Ireland doesn't need to militarily defeat any countries whatsoever. With the green isles finances shystered for the next decade, wave after inexorable wave of ruthless emigrants will flood out into the english speaking world injecting alcohol abuse and freckles into the local genepools and disturbing the delicate balance of power forever. I think Australia will fall first.

Also known as "The Long Plan". Damn if we can't beat them out of it, we'll breed them out of it. We're progressing nicely in the US at the moment with 35.4 million Americans claiming Irish Ancestry.

We should have Australia covered by the turn of the Century.

Costa Rica has no army. We walk in, plant the flag, set up shop live off their tourism, coffee and bananas. We'll send our lads there to work, technically they won't be emigrating since we own the gaff. Locals will be delighted when they hear they'll earn 180 euro a week on welfare when we take their jobs.

We should have done this years ago. We'd have had Paulo Wanchope up front for Ireland.

I'm sure Crown Prince William of Prussia after commanding the German 5th army in 1916, just might have a slightly different view of the French.

sure we've already invaded almost every country on the planet! Find me a country where there isn't an Irish flag flying proudly above an "irish" bar.

We may not have an arsenal of weapons and manpower at our disposal, but DAMMIT, we can drink!!! Stick t what we're good at! :P

Northern Ireland isn't a sovereign state.

It's also got the RN, RAF and British Army defending it.

Im afraid to ask how you have intimate knowledge of priests member size.:pac:

The Vatican City is an actual country. It is the world's smallest sovereign state in both area and population, being 0.17 sq mi in size and having a population of 829.

We wouldn't even need our navy like. Sure anyone trying to invade the PROC will be so pugalised by our sneaky turning of road signs to point the wrong way -or do they:p - that the whole invading army would end up stuck in a tailback outside Buttevant and then we'd batter 'em into submission with hurleys. :rolleyes:

A few verses of 'De Banks sung through one of these in the people's accent would have them fleeing north like a heard of startled gazelles.

Narr'ah all boy - we've turned all of the walls that collapsed in the last flood into cunningly concealed under water obstacles - any navy that tried to make landfall would be holed before they got past Cobh like.

Well we bate the Brits out of the place and they had to admit stalemate at best in the last 'campaign' here so we could aim a small bit higher than the likes of Luxembourg me thinks. I'd say we could take Scotland or Wales handy if their masters kept out of it. Definitelty Wales anyway.

Yes...the whole of the Brit army came over here with all of their army...every last man jack of them with all of their boats planes and missiles and we 'bate' them out of the place..... (cough)

Wales might be a better target than Scotland... mostly sheep there..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munster_Republic

The Munster Republic was an informal and affectionate term used by Irish republicans to refer to the territory they held in the province of Munster at the start of the Irish Civil War. The "republic" never claimed to be a state as such, but was a base for the republican civil war aim of creating an all-Ireland Irish Republic.
After the first week of fighting in the Civil War (June 28 – July 5, 1922), Dublin was held by those in support of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the Irish Free State. The main stronghold of Anti-Treaty forces (the Irish Republicans) became the self-styled Munster Republic, consisting of the counties south of a line between Limerick and Waterford. Liam Lynch, the republican commander-in-chief, hoped to use the "Republic" as a means of re-negotiating the Treaty, and ideally reconstituting the Irish Republic of 1919–21. For this defensive attitude, Lynch was bitterly criticised by some other republicans, who felt that he should be acting offensively to bring the war to a quick end.
However, the Anti-Treaty side (who were supported by a large group of rebels from the Irish Republican Army), lacked artillery and armoured cars, both of which the Free State had to borrow from the British. The Free State launched an offensive against the Munster Republic in July 1922. Limerick and Waterford were taken easily, and Cork became the last county independent of the Free State. Michael Collins sent the Free State Army by sea to Union Hall in Co. Cork and to Fenit in Co. Kerry. Cork was retaken on August 10. His opponents then moved into the countryside and continued small-scale guerrilla warfare until April 1923.

I think we could take Iceland.

Dunno how we'd get there though...

Does ryan air fly to Reykjavik?

Took a Corkman to invade Cork - so we shot him. Let that be a lesson to ye .

It would have to be a very quiet transport operation. You couldn't tell Ryanair that there was a war planned anywhere - even Iceland - and then use them. They'd put extra taxes on flights and the prices up ..... and then land you in a different country - maybe Greenland!!

Speaking of Greenland ..... only got about 56,615 people ... lots of room and probably wants the Danish Empire boot removed from it's neck. Ryanair can fly us to there Canada and we can get a couple of our expert soldier-people over the ice in the winter to take it without a shot fired!

A B52 out of Thule crashed on January 21 1968.
http://gizmodo.com/5083001/us-air-force-abandoned-nuclear-bomb-in-greenland

The new documents reveal that they were only able to find three out of the four nuclear bombs on board the plane.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B28_nuclear_bomb
It's a 1.1 Megatonne bomb equipped for air, ground, and delayed action burst.


We can't be certain they have the bomb. But it's over 80 times bigger than the ones dropped on Japan so even if they haven't been able to keep the Tritium topped up, the primary alone would be enough to put a dampner on your day.






If we invaded they might not detonate it as it would turn a small part of the country into a uninhabitable wasteland

oh wait ...

Leitrim.

Every country, first we would invade Northern Ireland and recruit the catholics, then cross into Scotland and Wales and propagate and use those anti English sentiments to go on to take Dublinlondon. With the English on our side we would then hop across the channel and be in Berlin or new cork in a month then we would be in Galway Moscow by xmas. a new thousand year Irish Reich would begin and it would be a better world.

I love the idea of an invading army using Ryanair.

If war breaks out we can take them down from within!

30 euro surcharge for a handgun.
50 euro for a semi auto machine gun
75 for a bazooka

No bullets allowed through security put they may be purchased when in flight for 10 euro each or 3 for 25 euro.
