Klaxons are sounding, Europe is under attack.

Artful_Badger

Michael D is on the Six One news calling for all able bodied men and women to take up arms and protect our homeland from impending invasion by joining the Allied EU forces. This is no drill, relations have soured between Europe and Russia, war has been declared and Russian forces have taken eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

What do you do ? Set off to do your part to protect your home ? Or stay where you are and wait it out hoping and praying that the Russian armies never get this far as millions of other Europeans give up their lives to try and hold them back ?

I for one welcome our new Russian overlords. They could hardly make a bigger sh1te of the place than the last two mobs we elected.

They will do what the romans did **** off afer a week and say they will never return to such an isle of depression and death

Ah, yes. Youtube, that source of truth-telling, honest journalism and realistic, balanced depiction of cultural norms and reality!
I've been to Russia - in reality - many times. Great place altogether.

No, but those in the video looked more worried than usual as they stared off into the distance.

Huge difference between visiting a place and living there. If youve been a lot of times you should know this.;)

Artful_Badger

Just to clarify, whether or not Russia is nice or not they will be rolling in here in tanks, ruining good fields with bombs, making it impossible to go on the beer and possibly might even knock the internet out for a bit.

Was the OP suggesting that the Russians would be invading to invite us all back to their gaffs or something?
You don't need to live somewhere to know what it is like. Repeated, extended exposure to the place, plus an engagement with the culture, language and media does the trick quite nicely.

GRMA

Bring back the IRA I suppose.... tbh it would be impossible for us to win a conventional war or to stop us from being invaded... best tactic is to fight like the IRA did

Gatling

In that case I'm calling the "A-TEAM"

I think you're a few decades out of date OP to be picturing a Russian invasion. Could you not have picked a more realistic modern aggressor?

Russia are always good for a hypothetical invasion.

Cavehill Red

The Germans have already successfully won an economic war and now dictate policy here. What could they possibly gain from conducting a land offensive?

Nope, I thank God I live up a crappy boreen, over a rickety humpback bridge that even the pikeys can't get over. Russians? Good luck with that.

Great thing if the Russians invade we have some 100,000+ polish nationals who hate the Russians at least we know they'll turn up for a fight even if were to get a contermand not to fight

Putin is a bit like the Borg though, his ego won't let him see Higgins as a threat. The Hobbit can just waddle right up to him and smack him in the sack with the stick.

Higgins Wins! Vasecticality!

we would need someone to arm us, more than likely that would have to be an arms producing nation who have a long standing rivalry with Russia..

It's the EU vs Russia not Ireland. The Germans and Swiss will arm us.

Because the USA, Britian, France, etc... Have all cut off flights in and out of the countries.
That's bollocks.

We don't have conscription like some other very militant states so no one will be sent to prison for not going to war.

I'd be out in a flash.
