Iceland

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.

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

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.

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!*

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

Raptor1 · 04-22-10, 04:37 PM

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 · 04-22-10, 05:01 PM

Screw the invassion....WE GOT NUKES!

tater · 04-22-10, 05:06 PM

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

GoldenRivet · 04-22-10, 05:19 PM

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."

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!!!

Yea they are all smug with their free renewable energy! Time to teach them a lesson!
