Remove Bong

They were one of the only examples of a guerrilla force operating in an urban area, that didn't get immediately wiped out. They turned out to be about as professional, disciplined, and combat proficient as you can get with an insurgent force.

Apparently they got hurt pretty badly during the ceasefire in the mid 70s, because they stopped operating in an effort to make the Sunningdale Agreement work, and their enemies took advantage of the break in the hostilities to take them apart piece by piece. This forced the IRA to start operating with less people, smaller units, and more security.

As for their politics, if you kick a dog long enough it'll bite you. It isn't good or bad, that's just what will happen.

pretty cool before they went full commie. They also made some damn good music in that period.

Aesthetic but murderers

I just like their style

They did alright until they started bombing civilians

Op here, only familiar with wolftones but There's plenty of older fellas that know good ra music

My father got a knee done in during the 70's and knew a few fellas that got shit dead but they where drug dealers so I guess they deserved it

I feel pretty neutral about them though I find myself enjoying any documentary gracing them in good light considering the bad rap they usually get

Brits where a pack of bastards too, poisoned dogs back in the day so people wouldn't be alerted

This.

Only the aesthetic

I like their strategy of tiger kidnappings and bankrupting their enemies political backers through ruinous insurance premiums by demolishing unoccupied buildings. The Squad in the 1920s did okay work but it's amazing how amateurish they were at that time.

IRA started as communist
PIRA wasn't communist

This is literally the opposite. The IRA were notorious for being "rosary bead in one hand, armalite in the other". While the PIRA and INLA had the whole socialist revolutionary angle for fedora topping atheist communists. Eamon Collins specifically said this in his memoir "Killing Rage". To OP, the entire IRA campaign represents one of the times in the world when a western guerilla army was successful in meeting most of its demands through the utilization of secretariat violence. Likementions they managed to be successful even while fighting in the cities which is excessively rare and theorized by people like Che Guevara to not be possible. AND they managed to do this in an isolated first world nation with no other national backing (like the Houthis getting money from Iran) on an island with a history of strict gun control and strict border control. It taught the world that the future of modern combat is guerilla warfare, that winning the propaganda war and getting people support will always beat raw power, guerilla war can work even in the west, and that in the modern time you don't fight pitched battles with another army you organize sneaky terror attacks to demoralize the enemy until he gives up. (See Iraq and Afghanistan) Not that I support the IRA or sleep with a body pillow of Gerry Adams and an armalite. Hehehe...

Gerry Adams wasn't in the ra :>)

What's wrong with the late 80s-Good Friday agreement IRA? They got all those guns from Gaddafi and mortared Downing Street. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downing_Street_mortar_attack Between that and the protests by Sinn Fein over Bobby Sands saw the British come to the negotiation table, re-establish the new Stormont government, abolish home rule, ban internment, ban the home owning requirements of voting in Northern Ireland, and set up the Good Friday agreement which allowed the people of North Ireland to secede once they have the democratic majority. With this newfound armament and the success of Sinn Fein the Brits were fucked in the political front and the military front.

socialist scum

>What's wrong with the late 80s-Good Friday agreement IRA?
Not a goddamned thing. They had my full support up to that point. After that they seem to have been infected with the social justice disease that we are all exeriencing today.

It makes sense to me for the IRA to oppose Israel. It makes sense for them to support Palestine. It makes ZERO sense for them to support accepting all the refugees from the zionist wars.

the most infiltrated and heavily subverted "organization" in the history of the modern world.
it was like the mafia but every single person was an FBI agent.
the entire thing was run by the home office and MI5.
really. look into it. portrayed as this tough disciplined thing. maybe in the 40's.

modern era after the 60's?
they were just a bunch of snitches working together to keep a lid on things and keep an eye on the real troublemakers. every single leader in the IRA was working for some form of intelligence agency or law enforcement.
overrated.

Those who will fight for self-governance always have my respect, even if I don't agree with their ideology. Also, some of their bombing and bitching was bullshit, but, if you fight a war, some of the blood on your hands will disgust you or others beyond words. Up the RA

they did one thing wrong, stopping

why would I support a bunch of special branch informants working for the UK?

Their mere existence makes bongs livid so I kinda like them

Which IRA?

Assmad potatoniggers, one small step above muzzie scum

Idk bombing your enemy to hell works pretty well if you dont mind civilian casualties like in total war. I mean if you're using terrorism to scare the enemy out of fighting you probably dont care about their civilians

>FBI
>outside of the U.S.
Do you mean C.I.A.?

If someone were to form an urban guerilla force with extensive support in rural areas, one could do a lot worse than the IRA model. It's quite amazing what they were able to do with limited resources. Honestly, if they hadn't gone full potato nigger and started blowing up civilians, they probably would be the single most successful modern guerilla force.

Didnt they car-bomb civilians?

Who hasn't killed civilians? Don't apply morals when you don't apply it to your own country. Moral fag

Bong who lived in Norn Iron for a while.

I used to work alongside the nephew of Michael Stone who did pic related.

The nephew was a pretty big player too in the old days, nicest bloke you ever met but he got out on the Good Friday agreement so you can imagine what sort of man he used to be.

Honestly whenever we went out on a job alone together I was always worried some reprisal team would come for him and fill me in too just for being there.

