    Ireland is not part of the EU

    Say what now???

    Taking US officials hostage because the US jails their own citizen

    Say what now???

    The US is still “somewhat” working together with other countries to not just jail tourists for being “immigrants”

    Say what now??? US detained recently number of EU and British tourists for no reason whatsoever:

      Oh my bad, i thought it was Northern Ireland.

      Besides that my other points still stand.

      • She’s a US citizen.
      • EU / Germany tourists are being returned as they should be

      I think we should not really try and start a war.

        Kindly learn to read. Pretty please:

        She’s a US citizen

        She is NOT a US citizen. She is EU citizen living in the USA on the green card, illegly detained as multiple other EU and British citizens.

        EU / Germany tourists are being returned as they should be

        No. EU and British citizens should not have been detained in the first place and should not have been jailed for weeks - and if USA carries on like that, EU should definitely answer in kind.

          I think greencard means resident. If its the step right before citizenship then you have all rights outside of voting and jury duty.

          She is NOT a US citizen

          Is that not what a valid green card means?

          No. EU and British citizens should not have been detained in the first place and should not have been jailed for weeks - and if USA carries on like that, EU should definitely answer in kind.

          You say no. But that is just the truth. They are not being dissapeared like others are.

          It should not have been happening of course.

          Whether the EU should “answer in kind” is just warmongering. Stop going instantly towards declaring something that looks like a war declaration. Instead condemn the US and its treatment of people, and make people liable for themselves when going there by warning them.

            No, it doesn’t. 🤦

            At no point I said such thing - I merely suggested EU should do what USA are already doing.

            Edit: say what now???
