Ireland IS getting nuclear weapons

    The UK's nuclear arsenal, is the UK's nuclear arsenal....it is not England's nuclear arsenal...it is not the English nuclear arsenal, it has been paid for by all the nations of the UK.

    In the event of a united Ireland....Ireland IS getting nuclear weapons, because Irish people have paid for these deterrents, and Ireland, being a small nation, with many historical enemies, has a historical need to deter....

    I'm trying to get the discussion going....because British agents will try incite an anti-nuclear weapon sentiment in Ireland...So, the Boris Johnsons, the Rees-Moggs, and the Nigel Farage's and their Irish sympathisers, will still have the whip hand over us.

    We are getting nuclear weapons

    Discuss!!

    Ukraine gave up their nukes and now look at the mess they're in. A united Ireland would need nukes to keep the 1ueen of England at bay.

    Yes....Indeed....that is exactly my point.

    If Ukraine had not been so foolish...Putin wouldn't have been so quick to invade if he thought the response would be "say hello to my little friend"

    I think we need to be realistic....

    I hope people aren't getting confused. I'm not saying we get the nuclear weapons and use them....I'm saying; we trust, but deter...try and rape me again, and I'll murder you in your bed....Only as a last resort would they be used, and since they'd be deterred from pushing it to the point of a last resort, they'd never be used....

    So if I'm reading this right - because Northern Ireland is part of the UK, which has nuclear weapons, in the even of a break-up of the UK and Ireland becoming united, the newly united Ireland would be entitled to Northern Ireland's portion of the UK's nuclear arsenal?

    Where exactly would we store these weapons, in a shed around the back of Áras an Uachtarain?

    And while I'm at it, who are the many historical enemies that Ireland has? I don't think the Vikings really count any more.

    Not at all, we'd also presumably be entitled to at least 1 nuclear submarine and we could use that to store the weapons, and of course, keep them hidden from the British at the same time.
    I wonder what else we could claim to be entitled to?...
    :rolleyes:

    A few of those helicopters

    And

    Some HMS...we can rename after Martin McGuiness


    And we're entitled to a lot of this stuff......A least a palace or two and some of those crown jewels....

    It's the Scottish getting shirty about Rockall, not the English....The Scottish have been thinking about their future...The English don't even realise they don't have one....

    To cover the cost of running the north, it would be easier to loan us London for a few years till we sort it out up there.

    And does this work both ways? Could we insist, for instance, that Great Britain is obliged to keep 97.1% of Sammy Wilson?

    I think we can concede ownership on that one :D

    Can always commandeer Micheal D's two gigantic dogs to serve as mobile rocket launchers.

    Let's put this another way


    There's a realistic possibility of Nigel Farage becoming UK prime minister
