Strange times in Ireland. The flying of the Irish flag is not a good optic. The misuse of the national flag can cause alienation and can easily become a symbol of anger.
Some of those speaking for the protestors are expressing worrying and concerning sentiments.
Price of fuel all over the world has gone through the roof because of the actions of the US and Israel.
It is accepted that Russia is interfering malevolently across Europe in order to cause discontent among the population. Right now they are hard at work in Hungary supporting Viktor Orbán win Sunday’s election.
US vice president JD Vance was in the country earlier this week offering election support to Orbán; an outrageous development in international affairs.
No doubt Russian media will exploit the Irish blockade; such chaos must bring great joy to Vladimir Putin.
It’s not hyperbolic to suggest the people at the embassy on Orwell Road might be playing their hand in the chaos.
Author Paul Lynch in his book Prophet Song might well be telling a story that is not too far away for this little republic. The prize winning book comes highly recommended, if not disturbing.
