Putin and China have been working on this plan for a long time.

They have installed their puppets at the highest levels in western democracies.

Interesting you should bring up the Irish.
Genetic testing revealed my Irish lines are ancient, aboriginal Irish.
Way before even the celts and druids.

So my family was subjugated for one thousand years by various groups.
Literally starved, beaten, enslaved.
Forbidden education, land, religion, their language, etc.

We know BS when we see it.
We know autocrats taking control when we see it.

My family lines did not survive by being stupid and not being able to add 2 plus 2 and get 4.
