[@LeavinMyTown]

The DUP & the rest of the Free Pres fucksticks almost certainly get some of their money from America. Just like rich Irish Americans were funding the ‘RA for years, there are churches in the Midwest that are financing these pricks. Driving through Antrim and Down you’ll see wood-panelled churches straight out of the Westboro Baptist style

@@LeavinMyTown I didn’t know about Americans helping find the ira! That’s interesting/gross. However I have read that former us representative Peter king (who was pretty powerful) was a supporter of them until the were vocally against the war in Iraq.

[@LeavinMyTown]

@@justinbowen2509 Apparently NOAID was one of the more notable contributors, and particularly a lot of funding came from Irish Americans in Boston, MA. (A lot of weapons for the IRA came from the US too, but that’s not really collusion & more that the US makes a lot of weaponry) There was never a direct link between the US government, particularly after 9/11 they clamped down on private funding. It came from private individuals. Apparently there are stories of whip-rounds in Boston Irish pubs to send to the IRA

@TheRenaissanceman65 No it doesn't. It's a treaty between two sovereign nations.

[@3506Dodge]

@TheRenaissanceman65 "matter" is not sovereignty. The U.K. retains full sovereignty over Northern Ireland. The U.K. can withdraw from that or any treaty with any other sovereign nation at any time.

[@3506Dodge]

@TheRenaissanceman65 No you didn't. That's where you've made your mistake. Sovereignty is the basis of all political legitimacy and authority. Without it there are no nations, much less democratic nations. The sovereignty of the Republic of Ireland and the U.K. is the basis of any agreements these countries make. The sovereignty is where the power is, not in an agreement between two sovereign nations. You and your wife don't become one person just because you marry. You retain your individual rights.

[@3506Dodge]

@TheRenaissanceman65 It's no more "solemn" than any other treaty the U.K. has agreed to...including the treaty joining the E.U. Irish politics are in Ireland and U.K. politics are in the U.K. Your delusions are your problem.
