ATLANTIS VS PEACE. Why Choose?

A dhaoine uaisle,

Since the end of WW1 and the inception of the IF government in eIreland we have heard a lot of debate about joining the huge military alliances of ATLANTIS and PEACE.
So I have decided to tell people what I think.

First of all, most of you know that I fought in defense of Hungary in WW1. Therefore you will presume that my loyalties are with PEACE. You would however be wrong with this presumption.

I am no fan of PEACE but no fan of ATLANTIS either. Both are huge alliances made up of many countries much more powerful than ourselves. If we join either I believe that we will be pushed around into getting involved in wars that we don't want and be forced to remain inactive in other cases where we feel that we should intervene.

Why should we have to choose? We are bordered by only 3 countries. America, Britain and Canada. We have very good relationships with these countries. The IRA were even given assurances by the British that they would defend us even against ATLANTIS!! If we have alliances and good relations with all our neighbours we will be safe and possibly even safer than if we joined ATLANTIS.

What if PEACE take over Britain (unlikely and will not happen for a long time into v1) but hypothetically speaking if that did happen and we were ATLANTIS members PEACE would not hesitate to annex us. If we were neutral (to explain to some of you: Not partaking of sides in the alliance conflict) they would be much less likely to invade. Especially considering the strong relations between Hungary and eIreland after the eIRB and others fought for Hungarian freedom in WW1.

We do not need to take sides. Lets stay above this alliance squabbling and be our own nation.
