God help us if we ever go to war.

[Conrad de Montferrat]

Our guys couldn't do what right.
Some grossly over laden rust bucket tips over is something to do with "our guys".
But yes the traffickers now see , that pulling some deathtrap vessel to 15 miles or so from the Libyan coast is leading to European naval intervention.
There was some discussion a while back, about trying to deal with some of these vessels before they leave dry land.
Sinking or impounding some of these vessels before they put to sea, might be an option worthy of reconsideration.
Libya is likely going down the route of failed state anyway.

Libya is already a failed state....
And yes I agree - sink the ships-confiscate them. Fish in Libya already became expensive because fishermen are selling their boats to the traffickers....

If we ever go to war,

Hope it's against the Faroes.

And Denmark and Britain stay neutral. .

Even then, I'm not sure.

Denmark handles the Foreign Affairs/ Defense of the Faroes as they belong to Denmark (though not to the EU).
I wouldn't mind if the Vikings would come back to Dublin
