>Why didn't the USSR support/fund the IRA
That's a great way to make all the western powers fight against the IRA.
"USSR backs terrorist regime in Ireland, Britain and its Western Allies fully back the stable Irish government and rebel freedom fighter group RUC"

The IRA took material and funding from General Gadaffi over the years and the IRA had given training in urban warfare to FARC in Columbia so its not like they never interacted with enemies of the west

Because despite what /leftypol/ and Brit Bongs autists tell you the main sect of the IRA were not socialist.

>>3128676
Becouse they aren't true communists.

>>3128864
it's not about communism it's about destabilizing nato

Why didn't Nazi Germany support the IRA?????
Seems very low-risk/high-reward in my head.

They did. They tried sending weapons and all however by that point the Republic was imprisoning IRA members.

They quite literally did, Clan na Gael even went to Berlin to discuss coordinating their support
