Nelson burned your fleet. Skane is Swedish. Hitler pwned your country in 24 hours.

There.

And all that is part of what makes us so great today.

You're Italians of the north.   :)

"I don't believe anything you tell me," Nately replied... "The only thing I do believe is that America is going to win the war."

"You put so much stock in winning wars. The real trick lies in losing wars, in knowing which wars can be lost. Italy has been losing wars for centuries, and just see how spendidly we've done nonetheless. France wins wars and is in a continual state of crisis. Germany loses and prospers. Look at our own recent history. Italy won a war in Ethiopia and promptly stumbled into serious trouble. Victory gave us such insane delusions of grandeur that we helped start a world war we hadn't a chance of winning. But now that we're losing again, everything has taken a turn for the better, and we will certainly come out on top again if we succeed in being defeated."


Joseph Heller, Catch-22
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

That is the greatest quote ever.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Pity I loved the Danish tactic of mounting 20 mm AT cannons on motorcycles.

Except that it didn't hold up.  Italy has been terrible for centuries.

Fogh has officially announced his candidacy... sources say.

Mr.Penguin

Sources also says that Turkey is the only hold up as all others seems to support him

So it's nice to see the entire political scene take the candidacy rumour as a fact. Venstre is slowly committing suicide here.. don't they have any politically competent people left?

reuters: Turkey maintains opposition to Dane for NATO chief

Quote[...]Turkey says Rasmussen cannot manage NATO's sensitive missions in the Muslim world, where it is waging a war against Islamist militants in Afghanistan, because of the way he handled a 2006 crisis over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a Danish newspaper, which caused riots in several countries.[...]

Fuck Turkey. Fogh's in.

I just hope he hasn't given to much to the Turks in order to win them over. At any rate I'm happy to get rid of him and thrilled about the fact that this will piss off Neil.

Why would it piss me off?  Secretary General of NATO is a position of significantly less importance being the town dogcatcher in Bumfuck, Illinois.  The only countries that seem to be getting excited are ones that aren't important.