>What's Jow Forums's opinion on the IRA, more specifically during the 60's to late 80's
Incompetent anti-republican separatists. They use rhetoric to gain sympathy, but deliberately engage in actions that accomplish the opposite goal of their rhetoric. They're literally irish antifa.
Somaliland forces are more organized and do a better job than the IRA, and they're literally retarded sub-70 IQ niggers.

... This nigger supports the french revolution, russian revolution, (((german))) revolt of 1918, and the establishment of israel.
You're a faggot.

Not deliberately.

They took more effort to not kill civilians than the British Army did.

For one thing, your third grade idea of the FBI vs CIA mandate is showing. For the other, learn to fucking read.

Oh fuck off you horrible bit of kit actually lmaoing.

IRA are just a front for a drug smuggling gang these days and all they fecking do is go around filling in civvies for the bants or targeting "collaborators". Bunch of scruffy slags.

Losers who spent centuries impotently thrashing around, finally won because the Brits were tired, and are now demolishing their own country and culture faster than the British ever could.

Not him but you should know that the FBI does work outside of the US and HRT deploys with Rangers and Delta.

Communist scum! Smash the IRA

They're child murdering scumbags

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrington_bomb_attacks

Terrorism is terrorism you dumb fuck. Go suck a muslims dick if you want to go terrorism so much.

The Britposters have entered the thread.

the IRA actually got a pretty decent amount of support from a certain country though. who you ask?

Gaddafi's Libya, funnily enough. Gaddafi gave the PIRA loads of semtex explosives which they used in their bombs, in addition to a bunch of shipments of AKM rifles, machine guns, and RPG's.

still that was the only support the IRA got, and not even all that much compared to contemporaries like Al-Qaeda and ISIS or Houthi rebels.

Fuck the Catholics
Fuck the Irish dogs
Fuck the radical liberation theologians
Fuck the commies
You are all scum
Your movement failed because you white Niggers

they achieved nothing, the civil rights movement, the sdlp the London and Dublin governments did. They were terrorists in the pure sense of using terror as the base of power against their own people Like their opposites murderous useless cretins. Neither the 1970/60s groups using labels like pira, inla oira, rira, cira, uvf, uda, uff had nothing to do wit the 1914-1922 groups. The IRA Collins commanded became the Army of the Irish republic.

I have/had family that were part of the IRA back in the day. I still have family all over Ireland, most of them in Belfast.

The IRA used to be an organisation with a point. The right of the Irish people to self determination was/is something worth fighting for and the British did some fucked up things in Ireland that warranted action (Not to say that the old IRA didn't do anything wrong).

But the people who came to power in the 70's and 80's who were less about the nationalist aspect and more about playing soldier against the Brits fucked up the entire organisation and ruined what credibility the IRA had, that's the tipping point that moved the IRA from rebels into terrorists. Bombing civilians doesn't get your country back.

They had some spot on aesthetics though.

woo boy, you do not know the reach of the FBI

every single high ranking IRA member was a fucking informant

honestly the most overrated group ever to get a reputation
at least muslims and niggers have a loyalty and devotion to their cause. IRA were a bunch of snitches trying to get a monopoly on protection rackets and drug rackets.
and they werent even good at being criminals.

They forced them to make concessions hell even Tony Blair had to admit that it was the armed struggle that brought them to the table.

Kinda mixed feels,

>Grandpa a Hurricane Pilot in ww2, Grandma an active part of the church pre-conversion
>Eldest son was RUC, daughters did 11 plus in Belfast
>Provies burned their flat to the ground, did son's knees in, threatened to cap the whole family if they didnt leave Norn Iron

But
>Dad's side of the family
>All active PIRA
>Great uncle organized army council meetings
>Most of the family did stretches in Long Kesh
>Uncle may or may not have done a couple Paras back in the day

They fought the British Army, sucessfully, for over 30 years. Still doing better than goat fuckers with Ak's

but their songs about rebellion are so pretty and romantic :(

Communists and nigger lovers that don’t care that Ireland is being swarmed full of worthless violent shitskins but cared about muh British.

Gay as fuck desu. Pretend operators that barely fought anything.

your full of shit and outside your cult remember that people like me would e happy to hang drug dealing xira dissidents and drug dealing uvf beside each other if you don't take your chance to behave and live now. There is one Irish my of the Republic and it si not and never has been a bunch of terrorists from the six counties d never will be. Tony Blair like Ahern said what was necessary to get you knuckle dragging fucks to STFU an stop making a misery of yourself.

well said, now a bunch of assmad spastic "Irish" americans are gonna come here and call you a bong. they forget that the IRA killed gards, Irish soldiers and civilians. Nobody in the republic supported them, and they used to extort Irish business owners. That's why they went to america for funds. Also, we don't want Northern Ireland anymore. It's a literal shithole.

Just cuz you pretend to be an Irishman Mr Paisley doesn't mean you are fooling any of us. The British have been oppressing us the Irish people for almost a millennia whether it be through colonization, the stormont government, home rule, torture, or internment. There can never be peace in Ireland until the foreign, oppressive, British presence is removed, leaving all Irish people as an unit to control their own affairs and determine their own destinies as a sovereign people, free in mind and body, separate and distinct physically, culturally, and economically

This, nigger-tier paddy fucks. Only shame is that the Brits were so cucked by 1970-80 they couldn't let the Ulstermen just lay the IRA to bed. Only reason they "won" is the British laid down and USG (the real boss) asked them to get out of Ireland fully.
