EA on International Outlets: Alliance No More — Trump Threatens Greenland, NATO, and Europe

EA on CBC: Canada Breaks from the Trump Regime

I joined The Deep State’s John Mooney this week for a 42-minute evaluation of the challenges for Ireland’s security between the Trump camp’s abandonment of alliances and Russia’s threats beyond its invasion of Ukraine.

We discuss the global trends with catalysts such as the Trump attempt to seize Greenland and its quest to undermine the European Union. We consider long-standing resistance by the Irish Government to devote attention and resources to security. And we evaluate if public opinion is shifting on the symbolism of Irish “neutrality”.
