Post by: an0n on February 20, 2002, 01:42:58 pm: Pfff. Britain should just claim Gibraltar and tell those fish stealin' expletives to go expletive themselves. They nick our fish and expect to get a small island for doing so? Yeah right. The troops shoulda just made the best of it and marched on to the Gibraltan capital (hahaah), executed the officials and claimed the island as part of the British Empire.

Do you really think the Spanish would do anything? Britain should just say 'Right, we're taking the island. Whine about it and we'll start torpedo-ing your fishing traulers'.

Post by: an0n on February 20, 2002, 03:26:05 pm: But only America and China have the capability to attack Britain with them (America - Never....Oh wait, Bush is president now ain't he. China - Like they'd care if Spain got nuked). Russia did have the potential but I doubt they'd want to be pissing anyone off given their current state.

Post by: Zeronet on February 20, 2002, 03:26:28 pm: Well we are one of the 5 legally allowed to have them as per the UN treaty, we are an offical nuclear state. India, israel etc are not legal nuclear states.
