Corbyn, This is democracy!!!! Options

[On the edge]

Cos theirs is Bigger and they are aware of the rise of soft leftists in Europe. Ooh, nuclear weaponry is nasty! We don't want that!

Oh right, so they can destroy the whole planet fourty times when we can only do it twenty.
Yeah, that works.

It's not the size darling!

[je suis Charlie]

No, its the willingness to face up to an aggressor.

No, its the willingness to face up to an aggressor.

Who's the aggressor? Who's threatening us?

Ah, so then, I can destroy the whole planet with 7 big ones, so, just in case some are faulty I have 15 warheads, Mr Naughty needs to keep up so gets 20. That means I increase my holding to 25, meaning Mr N goes to 30. Ooh, I say, oh dear, I'm now buying 50 yah boo. Mr Naughty gets huffy and shouts back; see what my 75 do for you.....where does this end Charlie?

Better dead than dead; doesn't compute does it?

On the bright side if all countries were nuclear weapon free we could get back to the once in a generation slaughter of millions of young people. Would help with the population crisis.

What, you mean a bit different from today, where we are just seeing peoples being slaughtered in Afganistan, Iraq and Syria? And presumably since we've had a nuclear deterrent since 1945, Korea, Vietnam, etc, etc, etc, were just minor blips? If that's your bright side, I think I prefer the dark!

European unity solved that problem..... as long as we don't see a resurgence of nationalism...: oh hold on.

Umm I suspect a good few would argue NATO might have had rather more influence

NATO may have reduced the possibility of a war with Russia (or may have come pretty close to provoking one) it can be argued that the EU that did the most to prevent the real threat - yet another war - round 4 in the heavweight bout between France and Germany.

Some argue the EU provoked the Russia/Crimea situation.

Not really a bout though. The cheese eating surrender monkeys always get whipped by the germanic hordes.

They did pretty well in 1914.

Funny how you can say that sort of thing about certain peoples with impunity, but not others.
If you made that sort of comment about say Muslims or Pakinstanis you would have the "hate crime" police knocking on your door by now!!

France is not a race though. It's just the same as the French calling us Roast Beef.

Nor is Muslim or Pakistani (or Pakinstani). Ones' a religion the other's a nationality. just like French or German.

Is it still OK to hate people down the road? Like Readingites...don't want them using our dump...

Damn the advent of modern technology too and the ability to transmit news of disasters globally. Apart from the times when Great Europeans would engage in mortal combat there was a time when what happened in Africa stayed in Africa. Natural Selection and The Circle of Life kept the population of the Dark Continent in check, but now every time a crop fails we have the saintly Sir Bob and his holiness the Great Bono demanding we dig into our savings to help supply a fleet of Mercedes to African leaders in exchange for allowing a few bags of grain to be distributed to the starving.
