      United Kingdom actually. May I suggest you go look at a map of where all the undersea cables go?

        Seems you’re correct. There are 6 Transatlantic to Ireland and lots from Ireland to the UK but more transatlantic go to the UK which is news to me.

      Even more tax spent to protect massive US corporates. Working out great so far isn’t it? Housing, healthcare, transport, energy, water, all broken. But let’s throw money at this sure. At least we’ll make the lobbyists happy.

        Ah sure fuck the internet cables and autonomy. That 0.2% of GDP on defence is the issue.

          I’m not saying that’s the issue. We should absolutely invest in the defence forces. What I’m saying is that it should be far down the list of priorities, given the real, actual problems happening right now. Not some imaginary threat from across the continent.

            Yeah I agree but it’s such a tiny amount we’re spending and it’s one of those things that takes a long time to ramp up.
