I know in the 80s the IRA sent guys to NY and America to buy bulk weapons, I wondered if they approached any mob guys but it doesn't look like it. I am not surprised at all about alleged IRA links with Italy, some of these real IRA members are basically just gangsters.
They act like gangsters, but they have a legit reason, to get England out of their country. Still I see the IRA as a mafia type organization, but their core is still the same beliefs of a free Ireland.
You don't know what you are talking about though. I read your posts in the previous thread on the IRA.
Firstly, they generally don't behave like gangsters - even their recent stuff (which I don't agree with) isn't gangsterism. How many gangsters do you see taking on soldiers in their own barracks, killing two, for no personal gain?
Secondly, you strike me as someone willing to fight to the last drop of someone else's blood. Sad.
