    If ireland was cut off and attacked by another large army

    Is that because it'd take an invading army 3 days to reach the middle from the coast of Ireland due to sh1te roads?

    14th anniversary of 9/11 today, do you remember what you were at when the planes crashed? We were moving cattle and it came on the radio in the jeep

    Was in first year.....heard it on the bus home. Mum was crying when I walked in the door. Her cousin worked in one of the towers. I'm not sure of the exact floor but it was about ten floors under the first plane.

    Every country has it calculated. How long would England last in the same conditions?

    Iceland has no army and Greenland is part of Denmark.

    Most countries defence relies on allies. As we would reply on the bits or yanks coming to our aid

    Ireland had the most advanced weapons factory in the world back at the start of the 1900s but when the bits handed the country back it was a condition that it had to be completely destroyed
