I don't see any change it the balance of power between the UK and Ireland - as evidenced by the protocol negotiations - so I don't see the point of your comment. If anything, the Ukraine invasion has strengthened the EU and the case for Ireland's role in it. You appear to see power in entirely military terms - a peculiar US obsession. I am far more interested in the EU's soft power, and I believe the invasion has only made that more relevant.
