The good Friday agreement ended any claim on Northern Ireland from the republic of Ireland. Not that they really wanted it anyway.
Traditional IRA are finished and criminal gangs have them running scared in the ROI
The dissident republicans are small in number and are dangerous but but as mainstream republicanism gave in, they have little support
All in all its the usual tribal politics in Ulster, most of the younger generation want more and idiots like Sean South who cheer from afar whilst being spoon fed republican bullshit would be as welcome in Dublin or Belfast as a pork chop at a Jewish wedding!
All the traditional IRA wanted was a fair hearing and once they were given that and civil rights the majority on both sides decided freedom and democracy was the way forward UNLIKE IDIOTS LIKE YOU WHO STILL BRAY to this day "IRA ran away" when the fantasy simply doesn't stack up to the facts.
It was a stalemate and whilst Loyalist paramilitaries had (according to FF) the finest special forces in the world working as an undercover terrorist cell to contend with (also clarified by a member of the UVF), the Loyalist RUC and the Loyalist paramilitaries British intelligence conceded the IRA could never be defeated.
It was the Loyalist paramilitaries burning the homes of innocent civilians at a time when the IRA were reaching out for peace that started the troubles in the first place the evidence is overwhelming and yet you continue to act like you won some kind of war.
Bobby Sands went 66 days without food before dying the Brits didn't even last a day let alone a week. Without the British forces and RUC to hide behind the Loyalist paramilitaries would have been wiped out in a week.
And democracy will eventually seal a united Ireland the population will be majority Catholic soon so you will soon have defeat.
'Hunger' is a film by Steve McQueen an impartial observer that reveals the truth. It was bigotry and hatred from the Brits that caused this war your occupation will be overturned it is only a matter of time.
'So I say, “Live and let live.” That’s my motto. “Live and let live.” Anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s always worked in our family.'
