The Irish have been the least hawkish towards the UK of any EU 27 country. If Frost and BoJo have brought Dublin to this point, then the EU will only take a stronger approach with the UK.

The influence of the Irish on the US should not be underestimated either. The Democrats view the Good Friday Agreement as a great foreign policy achievement and will defend it robustly. And now Ireland is reaching out to the US.

Specifically on the highlighted piece, remember the perfidious Varadkar? They were as hawkish as anybody, indeed more so because big brother was backing them.
