Weird for Ireland to abstain

[โ€“] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not at all. You'll notice basically the entire EU abstained. Ireland's government is very neoliberal and is aligned with everything that the EU and NATO want. Ireland wants to be part of "the West" and so it has to be pro-colonialist and pro-imperialist. The days when Ireland was a bastion of anti-imperialism are long gone. Anti-imperialist Ireland died when they signed off on the Good Friday Agreement.
