The Irish and the Scots were two peoples that the Romans could not conquer. Ireland could become very interesting if they rediscover their inner Celtic warrior.
I recently watched a 28 July interview on Odysee between Irish journalist John Waters and American indy journalist Michael Yon about what's happening in Ireland. I feel an obligation to listen to Yon even when some of the things he says sound crazy, because he has definitely put in the leg work. It's dire. So dire I hesitate even to post a link here. But you could find it there if you're interested.
