      Yeah tbh I find we are way slower to rock the boat than we should be given the advantages of being a small nation. We’ve a lot to learn from the Baltics in that regard.

      We should have expelled the Russian ambassador and the public would have roundly supported it. If they reciprocated it’s not that much of an issue for Irish in Russia because they can use any EU consulate.

      Alas, it never happened. I see the same here.

      The only meaningful thing that I’m aware we’ve actually done while watching this slaughter and starvation is join South Africa in their genocide case.

      The public push the government but they clutch their pearls and wring their hands instead of taking the moral stances that small nations can.
