    Explanation: The Provisional IRA was a paramilitary force formed in response to British repression of Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland. The IRA’s response was sectarian, and their tactics were… controversial, and included widespread use of car bombs, rigged to blow once the user turned the keys in the ignition.

    Luckily, here, they’re just being nice guys! I can’t wait to turn on my new car!

    My Irish friend can’t mention me to his sister because I’m English and she is an extremely passionate Irish republican, so it really still has impacts today.

          I think they’re asking about the Soviet Tactics part, not the Pokemon phrasing XD
