      Clearly a pioneer in counter intelligence. His picture is on the wall in Langley or at least on their website. Even the MI6 quote him

      The greatest empire in modern history began unraveling thanks to this one genius and high Irish morals compared with British War criminals. Ironic that fools in England compare zelensky to Churchill.😂😂😂. Russia will lose cos purin is copying Churchill and Zelensky must have learnt our history when he visited in 2017. Britain today has learned from its mistakes and keeps its war crimes private. ie SAS

    He didn't defeat the British Empire in Ireland, he only defeated it in the south; he would tell you that himself if he were alive today.

    Heres how: he didn't. Ireland is still not ran by the Irish

      He started the ball rolling for the empire to collapse

      He defeated the strongest imperial power at its height. As soon as Ireland left the union, the british empire collapsed.

    • @bobbirobin2051

      He humbled the british empire. Nobody has ever done that, alone, without outside help, only the Irish.

    "Collins a journalist". At age 13? I don't think so. BS video and back-of-box breakfast cereal history.
