It honestly seems the UK crippled itself on behalf of the Ulster whatever, Churchill was right giving up the treaty ports was retarded.
Honestly the best thing for Britain would've been to give Southern Ireland Northern Ireland in exchange for having the treaty ports in perpetuity, they have all the advantages of holding Ireland and it's strategic military value without having to tardwrangle Irish mfs, the loyalists could have been supplied by their british brothers at the treaty ports with guns bombs and weapons and inflicted terrorism onto irish instead of innocent brits suffering, also unlike cowardly micks refusing to vote or politick in parliament the loyalist minority will unapologetically partake in electoralism
Genuinely giving away the military bases/treaty ports but keeping hold of the sectarian racewar terrorism shithole was Britain's biggest mistake.
