Iceland

[ABBAFAN]

Well isn't it lovely. First they bully British fisherman and vandalise British warships with yobbish ramming attacks, then they refuse to pay back money owed to Britain and now, well look at all the damage that Iceland has done to Europe. Nice one. I suggest an end to the wasteful war in Afghanistan and a redirecting of forces in Britain's defence to the Northern Atlantic to combat the Icelandic menace.

[AVGWarhawk]

What damage to Europe? Volcano? If so how could they have prevented that?

[OneToughHerring]

I think he's also referring to the fishing disputes between UK and Iceland and the Icelandic economic meltdown that has been happening for some time now and the UK is fairly closely involved.

As for what to do, I don't know.

[UnderseaLcpl]

I voted for War. The Royal Navy has had far too little to do for far too long, and I'm sure the imperialist itch has been bothering our cousins across the pond for some time now.

Put on your tricornes and red coats and go smack some sense into those Icelanders. Don't forget to call America, The World's #1 supplier of quality wartime aid. We win the war or you don't pay a dime!*

[Platapus]

I think that Iceland should go over and kick England's butt and take over. :woot:

[Raptor1]

Well, Iceland has no military...and it has been almost 100 years since a good old-fashioned war broke out in Europe over entirely trivial matters...I say go for it!

Extra points if you manage to lose the first invasion.

[STEED]

Screw the invassion....WE GOT NUKES! ;)

[tater]

The invasion looked pretty cool on Letters From Iwo Jima, and that was filmed in iceland. I say invade :)

[GoldenRivet]

I voted for embargo and blockade.

But that could take some time.

say, in a period of 10 months if they are not motivated to repay their debts... well, in the words of General Patton... "You'll know what to do."

[Freiwillige]

Be careful of war, In fact surrender to Iceland now is pretty much the only sane option. Why you ponder.
Well first off lets look at the facts. They are Viking descendants and I'm pretty sure they could build a fleet of longboats with dragon heads and invade within 6 months time. Pillage your villiage will be the battle cry!

Also they could bring their Danish and Norwegian brothers into the fight especially if the whole Neo Vikings thing takes off then they would have yer assets <---lol..... surrounded.

Then you know Germany is going to be like "Wait were Nordic too kinda!" and you know despite all the civility they have shown since WWII that they have been secretly itching to roll some Panzer divisions across Europa. If for no other reason than to have a good excuse to engineer the Super king of King tiger tanks the Uber duper Konig Tiger Panzerkampfwagen 12! Yes twelve so massive they skipped a bunch of numbers and powered it by a nuclear reactor!

Surrender now!!!

[TLAM Strike]

WAR!!

Iceland doesn't stand a chance!

Dangerous Waters, I bet

Though I fail to see how you can possibly see all that with your periscope lowered...

[jumpy]

WAR!

we need a good war right now, you know, just to bolster public morale and national pride...

...oh, wait :rotfl2:

Hehe yea that's DW...

But the switch is in the raised position! :D

The light is just not lit because that's not from a screencap its from the source bmp file.

[Raptor1]

Ah...serves me right for posting at 2 AM...

Geothermal Flamethrowers vs British Troopspam?

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Huh? I thought it was filmed near Barstow in the U.S. You know, Hell.

Perhaps you're thinking of Flags of Our Fathers?

I say you send them Gordy to live among them. He can become their Gub'ner and ruin their economy.

[Tribesman]

No, you need a common issue which will really push to the core of the countries problems
Since both countries claim Rockall then all their politicians should be shipped over there to have a good old fashioned set to.
Whichever politicians are left alive at the end of the fight win the rock as their new home.

[Noren]

Nice to see subsims have a good sense of humor!

Going to war over financial reasons, boy would that lead to lots of pending wars! On top of my list would be UN against USA, as Ive heard USA covers 25% of UN's budget - but they havent payed for years....why should they, its not like UN can do something about it (rather than ask nicely)?!

Have Iceland said that they will pay eventually?

On a side note:Iceland got unwillingly occupied during ww2, the allies needed staging bases for inter-atlantic-transport and ports for sub-hunters. Iceland protested against this intrusion but the fight against axis forces weighted more than caring for the wishes of the icelandic population, now how is that different from the germans annexing denmark and norway? No anglo-saxian historybook will tell you about this. Nor will it cover the fact that allied agents sunk swedish moored destroyers during ww2, killing neutral swedish fighting men in the process - rather than risking the ships somehow falling in german hands.

