If both of you think that if the U.K government ignores/withdraws from the treaty and the EU then erect a border that the U.K. won’t be held accountable then you need to think again.
Presumably the UK or EU erecting a wall in NI would be the final remedy. I'm sure the EU scale of escalation is:
- Diplomatic pressure including getting the US on board
- Economic pressure - putting the pressure on big investors like Siemens and AkzoNoble to warn the UK that their investment is threatened by possible sanctions
- Targeted sanctions on British goods and services, introduction of visas etc.
