You shouldn't reject out of hand that Ireland would not implement an order from the EU to erect a hard border. Remember, their economy would be trashed. It would have been very interesting.

You seem to be obsessed with everyone saying it was the UK's fault. You have no way of knowing that. A strong, resolute government (we don't have that) would have its ducks lined up and in any case, which countries outside the EU and US would care? They'd be eating their popcorn same as us.
