Lol some dork was literally saying "Uh, actually the UK is like Ukraine and Ireland is like Russia!" in one of the Federated threads. And I wish I could tell you what they meant but I have no idea, it was a very confusing discussion.

Yeah we tried to tell them that several times. I don't know if they were taking the piss or just have a very, very strange view of the world.

I've seen British libs claim this unironically, so they may have been serious.

I think I figured it out. It's about the relative concentrations of fascists in positions of power in the respective nations.

What they meant is that Ireland is viciously seeking to invade UK land with it's 'reunification' idea.
