In the words of Teribus, "No nation state should relinquish it's right to act when faced with a potential threat."

Any country could be a "potential threat" depending on how you want to define it.

If one had a pre-existing agenda, looked hard enough, drew all kinds of inferences, and successfully propagandized the rest of the country into panic mode, it might be quite possible to come to the conclusion that Luxembourg is a potential threat and that an invasion is necessary for the continued safety of the world. Luxembourg manufactures and exports machinery and equipment, steel products, chemicals, rubber products, and glass products, proving that they have the capacity to manufacture weapons of mass destruction and are thereby a threat to the world. And there is a strong suspicion that a group of young men from the Middle East held a meeting in a hotel there sometime during the 1990s and they could very well have been plotting the 9/11 attack, which means that Luxembourg is a country that harbors terrorists. I'm sure someone could come up with some "evidence" if they looked hard enough (especially Teribus and BB).

I say "Let's invaded Luxembourg!!"

(Oh! Forget it! Of no great geopolitical importance—and no oil.)

P.S.: Where the hell does Teribus get the time to do all this? And if we're all a bunch or dithering nincompoops as he seems to think we are, why does he bother? Just wondering. . . .
