Neutrality in the face of one sided agression is not neutral, its bootlicking evil.

How can they officially support the military fight to free the (north) eastern part of a country from occupation? If they do, everybody will ask why they don’t support it for Northern Ireland. They have spent some effort to convince the public that they are a peaceful party and not the IRA. Where should they draw the line that the fight is justified for Ukraine but not for Ireland?

Ireland and Austria are using their “neutrality” to weasel out of responsibility. It’s politically practical. The Austrian chancellor has already said that if an EU country is attacked, they will do the absolute minimum by giving logistical and humanitarian aid and nothing else, which they are forced to do thanks to EU law. Theres neutrality and there’s bootlicking an aggressor, appeasement does not work. Standing up to an aggressor, who is attacking proactively IS NEUTRAL.
