There is wall-to-wall war propaganda on the mainstream media Forget about money for housing or foreign aid to help end global starvation. The message is we must re-arm in preparation for war.
The Irish government also says it wants to get rid of the ‘triple lock’ to send more than 12 Irish soldiers to participate in EU military missions. It wants to be part of an EU army that is stationed in Ukraine.
The focus is on Russia. We are told that it is directly threatening us.
But the US President, Donald Trump, has said he wants to re-take Greenland, the Panama Canal and possibly even Canada.
Russia is certainly an imperialist power. But so too is the US. And it is the US which has been arming and supporting Israel.
It is doubtful, to say the least, that a Russian army could march through Poland, Germany and France to reach the shores of Ireland
But war propaganda works by creating a collective sense of hysteria. Remember: Irish people were told in WW1 that Germany was going to take poor little Belgium and by extension, Ireland.
In the end, over 8 million people died and only afterwards did we discover that the war propaganda was just nonsense.
Today, we once again see imperialist powers demand that weaker countries give them their natural resources. Just like they did before WW1.
There is something obscene in the fact that Ukraine must hand over half of its precious mineral wealth to the US.
Why should Ireland join in a military alliance with former colonial powers like Britain and France.
People Before Profit is opposed to any involvement of Irish troops in Ukraine. We are against any further erosion of Irish neutrality.
Stand up against the war propaganda and defend Irish neutrality.
