How can we integrate Unionism into a possible United Ireland?

Believe me I would. And if roi wanted to create a ‘new Ireland’ in which unionists could feel comfortable then it would be essential that the neutrality position would go. Hopefully it will go as this conflict get more difficult, although the managed to maintain it as the rest of Europe took on hitler.

we are glad to be Europeans in the Uk.

Gotta point out that "the rest of Europe" did not take on Hitler; quite a lot of European countries togged out with Hitler.

Which raises an important point. A willingness to resort to violence is neither inherently virtuous, nor a guarantee of virtue. If Ireland were to abandon neutrality, there is no reason to assume that it would always be a combatant on the side of the angels. (Any more than the UK is always a combatant on the side of the angels. The UK's participation in the invasion of Iraq, for example, was far, far more shameful than any manifestation of Irish neutrality ever was.)

The question was how can unionists be integrated into a Ui.

I am just saying that any unionists I know would be horrified to be living in a country that would remain neutral either in a war with hitler or putin. That’s all. I am not saying it’s right or wrong - just embarrassing

Yeah that’s what makes us quite different culturally. ‘I’m alright jack‘ is seen as negative in unionist community.

There is no one heading for the front lines at this stage. We are supplying those on the front lines with military equipment to protect their families and land as best the can Had they not received this Puntin would be marching towards the Polish border.

It would be great if roi would drop the neutrality and join with the vast majority of Europeans.

it’s not about blue and yellow flags. It’s about playing their part in the defence of their neighbours. NATO is by no means perfect but if we didn’t have it putin would not stop at Ukraine.

…..and it’s not just nato membership. Most European’s governments are sending weapons into Ukraine to help them defend their country and families.

if every country followed the route taken by roi, putin would have already taken Ukraine and would be marching into Poland.

just saying that I don’t think unionists would be at all comfortable with a neutrality stance in a Ui. A huge amount of our culture and identity is tied up in military and particularly the world wars - as with Uk as a whole. I do believe this is somewhat culturally different from roi - even if francie claims it is not.

I think there may be something in Irish culture about internal wars and Chieftain squabbles, but Uk is more connected to world conflicts. That’s just an observation but from where I am looking the difference seems stark
