Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

unfortunately it will never happen, much more likely future is some Irish troops get killed by the Zionists and our government rolls over while it gets swept under the rug. it's 100% happened before multiple times with UN troops in the last few decades. while Irish people are largely good on the issue our neolib govt are simply compradors to empire when push comes to shove. we haven't even expelled the ambassador yet lol
Totally, but it would be based if that happened. Haha
in the early 60s, when the Congo attempted independence from western colonial powers, a private military force of Belgian and British funded mercenaries attempted to decapitate the independent government and launched a coup. the government plead for help from the UN, and Irish peacekeepers were sent. ultimately, the Irish peacekeepers were overwhelmed and taken prisoner and the entire event was memory holed by the west. there's a movie about it. it's fucking nuts.