Corporate news: Now, scandinavias biggest airfleet SAS (scandinavian air service) wants full compensation for money lost due to the volcano eruption...which is; grounded aircraft. Why? Should icecream-companys have taxpayed compansations for rainy summers and money lost? **** happens, suck it up - as individuals do.

How did you get info on our latest projects and plans? It was supposed to be top secret!!!:damn:

[Jimbuna]

The first steps have been taken....the British Government have ordered the seizure of Icelands assets in the UK.

No, me and Schroeder agreed on it the other day, the next time there's a war the UK and Germany will work together and conquer the world. :yep:

Really?

I thought that northern bird with a drug problem had eaten all the assets in those shops.

[Raptor1]

Really?


Definitely not, as I know of several English books that deal with it (Along with other Allied violations of neutrality, such as the planned invasion of Norway and the (badly) executed mining of Norwegian ports).

The only thing I ever buy off them is half a dozen boxes of prawn rings every Xmas......lovely for prawn cocktails and Chinese curry dishes:yeah:

[STEED]

Cripes jim and you lived to tell the tale! :o

A few years back a friend of mind bought something from them and in less than four hours he was rushed off to hospital, food poisoning. :nope:

Honestly...if you like seafood in the way of prawn cocktails or curry, at £3 these are well worth the money.

IIRC about 4 years back they were only £2.

[Safe-Keeper]

War with Iceland

They have ramming gunboats and volcanoes of mass frustration which would down all your fighters easily. You would lose. Britain may have beaten the Argentinians and seized half the world, but Vikings is a whole other story.

Oh, and don't bring up the occupation of WWII -- they let you come ashore, or all the troops would've been chased out of town by women with broomsticks. Be glad they did -- you wouldn't want them start raiding British monasteries again.


Let them do whatever they like.

Vikings don't need anyone's permission to do whatever they like. We're talking a people who come together in the utter darkness of the winter to eat rotten shark meat, and can ground the air traffic of all of Northern Europe without lifting a finger.



Blockade/embargo until the money is refunded

Those gunboats?



Years of useless discussion at the impotent UN


Skrælings have a poor history when it comes to combating Vikings. The igloo-residing natives of Vinland do not scare Icelanders. Did I mention the gunboats?



On a side note:Iceland got unwillingly occupied during ww2, the allies needed staging bases for inter-atlantic-transport and ports for sub-hunters. Iceland protested against this intrusion but the fight against axis forces weighted more than caring for the wishes of the icelandic population, now how is that different from the germans annexing denmark and norway?Are you serious? Borrowing a country to stop dictators for then to kindly leave after you're done with the war is quite different than taking a country after a month of fighting, for then to start prohibiting the population from flying their flags and forcing them to learn German in school.

It was morally questionable of the Icelanders to walk right in like they owned the place. But put into context with other things Imperial Britain did during and after the war, it doesn't rank very high.

[Jimbuna]

So what's on the agenda after lunch? :hmmm:

[Tchocky]

We need to go in and neutralize their volcanic program. It's the only way to be sure.

[Safe-Keeper]

I hear they're exporting volcano-ready magma to dictatorships through tunnels deep, deep underground. We really need to be concerned.

[krashkart]

So what's on the agenda after lunch? :hmmm:

Next on the agenda... *flip flip flip*... ah, here it is. *point* Hawaii, situated in the Pacific Ring Of Fire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ring_of_Fire), is known to possess massive quantities of magma. They have access to the same deadly magma that Iceland has threatened the world with for years.

Come to think of it... so does Wyoming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_Caldera)!!

[Jimbuna]

LOL :DL

No, no, no.... nothing of interest in Hawaii. True, there a magma deposits there, but they are being responsibly used for productive purposes. No chance at all that...erm... Hey look; Hula Girls!

Come to think of it... so does Wyoming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_Caldera)!!

Wyoming is currently interested in things that are hotter than magma.

Considering the recent deals and the Euro situation, it's more like France and Germany will unite and conquer the world!

Can you imagine? The French Grandeur coupled with German superior skills and discipline. They neatly complement each other. Oh, Russia will join too because they've become nostalgic of the past tsarist times.

Sorry old chap but the boats is still running so you can't keep poor old paddy out.
Then again the BNP after years of ranting against the bloody irish immigrants have now decided they ain't that bad even if they are crazy terrorists as their pigmentation kinda blends in.:yeah:
