Only a fool would attack Liechtenstein. No one messes with "The Sleeping Croissant".

Now, France, on the other hand...French women are quite interesting. For that matter, Quebecois women are quite interesting too. So let's invade Quebec, eh? It's only a short distance, and they will never expect the stealthy attack until it's too late.

Subject: RE: BS: What'll we do now that we don't have....
From: irishenglish
Date: 19 Jun 08 - 02:55 PM

No, instead of Quebec I think we should invade St Pierre and Miquelon. That will draw the ire of the French, so when they come to take it back, we rendezvous in Newfoundland, attack the French forces there. The Quebecois will see this as their oppurtunity, but we will be ready to force them across the ice to settle in Greenland. The French, seeing a need for renewable energy will support the displaced Quebecois in Greenland, which will then piss off the Danes, leading to the Danish-French war. By this point Andorra will hire mercenaries to gain more land, which will lead to Spanish involvement, which means that Gibraltar........
