When you start digging into the IRA and the Provos and their track record, it's hilarious to think that anyone would try to provoke their retirees. They were literally next door to a regional power on an island, but successfully waged a military campaign against them for the better part of a century.
And the regional power essentially went "all right, we're scarpering off, if you promise not to kill any more of us, we'll let you go home" (this was called "decommissioning"). And even then, about half of the captured IRA/Provos told the Brits off ("Stick Your Decommission" is even the lyrics of a protest song) and accepted sentences in British maximum security prison rather than pinky swearing to not kill more Brits.

Good job pissing these people off, globalists.
