The nation that couldn't keep a hippy with a pair of pliers off of their trident submarines would never be able to stop a horde of scotsmen trying to seize the subs.

1. no-deal brexit
2. massive economic contraction and Ireland/NI border chaos from no-deal brexit
3. ukip/xenophobe faction dishonestly attempts to blame economic pain on the EU, demagogues shamelessly on that basis, aided by troll farms and idiotic UK media
4. fact checker types yell that the ukip/xenophobe faction is lying but no one cares
5. big money backs ukip/xenophobe faction over corbyn in the election
6. NI violence escalates
7. rhetoric between PM Farage and EU leaders escalates
8. tariffs, civilian movement restrictions, blockades
9. war

I'm just a dumb American who reads the news so, where in that sequence does something different happen

Yes, but it would be the UK forcing the issue and not the EU sending Ireland down the river.

Yeah some people have been losing their loving mind over drill. It's the latest scapegoat for the kind of morons who think that music, TV or video games are inciting violence. Its much easier to blame this than deal with the real problems that might be causing young people to turn to crime and violence.
