"The MAGA movement has decided Europe is its number 1 enemy" - @davidmcw

"Ireland is the most Americanized economy, outside America, in the world."

"While we got into bed with the Europeans and got married, we were getting knocked up by the yanks all the time."

"We are basically an Ameropean...half European half American."

"There's a lot of hagiography about Mark Carney talking about middle ranked countries getting together. For Irish people, middle ranked countries are the countries that screwed us. It wasn't an American unipolarity world that destroyed Ireland, it was the middle ranked countries. The UK...Germany. They destroyed the countries around them. Middle ranked countries like France. They had massive colonies. They destroyed countries around them. They were fighting with everybody." "I'm not sure I want a world run by middle ranking countries because historically their actual footprint has not been anything other than crushing the people around them." "The interesting thing about Pax Americana, for us, you take Ireland, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, these countries have done extremely well under American hegemony because Americans have allowed us to be at the top table without having the resources to earn us the right to be at the top table...We were bullied by those middle ranking countries. So we've done very well out of this Pax Americana...We should be careful what we wish for."
