“How does Britain find itself a heartbeat away from verstehen und sprechen sie deutch and can’t get its Irish neighbor to help?”
Ireland didn’t just not help, they helped the Germans by refusing to black out. They remembered that in 1916 the guns for their symbolic uprising came from U-boats, and always (for obvious reasons) regarded Britain as a worse enemy than Germany).
Yep. All those concentration camps and extermination centres in Belfast. All the Jews being tortured, deported and robbed in Londonderry. Yep...Britain is way way worse than Nazi Germany. It all makes sense to Irish nationalists. They fixate so much on their supposed wrongs and they can happily ignore everything else going wrong in the world. They are so oppressed. Poor babies.
