Wow, he could get removed from a news type community for those comments... News admins are a bit bias there. Solid words from the leader of a country that has seen occupation.

Not just occupation, but starvation in a man-made famine. The British took Irish crops (other than the potato), meat, milk, and eggs for themselves. That's why so many Irish people starved when the potato crop failed. Farms on the island were still churning plenty of food, but it was going to Britain.

Also, shame on Biden, whose ancestors came to America to escape that.
