When it comes to relations with the United Kingdom, then whatever the Irish Republic wants, the United States has always wanted it to have, and the same is also now true of the European Union.
Therefore, since the Irish Republic wants there to be a sea border, the US wants there to be a sea border, and the EU wants there to be a sea border.
So there is going to be a sea border, behind which a United Ireland, or at least a British withdrawal from Northern Ireland, will be inevitable.
The American Republic's relationship with the Irish Republic is even more special than its relationship with Saudi Arabia or with Israel.
Those are at least partially strategic, and thus potentially open to modification.
But the Irish Republic is not even officially an American ally at all. It does not need to be. Uniquely in the world, what it has with America is unconditional.
So there is going to be a sea border, behind which a United Ireland, or at least a British withdrawal from Northern Ireland, will be inevitable.
Yes, there are people who want to shut me up.
