Isn’t Ireland essentially economically impotent like Greece?

I mean, even after the quadrupling they only gave $7mil?

Warren Buffet wipes his ass with that each day.

yeah. their big thing is being a tax haven (remember when medtronic moved there?) but Trump's tax reform from 2 years ago nullified Ireland's advantage.

Yeah, a lot of the Silicon Valleyh outlets have Dublin offices. The leftists always want to spend OUR money, then whine about how we're not paying our fair share. They have a point that the southern states are net takers, but the south is generally where the "slower" conservatives live anyways.

Nah, they were a roaring economy, the EU called them the “Celtic Tiger”. Not so much anymore. Now they’ve got IRA units reactivating because of the Muslim invasion problem.

Is it because of the muzzies? I was always fascinated by how hard the IRA fought the British yet they seemed to bend over and allow themselves to be fucked by Islam.

Is this really a thing? Because I have been expecting it, and Ive been surprised I haven't heard about it happening yet.

That's true. The best of Ireland fled to America. And, truth be told....we'd be FAR less as a country without their input. The Irish immigrants have been invaluable to America's rise in prominensce. It's why we love the Irish.and hate the muzzies. The muzzies have done NOTHING for us as a country....the IRISH have elevated us to GREATNESS!!!! 👍You could, historically speaking, take all the muslims out of this country....and we'd never miss them. Remove the Irish....and we wouldn't exist.

You're dumb as hell and certainly have never met Boston Irish...they are the only ones keeping that state.afloat. The Irish Catholic just ran the PP/ DragQueens teaching sex ed faction out of Worcester, MA. It was the Irish Catholic that did that....nobody else. You're uneducated.

What I know about the Irish is that they own small businesses all over the country but are concentrated on the East Coast. If there's a Mc something that's an Irish guy that started it.

Also Ireland is great for tax evasion.

I know a guy who had the feds knock on his door about Whitey Bulger, so he says. Southie kid. You pretty much described him.

Shows how much the WHO depends on american taxpayers when a first world country like Ireland quadruples its funding and it covers virtually none of what the united states was contributing.

Ireland isnt first world lol. Its very pretty but it isnt first world, most of Europe isn't for that matter.

3
AceOfTrumps 3 points ago +3 / -0

You're right, Ireland is(was?) technically third world... but that's because the original usage of the terms was whether you were a NATO ally (first world), a communist (second world), or "neutral" (third world)

Europe appears to have been split in thirds regarding world status, but ostensibly Ireland is the only European third world that wasn't on the eastern frontier of commies

Its pretty poor thats for sure. Europe is basically an aristocracy in some cases. A good chunk is quite poor and the rich make up the rest. There is very little middle class.

Great virtue signalling by Ireland. Way to show those mean old Americans by picking up 1% of the slack.

You're playing with the big boys now!

Ask yourself what Ireland will get back out of this? What will they gain from an organization that spread Chinese propaganda and took no steps to offer sound advice?

They'll be "allowed" to borrow themselves into bankruptcy.

Ireland's GDP is rougly 2% of the US.

So if they had to quadruple to make up less than 2% of our contribution, its almost fair now.

Proving that other countries can contribute more and USA less

4
Afeazo 4 points ago +5 / -1

Huh, its almost like when other countries are not relying on America to pay their bills for them, they can increase their funding multiple times and it doesnt even make a dent in what america was contributing.

Imagine if the USA did this across the board, especially with our military? Our economy would explode and taxes on citizens would tank, while every other country goes into a depression and they realize they cant even pay for all the social services that were only possible to be funded because the USA was propping up other areas. Countries like Greenland and Iceland dont even have an army, they are completely dependent on others. Countries like Japan, Germany, the UK and france spend less than 2% of their GDP on the military while the USA is spending 3.2%, yet we hold 1/3 of the told global military budget.

If we stopped funding military protection for the globe, we could even have almost no income tax.

Turns out snakes do live in Ireland after all. I hope they can find their leprechauns' pots of gold to pay for this.

Hey, somebody’s gotta throw some money in the hat for those sacrifices to Moloch and Saturn and Ishtar, otherwise these fucking aristocrats aren’t going to have a ‘sex life’ in their extremely-numbered days.

Well isn't that just really woke!

Like most things woke, it is just useless posturing
