Should the State declare war on the EU?

donal_cam

It would be one way of showing our disapproval of the ECB/IMF deal. Given that the regions strongest military powers are tied up in Libya now, I think we could have a good chance of victory if we went for it. For instance, our navy could cut off the supply lines to the UK from the continent, while the unprotected British and French airspace could be quickly overrun by our air force.

Aww, brilliant Ted! Let's start with the North.

I'm in favour of a sneaky attack on Belgium myself, no body would ever suspect anyone would go there willingly. That or France, who would probably surrender if we shouted things at them.

Of course people go there willingly!

Start with Andorra and promise not to beat them in the Euro 2012 qualifier to get them onside. Then onto the bigger fish of Luxembourg and the likes. With these watch-making superpowers on our side, anything is possible.


This rebellion will of course be led by Roy Keane. Joan Burton will drive the helicopters.

We have a proud naval tradition.

As for the airforce, well if they have a good attitude they'll be up to the task.

A side benefit of the war is that it will kick start our indigenous arms industry. There'll be jobs for everyone.

Aren't they all away as extras on the film set of ' Platoon 2 ' ?

I am not: the timing has never been better. If we acted quickly, we could knock the UK out of the conflict before they get the chance to redeploy their army, air-force and navy back to the UK, and then use the UK as a base to invade the continent. We would be in Berlin by June.

With victory parades down the Champs Elysees and Unter den Linden, sounds like a good ending to me :pac:

reminds me of an old joke that always made me chuckle:

Ireland Declares War on France

Jacques Chirac, The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone rings.
"Hallo, Mr. Chirac!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"

"Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

"Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is meself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbour Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eight!"

Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Begoora!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back."

Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Paddy?" Chirac asks.

"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor."

Chirac sighs amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke."

"Saints preserve us!" says Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you."

Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!"

Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000!"

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" says Paddy, "I will have to ring you back."

Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr. Chirac! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war."

"Really? I am sorry to hear that Paddy," says Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well," says Paddy, "we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness, and decided there is no freakin' way we can feed 200,000 prisoners."

Victory for some. Miniature American German flags for others.

A brilliant covert operation - he can strike from behind enemy lines.

And we can get the Swiss to help us as well. Great bunch of lads in a war altogether.
