Put it to the people @HMcEntee! THE Minister for Defence has defended the proposed change to the Triple Lock after she was criticised by Michael D Higgins. Former President Higgins was highly critical of the Government's proposal to scrap the requirement for a UN mandate to deploy troops, and claimed Ireland is moving towards military alliances. Asked about his comments Helen McEntee said there is a lot of rhetoric' about plans to change the Triple Lock, but that it will always be 'Ireland's choice' to deploy troops: #SaveTripleLock #Neutrality

Irish Government begins dismantling UN linked Triple Lock so they can send Irish troops on an EU Mission to help Israel take control of Southern Lebanon, all part of the Greater Israel Zionist Project that wants all of Palestine too. Whatever happened to Ireland's Neutrality...?

'Alarmism'. We're talking about a situation where Israel has occupied Southern Lebanon, displacing over 1 million people, destroying entire villages. This mission, with no UN mandate, is to 'stabilise' Lebanon, led by an EU that has sided w/ Israel throughout the genocide.
There’s a lot of alarmism about this planned Lebanon mission. I have not yet formed a view about it, but here is a summary of the military side of the mission which is still at the planning stage. “The military pillar will provide advisory support and training to strengthen the capabilities of the Lebanese Armed Forces, for border security andmaritime security, including in land border surveillance and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, counter-smuggling and operational coordination.” That doesn’t sound too alarming but I’ll reserve judgement.

The man who dismisses Michael D Higgins’s claims of dishonesty over triple lock Who is Thomas Byrne ? High Mileage Club 5: Fianna Fáil junior minister Thomas Byrne says 1,800-kilometre mileage claim is correct, won’t explain why diary doesn’t match up Fianna Fáil junior minister Thomas Byrne has insisted one of his mileage claims is correct – despite his diary only accounting for a fraction of what he claimed. Minister Thomas Byrne once threatened a local radio station with the lawyers to get them to remove a story from their website.

The UN is NOT "a grouping of states." It is a universal forum for global diplomacy and conflict prevention established by the UN Charter after World War 2, 'to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war' by working to maintain international peace through the peaceful resolution of disputes between states. It is *the* source of international legitimacy for peacekeeping operations. A UNSC mandate means a peacekeeping mission conforms to the fullest extent possible with international law and is not being pursued over the objections of a superpower. A neutral country that wishes to remain neutral and avoid getting drawn into superpower rivalries should restrict itself to UN-mandated peacekeeping missions. The EU is a regional bloc of states, attempting to assert itself as a geopolitical actor with strategic interests, increasingly by force projection. It isn't remotely the same thing as the UN. Increasingly, the EU's military missions are explicitly perceived as part of the EU's conflict with a superpower. A MINIMUM test for ensuring an EU military mission is compatible with Ireland's neutrality is by requiring that it also enjoys a UN mandate before deploying to it. If it has no UN mandate, there is an unacceptable risk it is likely to make Ireland party to a conflict between superpowers, i.e. not neutral. A neutral country has no place becoming involved in such a mission. The fact that the government has already announced its plans to involve Ireland in TWO such missions after the Triple Lock is abolished (EUNAVFOR Irini and EUSM Lebanon) is all the proof we need that FFG in government cannot under any circumstances be trusted to maintain our neutrality, and must be compelled to do so by force of law. The Triple Lock must remain in place.
Some people seem to think that a mandate for a mission that comes from the UN is inherently superior to one devised by the members of the European Union. That is not the case. The UN does not possess any unworldly wisdom. It is a grouping of states just like the EU. We should examine UN & EU mandates with the same rigour and work out what works best for us. We will have a bigger say in any EU mandated mission.

