Éire (Republic of Ireland)

Post by SKB »

Seems the people of Ireland have actually elected Sinn Féin, the political wing of the IRA into government.

This from a country whose former Taoiseach, Éamon de Valera signed the book of condolence on Adolf Hitler's death on 2 May 1945, the only country to do so.

What's her position about heavily armed, well prepared and overmanned armies?
Oh, noone's ever heard of Fortune favoring them, sir.
According to General Tacticus, it's because they favor themselves…
