"And when battle lines get drawn we are mostly only willing to fight on the side of those who offer the most protection to our nearest biological bloodline"

I always wondered why so many Irish Republicans fought for Monarchial Britain in WW II.

I am well aware of the wars you mention, and I still stand by what I said
In my posts. Communism was seen as the major threat and enemy to
Western capitalist countries and their people. at, the time of the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The Cold War with Russia was at an all time high. And American leaders
Saw the Korean and Vietnam war as part of the domino affect of countries falling into communist hands and threatening them with more communist power.They also
Knew Russia was backing these wars with weapons.

We were asked to send troops by the country we saw as protecting our people
with, their seemingly unbeatable military. America.. So again we sided with the bloodline at the time, who was the most likely to come to the aid of our closest bloodline in Australia if we were threatened by the domino effect with the communists gaining control of one country after another in ASIA to our north. it was said at the time that the communists especially Russia and Mao’s Chinese were plotting to bring
Down capitalist countries and we feared being overrun by the millions of poor Chinese,by their sheer numbers. This was before China became prosperous by
Adopting the one child policy.
Now that's a fear of your bloodline being conquered and your territory and land you need for your own survival being overrun. That underpinned the Vietnam involvement
Our fear of China back then was the same kind of fear and distrust
Western countries, feel towards Isis now. Today we have a much better relationship with China due to trade deals etc.plus and they are prosperous and not desperately poor any more.

So the Vietnamese and Korean allies had the same view as the West in general? Australians killed more Germans than Asians . Europeans killed 395629463 Europeans more or less last century.

Is mise.
The Irish fought with the British against the Germans in Worl War 2
Because they saw Britain as the devil they knew, although their dislike of the British
having governance of Ireland was stiill strong.

But the Germans were an unknown enemy and may have decided to slaughter all the Irish that were under no threat of death from the British as they were in the1600s
When the British marched in and took control of Ireland and the British settlers followed and set up towns and cities on Irish land.

A few centuries down the track, The British people had informative news reporters
And everyday frequent news reports. The British military in Ireland could not be seen to be
Committing atrocities against the Irish citizens without just reason.
The Germans however were slaughtering millions of civilians at that time without any kind of fear from justice systems.
If I'd been Irish and had to make that decision, I too would have let the hostilities
Over making Ireland a republic which had a chance eventually of being won from the Brutish go and fought the more "real and present danger". (Yes,, movie quote) of the
Germans.

Nicknamenick.

And how many did the Ottomon empire slaughter.

The Japanese Slaughtered millions of Chinese, that's right "millions" in the lead up years to World War 2. You may have heard of the rape of Manchuria.
They seized the wealthy Manchurian railway and goldmine in China.

There,s Ghanghis Kane who conquerored half the world. Him and his men
Slaughtered most of the citizens in the towns and country's they took.

The Turks committed genocide against 1million Muslims but they deny it to this very day. They don't mention or teach it in their school history.

Oh, also how many did the Arabs kill when they started their civil war in Iraq with their bombs and car bombs. As many as the Americans I'd reckon, not to mention the invasion looting and rape of Kuwait for 3months before being driven out of Kuwait by
A United Nations sanctioned force headed up by America.
America waited 3months to get that permission while everyone was appalled on the
World news that no one was helping the people of Kuwait.

Genocide isn't a European trait it is an all of human trait. Which is the point I made in
My original post. All across history, also ,you have had warlords, like Isis and other
Bands of male conquerors rise up and just take lands and territorial wealth with
Weapons. Ghanghis Kane lived in absolute wealth and splendour, ruler of half the world that he took at the point of a gun and sword. Also the Roman Ceasars.
The British family today still has sumptuous wealth and lifestyle bestowed upon them
By the warlords who set themselves up as kings.
The rewards of territorial conquest are worth dying for, for some males who will be condemned to a life of poverty and misery otherwise.

CHERFUL,

Ireland was neutral in WW II and whilst she did nothing to stop her citizens joining the British forces she did nowt to stop them joining the German forces.

"Friesack Camp or Camp Friesack is a name commonly used to refer to a special World War II prisoner of war camp where a group of Irishmen serving in the British Army volunteered for recruitment and selection by Abwehr II and the German Army. The camp was designated Stalag XX-A (301) and located in the Friesack area, Brandenburg region.[1] The training and selection by Abwehr II and the German Army occurred during the period 1940-1943."

There was not as much involvement as in WW I when there was an Irish Brigade in the German Army, as there had been in the Boer War on the Boer side and previously in France, Clare'S Dragoons being notable.
