BELFAST — President Joe Biden arrives in Northern Ireland on Tuesday to salute the 25th anniversary of its U.S.-brokered peace accord. But it will be a hollow celebration.

Power-sharing between British unionists and Irish nationalists, the central vision of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, is failing.

I'd advise the Irish to hide their kids. At least keep them out of arms reach from Uncle Joe.

“MI5, the United Kingdom’s domestic counterintelligence and security agency, has raised the terrorism threat level in Northern Ireland from “substantial” to “severe,” meaning an attack is highly likely.” https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4141478/posts

Bill Clinton’s Good Friday Agreement legitimized the Marxist-Leninist Sinn Fein IRA and now 25 years later Sinn Fein is the most popular party on both sides of Ireland.

This is what Joe Biden celebrates-commemorates today.

Poor Ireland

Its a scientific fact that everything Biden gets involved with turns to shit.

As such, I wouldn’t let AF1 land. Just having it nearby is a huge risk.

What the hell, why not start a war with Northern Ireland to go along with his Russia and Chinese war?

Northern Ireland has had no elected government for a year?

Nobody is in charge? I know Northern Ireland is part of the UK. But are they saying there’s no local governmental authority? Among other things, are taxes being collected, government services being given, bureaucrats getting paid?

Joe Biden doesn’t know why he’s over there in the first place.
