the first outcome was the wrong one, whilst all the time we will need to be taking advice from the E.U. on how much we could spend on defending ourselves...
Hopefully by the time we would have gotten through all of that, they would have lost interest.

I'll stick the kettle on

Seems like perfect time to clean house by shooting all our politicians. It doesn't really matter who invades Ireland.

Modern terrorism/warfare has shown that holding territory long term is incredibly difficult and expensive. Any invaders will just leave after a bit. So, take the opportunity and shoot the politicians... we can find new heroes.

The republic of Ireland isn’t made up.

Personally I think citizenship demands some sacrifice. If your country is under existential threat, you should defend it.
