I love how the Irish have the audacity to look at the state of things, look at the situation, see a nation with nuclear weapons, look at a van and a trashcan and be like, "Yeah I think we can win with this."

It was an insurgency. It’s not like the British were going to carpet bomb Belfast.

The British would never carpet bomb fellow British subjects! Which according to them is everyone in the world.

…everyone in the world except Europeans. Ireland isn’t European, it’s an island, so it’s different.

This is not my view, it is the view of the British that Britain is not a part of Europe because it’s an island and islands are different, this is why they left the EU. They didn’t want dirty migrants from third world countries like Germany. You know, Germany with their high speed rail, third world country.