If we don't stop them, they're gonna send Irish kids to be slaughtered in a new Lebanese civil war created by Zionists.
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Helen McEntee. rte.ie/news/2026/1025/159679…

The EU doesn't do Peacekeeping Missions, it supports Wars, it supports Israel. Ireland would be joining a War to help Israel ethnically cleanse Southern Lebanon. This is the most pathetic Irish Government in history...
Straight away into a military mission, in a civil war in Lebanon This will ultimately assist Israel in its attempt to ethnically cleanse of Southern Lebanon

El 25 de octubre de 1922, acababa la agresión imperialista contra la Rusia bolchevique, con la entrada del Ejército Rojo en Vladivostok, aplastando a los últimos remanentes del Ejército Blanco y las fuerzas imperialistas de 17 países capitalistas. Seguro que lo leíste en sus libros de historia occidentales, pero solo un año después de la Revolución Bolchevique, EEUU, Reino Unido, Francia, Checoslovaquia, Grecia, Rumania, Alemania, Austria-Hungría, Italia, Canadá, Turquía, Polonia, Serbia, Finlandia, Australia, China y Japón invadieron Rusia... pretendían acabar con la revolución obrera y devolver el poder a la burguesía zarista, en lo que se llamó como "Intervención Aliada" para restaurar el orden capitalista. 17 ejércitos con llegaron a tener a 1 millón de soldados invadiendo Rusia, en apoyo a la oligarquía capitalista y su ejército zarista, el cual también fue armado por todo Occidente... a esta flagrante agresión imperial de Occidente en Rusia lo llamaron "guerra civil" y murieron al menos 7 millones de rusos, hicieron todo lo posible para aplastar la revolución bolchevique que era un peligro para el capital mundial. El Ejército Blanco armado y financiado por Occidente, además empleó la brutalidad más infame, en los Urales, más de 100.000 campesinos fueron exterminados en campos de concentración por el Ejercito Blanco por el "delito" de apoyar a los bolcheviques, exterminó a 150.000 judíos en el sur de Rusia (pogromos que más tarde imitarían los nazis) e hicieron limpiezas étnicas de más de 300.000 indígenas... metían a los sospechosos de ser bolcheviques en las calderas de sus trenes blindados para que se quemaran vivos. La Rusia que quedó después de la cruenta agresión imperialista mal llamada "guerra civil", fue una de las naciones más pobres del mundo, sumida en el hambre y en las enfermedades... murieron al menos 3 millones de personas de hambruna y otras 2 millones de enfermedades como el tifus, la gripe o el cólera... en solo 40 años, esa misma Rusia devastada y con una guerra mundial por medio, seria una potencia mundial equipada con bomba atómica gracias al socialismo. No somos conscientes del sacrificio del pueblo ruso para defender su revolución, primero tuvieron que luchar contra 17 países capitalistas, más muchos otros que apoyaron indirectamente la invasión económicamente y con armamento.... pero no contentos con eso, unas décadas más tarde, Occidente le financió a Hitler para acabar con la URSS y le montaron una guerra mundial que costó la vida a 27 millones de soviéticos.... y ni así, tampoco pudieron tumbar la revolución, es el ejercicio de resistencia mayor de un pueblo que ha conocido el mundo.

If you listen to media commentators they'll tell you the Russians are a threat to our undersea infrastructure. Meanwhile in the real world: 1. A Ukrainian (CIA linked) blew up EU energy security 2. The Brits are spying on our communications Facts don't fit the narrative.

Lula versus Bolsonaro: Passei 1.901 dias em confinamento solitário por revelar a verdade sobre os assassinatos e a espionagem do governo dos EUA, inclusive contra o Brasil e suas indústrias. Lula, fora do poder, lutou pela minha liberdade. Lula, no poder, discutiu minha perseguição com o papa Francisco, que decidiu se encontrar com minha família e ajudar. Depois da minha libertação, Lula e eu nos encontramos em Roma para lamentar a morte do Santo Padre. Lula foi gentil com meus filhos e não pediu nada em troca. Em contraste, Jair e Flávio Bolsonaro nada fizeram e nada disseram. Sem a capacidade de dizer não a Washington e a Tel Aviv, não pode haver política interna, apenas ordens estrangeiras. Essas instruções são sempre as mesmas: “Ampliem nosso roubo de recursos e salários e calem a boca sobre nós assassinarmos crianças”. Os entreguistas entregarão tudo em troca de uma fatia, até a própria língua.
